ABOUT THE COMPANY
BW Offshore is a diversified offshore energy company, positioned for sustainable value creation in a changing energy landscape. The company is a global owner and operator of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, that over time will shift an increasing share of resources towards global energy transition opportunities.
Through continuous development and exploration of new business segments, BW Offshore has always been an industry pioneer. Executing complex projects and operating advanced production systems over the past four decades has instilled the importance of thorough engineering, trust and teamwork throughout the organisation. We have completed 40 FPSO and FSO developments and operated most of the assets after completion, building unique competencies and a very robust platform for the execution of future projects.
BW Offshore is part of a value chain that provides a safe and affordable supply of energy – an important factor for economic growth and security in both developed and developing economies.
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
For BW Offshore, the energy transition generates new opportunities, by ensuring existing fossil fuel infrastructures are operated with a minimum carbon footprint, engaging with transitional fuels (such as natural gas) and evaluating alternative clean energy sources.
We contribute to the energy transition by developing a range of solutions for offshore renewable energy production. These are complementary to our traditional FPSO activities, offering the opportunity to apply engineering, operations and business development expertise developed over more than four decades to produce clean energy in a safe and efficient manner. This includes the majority ownership in floating offshore wind developer BW Ideol.
We are looking into several other areas of renewable energy that fit well with our existing business of operating FPSOs, and where we believe we can leverage already existing capabilities within our organisation.
As a company, we are committed to efficient, reliable and compliant operations, with zero harm to people, the environment and the communities in which we operate, and we have identified four major areas to highlight our commitment to ESG:
- Safe and secure operations
- Environmentally conscious operations
- Being a non-discriminating and fair employer
- A strong governance framework
While our industry does not change drastically overnight, we are always looking to the future, and committed to confirming our purpose: to engineer offshore production solutions to progress the future of energy.
We LEAD with Integrity
CULTURE AND VALUES
BW Offshores values are summarised as ‘We LEAD with Integrity’. These values reflect who we are and how we conduct our business.
We are committed to delivering sustainable operations and long-term value creation for our stakeholders – not because this is expected by society, but because it is the right thing to do. Our values emphasise that team collaboration is the key to making a positive contribution to stakeholders and to society at large.
We maintain a strong focus on developing a culture where everyone is encouraged to treat failure as an opportunity to learn and improve, to take accountability, and to be part of solutions that keep advancing the future of energy
