ABOUT
Bergen Engines produces medium-speed liquid and gas fueled engines and generator sets for a broad range of applications, on land and at sea.
The Bergen name is a watchword for quality and reliability in its field. The tradition of engineering in Bergen, Norway, dates to 1855 when the original company Bergen Mekaniske Verksted (BMV) was founded. In 1946, the company built their first diesel engine, starting as a supplier of propulsion engines to the Norwegian fishing industry. Since then, Bergen Engines has commissioned over 7700 engines in which around half of them are still in operation today.
The company expanded rapidly with the discovery of oil and gas in the North Sea, as the demand for special purpose vessels and oil rig generating sets skyrocketed from the 70s and onwards. We pioneered the development of the modern lean-burn gas engine technology and delivered the first gas engine for power generation to a Danish customer already back in 1991. This gas engine is still in operation and has clocked nearly 130.000 running hours, a proof of the quality and high reliability of our products. Our lean-burn concept has been developed and fine-tuned ever since, with high focus on increasing the efficiency while reducing emissions to a minimum.
Formerly Rolls-Royce Bergen Engines, on 31st December 2021, the company became part of the privately owned British engineering group, Langley Holdings plc.
