Talk:Navigator Gas

Add new section 'Merger with Ultragas ApS (2021-)

• What I think should be changed:

I would like to add information about a merger that occurred in 2021, and would suggest the following text:

On April 12, 2021 Navigator Holdings Ltd announced its intention to merge the Ultragas ApS[20] fleet and business into Navigator Gas. This transaction was completed on August 4 of the same year, resulting in larger combined fleet of 56 vessels, five principal office locations and a 50% ownership stake in the world's largest ethylene export terminal located at Morgan's Point, Texas.

From 1960 to 2021, Ultragas ApS had been in gas tanker shipping and until its merger with Navigator Gas, it was a leading provider of marine transportation of liquefied petroleum and petrochemical gases in the small and handysize segments. Ultragas owned and operated a modern fleet of 18 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Carriers, commercially managed from an office in Gentofte (northern suburbs of Copenhagen). The vessels were technically managed by UltraShip ApS; a 100% owned subsidiary which ceased trading upon the merger with Navigator Gas.

• Why it should be changed:

This is a significant event in the company's history and is not presently reflected in the article. Please note that I (mistakenly) added this edit myself. However, as a very new user to Wikipedia, I learned that as an employee of the company, I should not make edits to my company's entry directly, and instead request the edit using this method.

 Not Done: The way this request is worded is clearly promotional in intent (e.g. "larger combined fleet", "world's largest", "leading provider", "modern fleet", etc).

Please note, there is absolutely no place on Wikipedia for any kind of promotional material (see WP:PROMO for details).

The article is already tagged as reading like an advert, plus it has a shortage of sources, and large sections are borderline unreadable in their current form.

I'd suggest working on those issues before attempting to add even more promotional text into the article. Axad12 (talk) 19:15, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. @Axad12. Whilst the intent was certainly not to be promotional, we will take steps to improve the content as far as we can. AlexWalsterNVGS (talk) 12:18, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
