| The BW Group is one of the world’s leading maritime groups in the tanker, gas and offshore segments, operating a fleet of 117 owned, part-owned or controlled vessels. Our principal business areas are:
Our businesses are managed by experienced teams that deliver high quality and safe operations, prudent financial management and high levels of customer service. Our tanker assets are managed by Singapore-based BW Maritime, which is supported by a global network of affiliate offices. BW Gas is our gas transportation business and BW Offshore is the offshore oil and gas production business. Both BW Gas and BW Offshore are operated in Norway, and BW Offshore is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. APL, which produces offshore mooring systems, was acquired by BW Offshore in 2007 and operates as an independent subsidiary in Arendal, Norway. Berge Bulk is engaged in the transportation of coal and iron ore, and these vessels are managed but not owned by companies in the BW Group.
The BW Group was formed in 2003 when World-Wide Shipping, a privately-owned tanker and bulk shipping company founded in Hong Kong in 1955 by the late Sir YK Pao, acquired Bergesen, Norway’s largest shipping company. Through its predecessor companies Bergesen and World-Wide Shipping, the BW Group has been delivering energy and other vital commodities for more than 70 years. We employ more than 4,500 people including seastaff, with 150 in the Singapore office, 180 in the BW Gas shore office in Oslo, 95 in the BW Offshore shore office in Oslo, and 270 in the APL office in Arendal. |
