BW LPG India was established in 2017 as a joint venture between BW LPG Limited and Global United Shipping India Private Limited, to own and operate India-flagged Very Large Gas Carriers or VLGCs to ship LPG within Indian waters. BW LPG India is technically managed by Synergy Group, and commercially and operationally managed by Synergy Group and BW LPG.
Rapid expansion of LPG VLGC fleet
From a modest beginning of 2 LPG vessels, our fleet expanded rapidly in the first five years. Buoyed by strong demand, our fleet has grown to comprise 7 world-class, India-flagged Very Large Gas Carriers in 2022.
We provide safe, flexible and reliable LPG shipping services with our fleet of India-flagged VLGCs. See what we do.
BW LPG India is a subsidiary of BW LPG, an established LPG shipping company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Read more.
Our work is aligned with the India Government’s “Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana” and “AtmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan” scheme. Accordingly, our fleet of eight LPG vessels ship LPG into the country safely and efficiently.
We employ over 300 Indian employees, and provide families with job security and a good standard of living. Our seafarers in particular were given added financial and mental wellness support during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Our fleet increases Indian shipping tonnage by approximately 400,000 MT. We have plans to further expand our fleet and deliver even better service to customers.
We remitted ~US$14 Million (INR 110 Crores) in 2021-2022, towards Goods & Services Tax. We also brought in Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) of >US$70 Million (~INR 525 Crores) since 2017. These taxes and investments help contribute towards nation-building.
Since 2021, we have committed over US$300,000 to sponsor the education of female cadets at the Indian Maritime University; to support ProtoVillage as it improves rural resilience; and to Nourishing Schools Foundation as they help children take charge of their nutrition. And we will do more.
