Our people

What makes BW stand out is our people. Through fostering an inclusive and creative work environment onboard and ashore, our employees are motivated to collaborate and innovate across technical, operations and commercial teams, unleashing the full potential of our combined competence and talent. Clients can expect our employees to be solution-oriented people who are empowered and accountable.

Do look out for trainee opportunities! I started off as a Maritime Trainee in the Maritime Trainee programme organized by the Norwegian Seafarer’s Association after my master’s degree. As part of the programme, I had the opportunity to rotate between more than 10 different departments within BW LNG, and this was a priceless experience that helped kickstart my career.

Words of encouragement for anyone looking to embark on a career at BW LNG:
Over the next 5 to 10 years, we will see a big change in the shipping industry. On one hand, we are under pressure to reduce our vessels’ impact on the local and global environment, which means many new technology will need to be developed and deployed. On the other hand, a large portion of global shipping is about transporting carbon-based fuels, which will also need to change at some point. Hence, the shipping industry will need to go through some significant development and learning, making the industry even more interesting and rewarding to work in.

At first, seafaring is often tough, lonely, and arduous, so you need to be steadfast and focused on your goals. However, as you progress and overcome those hurdles along the way, it becomes a very rewarding and fulfilling career. All in all, it’s priceless. The satisfaction you get after braving the high seas and succeeding at this very different career is something no one can take away.

Human Rights

BW is committed to meeting its responsibility to respect human rights and decent working conditions and to upholding human rights throughout all its business operations, regardless of the countries in which they are conducted. Furthermore, consistent with its governing principles, BW anticipates full compliance with these standards from all entities and partners within its supply chain.

BW supports internationally recognised human rights standards, including those set out in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. BW firmly opposes human slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour and torture. BW also embraces a Zero-Harm safety vision, through which it strives to create the safest work environment possible for every employee, both onshore and at sea.

In addition, BW complies with applicable laws and regulations in the countries in which it operates, including the Norwegian Transparency Act (NTA). Implemented by Norway in 2022. the NTA requires companies that meet certain threshold requirements to comply with fundamental human rights, implement decent working conditions throughout their supply chain and report on such to their stakeholders. In response to this legislative movement and to ensure continued alignment with its corporate values, BW has reviewed the approach it takes towards human rights in its own operations and supply chain.
