PG Marine Group

PG Marine Group, also known as Ing Per Gjerdrum AS, is a Norwegian family-owned marine engineering and equipment company founded in 1982 by Per Gjerdrum. The business began as a supplier of pumps to Norway’s maritime sector and later developed into a designer and supplier of cargo-handling systems for offshore supply vessels. This evolution reflects the broader technical requirements of offshore support operations, in which vessels need integrated systems for loading, unloading, transfer, and handling of cargo and fluids in demanding marine environments. The group’s activities have included cargo-handling solutions and equipment associated with offshore vessels. One identified product family is PG-MACS, described in reference material as a cargo-handling system. The company has also been associated with pump supply and, through related company websites listed in reference material, hydraulic and construction activities. The available sources do not establish the full current structure of these activities, so the relationship between every named business and the PG Marine Group brand should be treated cautiously. PG Marine Group is controlled by the Gjerdrum, Norum, and Eide families. Its commercial development has included international expansion beyond Norway, with significant exports reported to Brazil, China, Singapore, and European markets. The reference material characterizes the company as a market leader in these areas, although it does not provide independently verifiable market-share figures or a defined time period for that description. The company’s documented project history includes two notable 2007 contracts. In cooperation with the NLI Group, PG Marine Group received a contract valued at NOK 50 million to build a chemical-injection module for the Gjøa platform. In the same year, it secured a NOK 100 million contract with German offshore company Harms Offshore to deliver a PG-MACS loading-handling system. These projects illustrate the company’s role as an engineering and systems supplier to offshore production and support-vessel markets. Publicly available reference material is limited. It does not clearly identify the company’s present headquarters, current executives, current ownership percentages, financial performance, or present operating status. Accordingly, this entry describes the documented historical business scope without assuming that all reported products, contracts, or market positions remain current.

PG Marine Group is identified in reference material by its legal name, Ing Per Gjerdrum AS. The company was founded in Norway in 1982 by Per Gjerdrum and remains associated with family ownership by the Gjerdrum, Norum, and Eide families. Its initial business was the supply of pumps to the Norwegian maritime market, giving it a starting position in marine equipment rather than in vessel operation or shipbuilding. Over time, the company broadened its activities from pump supply into marine engineering and the design and supply of cargo-handling systems for offshore supply vessels. These vessels support offshore installations and require equipment capable of moving and managing cargo in operationally difficult conditions. PG Marine Group’s development therefore centered on specialized systems rather than on a single commodity product. The company’s documented scope includes cargo-handling equipment, loading-handling systems, and chemical-injection modules, while related reference links also point to hydraulic and construction activities connected with the broader business presence. The company’s international business became significant as it exported beyond Norway. The markets specifically identified in the available material are Brazil, China, Singapore, and Europe. The source describes PG as a dominant market leader in those markets, but does not define the relevant product category, market-share methodology, or period. That characterization should consequently be understood as a historical description rather than as a verified current ranking. Two contracts from 2007 provide the clearest documented evidence of the company’s project activity. In partnership with the NLI Group, PG Marine Group was awarded a NOK 50 million contract to build a chemical-injection module for the Gjøa platform. Chemical-injection equipment is used in offshore production environments to introduce chemicals into process or support systems, although the available source does not provide further technical specifications for this particular module. Later in 2007, the company secured a reported NOK 100 million contract with Harms Offshore in Germany to deliver a PG-MACS loading-handling system. This contract placed the company’s named cargo-handling product in an international offshore-vessel project. The available reference material does not provide a complete chronology after 2007. It also does not establish the current leadership team, exact headquarters, present ownership percentages, recent contracts, revenue, or whether all historical product lines remain active. The company should therefore be understood primarily through its documented origins, family ownership, maritime equipment roots, offshore cargo-handling specialization, and international project work.
