Tracing its origins to the iconic Norwegian shipyard, Bergens Mekaniske Verksted, in 1855, Bergen Engines became a pure engine manufacturer in 1943 and delivered its first engine in 1946. Initially, the company excelled at making robust marine diesel engines for coastal ships and fishing vessels operating in the harsh North Atlantic conditions. In the following decades, they started making medium-speed engines suited to larger vessels and multiple applications. Bergen would go on to build a new manufacturing unit in 1971, after which, it went through ownership changes from Ulstein to Rolls-Royce to Langley Holdings. But the one thing that remained consistent was their commitment to engineering innovation – producing the world’s first lean burn gas engine in 1991 – and with that their ability to produce extremely durable and robust medium-speed gas engines – from the iconic K-gas engines to the new series of gas engines such as B35:40 and B33:45. 

A testament to Bergen’s everlasting durability is the fact that over half of the medium speed gas engines that Bergen had built since 1946 were still in service in the mid 2010s.
