Hamworthy has taken a majority interest in Baltic Design Centre Limited (BDC), the ship design and consultancy business based in Gdynia, Poland. BDC will be renamed Hamworthy Baltic Design Centre (Hamworthy BDC). Hamworthy chief executive, Joe Oatley, said that the acquisition would both increase the cost competitiveness of Hamworthys gas systems business and augment the groups wider design capabilities. "For our existing businesses it means we can obtain a better insight into our customers' operational requirements and optimise our system designs," he said.
