§Winston Score History

The full picture

BW LPG Limited is one of the world's largest owners and operators of very large gas carriers (VLGCs), the massive ships used to transport liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) — which includes propane and butane — across oceans. Its main customers are energy companies, commodity traders, and petrochemical producers who need to move LPG from export hubs like the United States and Middle East to markets in Asia and Europe. The company is a major player in the VLGC segment, which is a specialized corner of the global shipping industry.

BW LPG earns money by charging customers to use its fleet, either through long-term contracts or shorter spot-market rates that change with supply and demand. The company operates globally, with a fleet of around 40 VLGCs, and has expanded into LPG trading through its product services division, adding another revenue stream. Its main risk is exposure to volatile freight rates, which can swing sharply depending on global LPG trade volumes, vessel supply, and energy market conditions.
