LPG Shipping
Delivering cleaner-burning energy for India
Safe, efficient maritime transportation
At BW LPG India, we are committed to growing our presence in India. India is the world’s second largest importer of LPG, and long-term trends together with strong government support for the use of LPG are expected to support growing domestic demand.
Retail demand for LPG in India continues to grow. Significant infrastructure investments into new pipelines, port expansions and storage facilities have encouraged high LPG imports. The country’s investments in propane dehydrogenation plants also bodes well for potential LPG import demand for the petrochemical sector. We champion the safe and efficient delivery of liquefied petroleum gas or LPG, and aim to be our customers’ preferred shipping partner with our strengths.
