Balancing safety, growth, compliance, and sustainability across planning, operations and infrastructure delivery

Ports, harbours, and terminals are complex multi-stakeholder environments under constant pressure from regulation, competition, climate change, and technology shifts. We help port operators, owners and authorities make sense of this complexity. We provide independent design, engineering and advisory services that help customers plan, build and operate safe, efficient, and sustainable maritime infrastructure. 

Our teams work with governments, port owners, developers, and operators to address the technical, environmental, and operational challenges shaping the future of maritime logistics. 

From concept and FEED design to asset integrity, safety assurance and metocean data analytics, we deliver clarity across every stage of the project lifecycle. 

Port owners, operators, and authorities face rising complexity, regulation, climate pressure, and risk

Complex terminal and jetty requirements

Port owners must adapt facilities for larger vessels and diverse cargo. We deliver safe, compliant design solutions across liquid, bulk, and passenger operations.

Risky investment and procurement decisions

Developers and investors require certainty in cost, design, and delivery. Our FEED and tender advisory reduce capital risk and improve project outcomes.

Multidisciplinary project complexity

Terminal development demands coordination across multiple disciplines and stakeholders. We manage risk through integrated engineering design and project oversight.

Safety and compliance pressures

Ports operate under increasing regulatory and public scrutiny. Our safety and HAZOP expertise protect people, assets, and the environment while ensuring international compliance.

Ageing assets and lifecycle risk

Ageing jetties and terminals are increasingly vulnerable to degradation and operational downtime. Our asset integrity reviews extend operational life and optimise maintenance investment.

Specialist infrastructure integration

Bespoke facilities require tailored delivery. We provide turnkey design and integration for unique operational environments.

Environmental variability and downtime risk

Port operations are vulnerable to changing metocean conditions. We provide data and modelling to predict impact, reduce dredging costs, and maintain safe navigation.

Connected transport networks under climate stress

Authorities and operators rely on resilient road, rail, and air connections. We support risk assessment, planning, and adaptation to safeguard multimodal infrastructure.
