Malaysia’s MISC has secured agreements with Exxon Mobil’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SeaRiver Maritime, for 15-year time charter contracts for two of its LNG carriers.

The 174,000 cu m ships are currently under construction at Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea for delivery in early 2023.

MISC’s president Yee Yang Chien commented: “This is certainly a landmark moment for MISC, and we are proud to expand this strategic partnership with ExxonMobil through SeaRiver in providing best-in-class shipping solutions, beginning with petroleum and now LNG.”

Financial details of the charter have not been revealed.
