Pioneering Engine Technology
Bergen Engines is one of Norway’s most important industries for the future with a key role in the transition to “net zero”
Pioneering reciprocating engine technology, we work to deliver clean, safe and competitive power and propulsion solutions for our customers worldwide.
Bergen Engines has been delivering reciprocating medium-speed engines for marine and land applications for more than 75 years, starting as a supplier of propulsion engines to the Norwegian fishermen in the 1940s. 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.
Efficient power solutions have never been more important. In addition to reducing emissions, the world also has a need of more power, both due to economic growth and electrification. In Bergen Engines, we are committed to play a part of the solution.
