OUR HISTORY
MORE THAN 80 YEARS IN MARITIME ENERGY
In 1955, Sir Yue-Kong (Y.K) Pao bought his first vessel, a 27-year-old coal-burning freighter renamed the Golden Alpha, and founded World-Wide Shipping. In 2003, World-Wide Shipping acquired Bergesen, Norway's largest shipping company founded in 1935, and in 2005, the business was re-branded as BW. The LPG segment of the BW business was listed in 2013. Today, BW LPG owns and operates the world's largest fleet of VLGCs and continues to deliver growth and value to society and stakeholders.
