First Marine International
As the maritime industry’s technology and business environment continues to evolve, FMI helps clients address challenges, exploit competitive advantage, and position their businesses for future success.
A specialist team delivering meaningful advice
We have a deep knowledge of maritime markets, shipyard operations, and international best practice. Our team of highly qualified professionals has worked on projects in over fifty countries – and been involved in the design and engineering of some of the largest and most successful shipyards in the world.
As industry people, we understand the need for practical, implementable solutions. We have years of proven experience identifying the tools and approaches required to meet our clients’ exacting needs and ensuring they deliver value.
Those clients include naval and commercial shipyards, government departments, non-governmental organisations, marine equipment manufacturers, and the financial and legal professions worldwide. We are proud to have built long-standing relationships within all of these industries.
In 2008, FMI was acquired by Royal HaskoningDHV. The ability to draw on resources across disciplines and borders within the wider company means we can respond to a wide range of client needs even more effectively. Together we support each stage of the shipyard design, construction, and operation lifecycle.
What sets us apart is our wide international experience and in-depth knowledge of all aspects of shipyard operations.

The delivery of unusual and special projects
We are specialist industry people and do not engage in general consultancy. Most of us have a background in shipyards or related organisations and are recognised leaders in our specialist areas. We understand international best practice and invest in research so we can offer our clients the most up to date solutions. We are based in the UK with offices in the USA, Germany and the Mediterranean.Since 2008, FMI has operated as the shipyard technology and market research advisory group within Royal HaskoningDHV. By drawing on resources across disciplines and borders within the wider company we are able to respond effectively to wide range of client needs. For example, together with our colleagues in other areas of Royal HaskoningDHV, we can support clients through each stage of the shipyard design, construction and operation life cycle.
