Bergesen d.y., the predecessor to BW Gas, was originally a pure crude oil transportation company, but has since developed a significant presence in the more specialised shipping markets for gas transportation. The track record and reputation of BW Gas as a safe and reliable operator places the company in a unique position to develop and build customer relations, in order to offer specialised and profitable services which give potential cost savings to customers. 

Today, BW Gas is the world's largest owner and operator of gas carriers, and the clear market leader in the market for larger LPG carriers. The company also has a significant presence in the LNG sector.
