As of 31^st October 2022, HEDINN will promote Bergen Engines for new engine sales, sell spare parts and perform maintenance services for Bergen’s marine customers in Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.

Rögnvaldur Höskuldsson, Head of Marine Department at HEDINN, sees this agreement as a significant vote of confidence from Bergen Engines: “HEDINN knows Bergen Engines well as we have been servicing these engines since 1985 here in Iceland under the name Bergen Diesel and Rolls-Royce. Now our area is expanding as Greenland and the Faroe Islands come into our service, and we are very proud and delighted to have made an agreement with Bergen Engines for sale and service of their world class engines.”

Regarding the latest partnership of Bergen Engines and HEDINN, Kjell Harloff, Head of Sales – Marine at Bergen Engines, said: “It is with pleasure that we now can announce the sales and service agreement between HEDINN and Bergen Engines. This will be especially important for the huge number of fishing vessels operating here.

About Bergen Engines

Bergen Engines produces medium-speed liquid and gas fueled engines and generator sets for a broad range of land-based, commercial marine, and naval applications. 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 its first diesel engine and has since commissioned over 7,500 of its iconic liquid and gas fueled engines. Around half of them are still in operation today; such is the quality and reliability of a Bergen engine.

From 1999, Bergen Engines AS was owned by the British aerospace and defense group, Rolls-Royce plc. On 31st December 2021, the company was acquired from Rolls-Royce by the family-owned engineering and industrial group, Langley Holdings plc, and is now part of the Power Solutions division.
