Brunei Gas Carriers (BGC) in collaboration with RIPAS Blood Bank and McDonald’s Brunei successfully carried out its blood donation drive in two McDonald’s branches, Jerudong and Lambak Kanan.

In addressing the need to replenish the blood bank’s supply, BGC organised a 3-weeks campaign on social media to invite prospective donors to donate at the McDonald’s branches.

BGC during the campaign managed to secure 120 slots of bookings from the public and was able to acquire a number of walk-in donors during the donation drive. In total, BGC recorded 176 successful donors and 72 unsuccessful donors. This feat would not have been possible without the support from the public – we wish to express our sincerest gratitude for your contributions in supporting the blood donation drive this year. Thank you!

BGC would also like to thank its partners RIPAS Blood Bank and McDonald’s Brunei for their continued support in organising this important cause. We encourage the public to donate blood more regularly and help to replenish the shortage in blood supply in the country.

Give Blood. Save Lives.

Brunei Gas Carriers (BGC) recognise that carbon management is essential to counter the climate change implications of the world’s energy use. As Brunei’s leading Deepwater shipping company we play our part through improvements of our operational energy efficiency and adoption of compliant technologies.

Last week, BGC in collaboration with Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) and Brunei LNG (BLNG) participated in the launch of the Energy-themed week held under the Brunei Mid-Year Conference & Exhibition (MYCE) 2021. Headlined “Energy Transition: Towards a Sustainable Future”, the week-long event aims to raise awareness on energy-efficiency, and share key initiatives to reduce Brunei’s carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.

At the BGC booth, BGC’s 3rd Officers, Nurul Siti Shahrinah Binti Shahrolwardi and Ahmad Wafri Izzat Bin Zainal Arshad, shared important insights on the propulsion systems deployed on 4 of BGC’s vessels, called Dual Fuel Diesel Electric Engines (DFDE). All four vessels are powered by DFDE engines which run on LNG as the main fuel, thereby producing lower and cleaner emissions.

During the launching ceremony, BGC, led by the Managing Director, Pg Shamhary Pg Dato Haji Mustapha, welcomed the visit from the Guest of Honours, Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Dr. Awang Haji Mat Suny Bin Haji Mohd Hussein, Minister of Energy and Industry, and Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Ali Bin Apong, Minister Of Primary Resources And Tourism, and spoke about BGC’s commitment on lowering carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, and adopting modern solutions to support Brunei Darussalam’s aspirations of achieving carbon neutrality.

Brunei Gas Carriers (BGC) is delighted to announce that its final Hari Raya ship visit with families was completed on 2nd June 2021. Joining the delegation was a total of 10 spouses accompanied by representatives from the Human Resources and Communications team.

Upon arriving onboard BGC’s Amali vessel, the spouses were greeted by cheerful waves of excitement as the seafarers grinned from ear-to-ear, welcoming the arrival of their families. Captain Davor extended a warm welcome to all spouses before proceeding with a safety briefing and a short introduction of Amali.

At the start of the tour, the spouses were taken to the mess room where everyone gathered to enjoy the Hari Raya festivities. A sudden flurry of emotions immediately swept the room as the families embraced one another, with some couples turning to make video calls with their respective children back onshore. It was truly a memorable moment for the families, as for the first time, the spouses could witness the life that their husbands led aboard the vessel whilst being fortunate to celebrate the festivities together this year.

Enjoy our short video highlights capturing the beautiful moments of our seafarers reuniting with their families. We wish to extend once again our utmost appreciation to all the family members for the unconditional support and cooperation in upholding safety throughout the visit. And we would once again like to thank Brunei LNG for the warm welcome and for accommodating our visit yesterday.
