MISC (MISC or the Group) today welcomes two of its latest new generation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers, Seri Damai and Seri Daya to its fleet of LNG carriers.

These 174,000 CBM LNG carriers are equipped with smart and sustainable technologies and were built for MISC by Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (SHI). Upon their delivery, these new LNG carriers will be on long-term charters to ExxonMobil's wholly-owned subsidiary, SeaRiver Maritime LLC (SRM) and will be managed by Eaglestar Shipmanagenent (S) Pte.Ltd ( Eaglestar).

Captain Rajalingam Subramaniam, MISC's President & Group Chief Executive Officer, said 'The delivery of Seri Damai and Seri Daya today, marks a strong start to the year and a significant milestone in MISC's partnership with SeaRiver Maritime. I would like to thank our valued charterer, SeaRiver Maritime for their trust and confidence in our capabilities.

'My appreciation goes out to our shipbuilder, Samsung Heavy Industries, in-house Project Management team from Eaglestar, Gas Assets & Solutions (GAS) Business team, Class Society ABS and all partners and collaborators involved in the safe construction of this state- of-the-art LNG carriers. To our marine professionals serving onboard these vessels, Bon Voyage - fair winds and following seas always,' Captain Rajalingam added.

'The Seri Daya and Seri Damai represent another major milestone in the valued relationship between SeaRiver Maritime, MISC Berhad, and Samsung Heavy Industries Shipyard,' said Mr. Kostelnik, President & CEO of SeaRiver Maritime, Inc., 'This is a step forward in supporting a net-zero future as we add modern, energy-efficient LNG carriers to support ExxonMobil's growing LNG business.'

Seri Damai and Seri Daya will now add on to the fleet strength, which currently totals to a count of 31 LNG carriers for MISC's GAS Business, in addition to six Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs) and two LNG Floating Storage Units (FSUs), which has a combined deadweight tonnage (dwt) capacity of over two million tonnes.

Information about Seri Damai and Seri Daya

Seri Damai and Seri Daya feature advanced technology to cater to the growing needs for safe, reliable and energy-efficient solutions in the transportation of LNG. The LNG carriers have enhanced cargo tank insulation with the GTT Mark-III Flex PLUS cargo containment system which reduces the boil-off rate to 0.07% of cargo volume per day for improved efficiency.

Powered by WinGD X-DF propulsion, the vessels fulfill the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Tier-III emission requirements without any external exhaust gas after-treatment system. It also complies with the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) standard while the eco- efficient vessels are also certified with ENVIRO Notation, a voluntary adoption of integrating ABS requirements with international conventions for environmental protection. These requirements include, principally, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention (BWM Convention) and the Hong Kong Convention (for the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships).

At the forefront of digital and smart shipping technology, Seri Damai and Seri Daya utilise the Samsung SVESSEL technology for enhanced safety and efficiency through remote monitoring of vessel performance and operations.
