It was once a part of Rolls-Royce Marine, but in July 2013,[2] it was absorbed into Tognum after that company had become a joint venture between Daimler AG and Rolls-Royce plc.

Bergen Mekaniske Verksted (BMV), a shipbuilding company, was the company's original name when it was founded in Bergen, Norway, in 1855. The building had a machine shop, a foundry, a forge, and a dry dock where ships and the steam engines that propelled them could be built. BMV started their diesel engine section in 1942, but World War II delayed the completion of a design until 1946. Engines were delivered to the ships MS Draupne and MS Arcturus in 1946 and 1947, respectively. The diesel engine section was separated out into its own business, BMV Maskin AS, in 1984. The following year, Ulstein bought it and changed the name to Bergen Diesel AS.

Vickers plc purchased Ulstein Group in 1999; the following year, Rolls-Royce purchased Vickers. Every Ulstein division was then renamed to Rolls-Royce Marine, with Bergen Diesel becoming Rolls-Royce Marine Engines - Bergen.

Rolls-Royce and Daimler began an acquisition attempt for Tognum in March 2011.[5] On June 24, 2011, the two businesses stated that their joint tender offer of €3.4 billion had been accepted by 94% of Tognum shareholders. The purchase of the Daimler portion of Tognum by Rolls-Royce, which would later become Rolls-Royce Power Systems, was announced in March 2014.
