BRUNEI Gas Carriers Sdn Bhd (BGC) yesterday held a Promotion Ceremony at their main office in Jerudong to officiate the promotion of the company’s third liquefied natural gas (LNG) Chief Engineer.
The ceremony saw Managing Director of BGC, John Cook, presenting the insignia to Pengiran Shahirul Shaimee bin Pengiran Haji Daud, BGC’s third Chief Engineer.
Witnessing the auspicious event were Pengiran Shahirul Shaimee’s family members and BGC management.
With this important milestone, BGC now has two local captains and three chief engineers as of 2017 amongst the ranks.
BGC’s Cadetship Programme is one of the initiatives of BGC to realise its objective to create opportunities for young Bruneians to pursue their aspiration to be part of the oil and gas industry, especially in the area of LNG transportation.
The main objective of the programme is to have an LNG Fleet fully manned by Bruneians by 2020, which is in line with the mission in which BGC strives to continuously set the benchmark for local mariners and engineers who will be the backbone of Brunei’s marine industry.
BGC believes and recognises the importance of skilled talent to deal with the country’s economic product – LNG. With that in mind, BGC continues to invest in educating the youths and to supply high-quality marine officers from all ranks to work on board their vessels.
BGC employs 100 per cent Bruneians for its onshore operations and BGC’s ships are currently manned by a fully trained crew where 85 per cent are Bruneians.
