BMT Partners with Seabed 2030 to Enhance Ocean Mapping in Asia Pacific and Globally

BMT Partners with Seabed 2030 to Enhance Ocean Mapping in Asia Pacific and Globally

BMT has officially joined the Seabed 2030 Project, a collaborative initiative aimed at mapping the world's oceans. This partnership will leverage BMT's extensive maritime expertise to support the project's goal of creating a comprehensive ocean map, which is crucial for understanding marine risks and opportunities. The Seabed 2030 Project, endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade, seeks to compile all ocean floor data into the freely available GEBCO Ocean Map. Despite its significance, much of the ocean remains unmapped, which hinders decision-making in marine environments. BMT's involvement is expected to enhance collaboration within the geospatial and maritime communities, accelerating the mapping process. As BMT expands its maritime capabilities across Australia and the Asia Pacific, this partnership will integrate its knowledge in maritime design and environmental solutions with Seabed 2030's mission. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
