Maritime solutions and services provider MISC has taken delivery of two new generation liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers from Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI).
Named Seri Damai and Seri Daya, the new 174,000m³ vessels feature smart and sustainable technologies.

The new vessels will be operated under long-term charter agreements for ExxonMobil’s wholly-owned subsidiary SeaRiver Maritime.
Eaglestar Shipmanagement will manage both the new LNG carriers.
To lower the boil-off rate to 0.07% of cargo volume per day, the LNG carriers have enhanced cargo tank insulation from the GTT Mark-III Flex PLUS cargo containment system.
Featuring WinGD X-DF propulsion, the vessels are in line with the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) Tier-III emission standards.
