Our Value Chain Assets
An integrated player with a growing presence in the LPG value chain
At BW LPG, our focus on profitability has provided shareholders with good returns. We continue to execute strategic investments across the value chain, expanding our integrated platform to capture opportunities as they arise.
We are growing our downstream terminal infrastructure and LPG distribution presence, as our core shipping business serves our customers with the world’s largest fleet of Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs), and our in-house Product Services Team purchases LPG and delivers it directly to buyers and/or receivers.
A trusted partner for customers,
a trust built on decades of operating experience
We aim to source and transport LPG globally, and build infrastructure in locations where we can add value by participating in the terminalling and distribution of LPG. By partnering Public Sector Undertakings, national players, trading houses and other private companies, we support the seamless flow of energy to communities worldwide, and enhance supply chain efficiency.
As an integrated value chain player, and being part of the BW Group of companies, we can leverage on deep experience across diverse portfolios to provide our customers with the convenience of end-to-end service.
BW LPG Infrastructure
BW LPG Infrastructure is the team at BW LPG dedicated to developing our value chain assets. The team is led by Managing Director Iver Baatvik, and they are based in Dubai and Oslo. BW LPG Infra is focused on business expansion, finding opportunities to develop LPG infrastructure in key emerging markets around the world.
In 2023, BW LPG Infra secured a milestone progress in the development of its presence onshore, forming a joint venture to develop and operate a new LPG onshore import terminal at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Association (JNPA) Port in Navi Mumbai, India. This achievement, made against the backdrop of our successful shipping presence in India, sets the stage for future investments in fast-growing economies around the world.
Unlocking potential in the LPG supply chain: India
BW LPG’s first foray into the fast-growing LPG market in India was the set up of an LPG shipping subsidiary in 2017 with a modest fleet of three modern Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs). Since then, we have grown to become India’s largest owner and operator of VLGC, accounting for approximately 25% of the maritime transportation of LPG into India.
With strong and stable returns from our Indian subsidiary, we took the next step to advanced our growth trajectory along the value chain, with an investment of USD 10 million in late 2023 to construct the largest cryogenic storage facility in JNPA Port, Mumbai.
