Some believed that Rolls-Royce could combine Bergen and Mtu to create a large CHP and commercial marine hub. An ambitious idea, which would have required investments to harmonise and integrate the two portfolios.
However, first the marine engines business was sold to Kongsberg, and now the Bergen Engines medium speed gas and diesel engines business. The buyer is TMH International, the international branch of TMH Group, for net proceeds of approximately EUR 150m.
