BGC currently owns four A-Class vessels (Arkat, Amali, Amani and Amadi) ranging from 147,000 m3 to 154,800 m3. As 80 percent of the company is owned by the Brunei Government, with Shell and Mitsubishi Corporation each holding a 10 percent share, BGC prides itself as a Bruneian company. BGC also supports the development of the local workforce under the Bruneianisation Programme, a strong training and competency-building programme that has produced Captains, Chief Engineers, and other essential talent, building a strong talent pool to support Brunei’s burgeoning oil and gas industry. One of BGC’s primary objectives is to manage the LNG carriers safely and reliably in accordance with the applicable standards and regulations stated under the Charter Party Agreement while protecting the personal safety and health of the people, creating an injury free workplace, and preserving the environment.
