BW LPG has called Dorian LPG to the negotiating table just a couple of weeks after the world’s second largest VLGC owner rejected a takeover offer from the market leader.

Oslo-listed BW LPG today released an open letter to Dorian restating its interest in a combination of the two companies it describes as a "unique opportunity".

Andreas Sohmen-Pao’s BW Group has been an investor in Dorian for several years and tabled a share for share proposal at the end of May.
