BW LPG remains “absolutely motivated” to pursue a merger with Dorian LPG as it looks to create an “LPG powerhouse”.

Martin Ackermann, chief executive of Oslo-listed BW LPG, says the company has yet to hear back from Dorian eight weeks after submitting an improved bid for the company.

“We think the power of this combination would be of great benefit to our clients and I think it would provide a lot of value to stake holders,” he told TradeWinds in an interview today.
