Note du spécialiste


Burmeister & Wain was a Danish shipyard and leading diesel engine producer founded by two Danes and an Englishman in 1865 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company grew very successfully through the end of the 1960s before competition, particularly from the Far East, forced the company to go into partnership with the German corporation MAN AG. In 1980, B&W became MAN B&W Diesel A/S, part of MAN B&W Diesel Group, a subsidiary of MAN AG, with operations worldwide. The company still maintains operations at three main sites in Denmark for manufacturing, servicing, and licensing of its two-stroke engines and complete propulsion systems.
