Many reasons to ship your LPG with us:
- Cleaner energy at workplace
We also have and operate the world’s only VLGCs retrofitted with LPG dual fuel propulsion technology that provides lower emissions and more savings.
- The largest VLGC fleet around the world
We offer high ship availability for mass stock with 39 VLGCs in our fleet. Additionally, our LPG-powered VLGCs reduce pay-off time and increase commercial availability.
- An award-winning fleet
Our vessels are maintained to the highest standards, with industry-leading low numbers of SIRE and CDI observations. Over half of our fleet have been awarded the Qualship 21 certification. Less than 10% of all foreign-flagged ships that operate in the United Sates meet the eligibility requirements of this programme, putting our qualified vessels in an elite class.
- Work with experience
For over 50 years, we have been shipping LPG to world markets. Over the years, we combine operational experience with innovative and flexible solutions for our customers. As part of the Pier Group, we also have access to the capabilities of many leading maritime and energy companies
- Zero Harm in everything we do
Safety is a corporate priority and always comes first. Because only then can customers rely on us to do our jobs. Only then can energy be delivered to world markets, and only then can our colleagues go home safe.
- Against bribery and corruption
We are a member of the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network, and we insist on the highest standards of integrity from ourselves and our partners.
- Act for the future
At Pier Shipping, we are committed to sustainability and decarbonization for the long haul. In 2020, BW LPG made the sector’s single largest investment in decarbonization initiatives by committing USD 130 million to retrofit 15 of its VLGCs with LPG dual-fuel propulsion technology onboard. Retrofitting is done in conjunction with scheduled dry dockings. To deliver energy with BW LPG is to ship smarter, more sustainably, and more cost effectively.
