Bergen Engines produces medium-speed 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 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. Formerly Rolls-Royce Bergen Engines, on 31st December 2021, the company became part of the privately owned British engineering group, Langley Holdings plc Today, the business employs more than 900 people across the world from their Norwegian headquarter and nine subsidiary offices.

#NewOrder: We are thrilled to announce that Bergen Engines and Sampol have signed a deal with Roatan Electric Company - RECO to deliver a 25MW power plant to the beautiful island of Roatán, Honduras. 🏝☀ The heart of the new project will be three Bergen B36:45V20 generator sets operating on #propane, which offer a market-leading output and only 25% derate compared to natural gas. “This investment contributes to the economic growth and development of the island of #Roatán, Bay Islands. Most Caribbean islands have diesel-powered plants, but with our vision to be a pioneer in the market, this technology positions us as a leader and represents a model for the electrical industry in the region." - Ramiro Tumbaco, General Manager of RECO. 🌎⚡ #CaribbeanEnergy #Honduras #MediumSpeed #PowerGeneration
A 2020 survey of over 800 #DataCenters found that 78% experienced at least one outage in the prior three years, with over half incurring costs greater than USD $100,000. 💸 As traditional power grids struggle to meet the growing demands of #AI, there is an urgent need for independent power generation that can disconnect from the utility grid and provide power on-site. The Langley Holdings Plc Power Solutions Division, comprising of Bergen Engines, Marelli Motori, and Piller Power Systems, develops hybrid-renewable microgrids in a modular system which eliminates the need for UPS and backup generators. Infinitely scalable, The #PowerOf10 allows data center operators to expand their microgrids in 10MW increments as their demand grows. Join us at Data Centre World Frankfurt this week on stand D81 as we share more about this solution, and how modular on-site power generation can shape a greener future for data centers. 💻🌳☀
#NewOrder: Today, Bergen Engines is proud to announce our latest contract with the Oben Group to supply two B35:40V20 engines to power facilities in #Lima, Peru and #Barranquilla, Colombia. 🎉 Oben Group, experienced with various reciprocating technologies, chose Bergen’s medium-speed (720rpm) offering due to its superior efficiency, durability, and lower service costs. These engines offer reduced fuel consumption compared to high-speed alternatives, making them both cost-effective and environmentally friendly for continuous power applications. Theodore Lorentzos, Head of Sales - Americas for Bergen Engines said, "We extend our gratitude to Oben Group for entrusting us with the expansion of their power needs in both Colombia and Perú. Oben’s purpose is to produce #sustainable solutions to drive food safely to the world, and we look forward to supporting this with efficient electricity and meeting the thermal energy demand their manufacturing processes require, around the clock.” 💪🏻⚡ Read more about the project below: https://lnkd.in/drgSJ6BY
#NewOrder: Bergen Engines is set to provide four C25:33L8A generating sets to support the world’s largest hydrogen ferries, operating on Norway’s longest ferry connection from Bodø to Lofoten.
