BW Gas is a leading marine transporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) with a fleet of about 65 vessels with a deadweight ton (DWT) total of 3.3 million. The company has been busy renewing its fleet by scrapping and selling older vessels. BW Gas plans to concentrate on building its very large gas carriers (VLGCs) fleet. BW Gas is part of BW Group Ltd. (formerly Bergesen d.y. ASA), which also includes BW Offshore, BW Maritime, and BW Fleet Management. Hong Kong-based World-Wide Shipping Group bought Bergesen d.y. ASA in 2003. BW Gas was taken private by the family of CEO Andreas Sohmen-Pao and delisted from the Oslo Stock Exchange in 2009.
