2021 sailed by in the blink of an eye and was not exactly what we expected it to be. Challenges were aplenty but I’m sure each and every one of us has learned and changed for the better as well as gained a newfound appreciation for the little things in life. In spite of the COVID-19 situation, BGC was privileged to support a wide range of nationwide initiatives to fulfill its obligations and responsibilities in line with the national objectives, working with various Government Ministries on Brunei Darussalam’s Energy Transition, Climate Change, Brunei Darussalam’s Chairmanship of ASEAN’s Business Investment Summit and Energy Business Forum, and many more. Through such collaborative undertakings, we believe that Brunei has made significant progress in addressing a diverse range of issues related to the environment, the economy, and most importantly, the development of human capital – which were largely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, BGC continued to deliver its obligations in delivering Brunei Darussalam’s precious LNG cargoes to her customers uninterrupted, cementing our reputation as a safe and reliable transporter of LNG. With COVID-19 being one of the major disruptors to shipping in 2021, BGC like many others has had to introduce additional safe measures in order to adapt to the ever-changing landscape. The enforced adoption of technologies and new ways of working also in hindsight accelerated BGC’s progress in its digital transformation and to be more innovative. It is therefore crucial for us to embrace challenges and turn them into opportunities by strategically investing in infrastructure, organisational development, and education for the present required skillsets and future-ready skills. As we bid farewell to 2021, we at Brunei Gas Carriers (BGC) would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and safe new year ahead. We hope that you will enjoy the holiday season with your family. Please continue to observe the existing SOPs. May the new year bring joy, happiness and prosperity to all. Stay strong, stay calm, and stay safe! #bruneimaritime #bruneigascarriers #bruneishipping
