MISC BHD (MISC)

MISC Berhad - Malaysia's Shipping Giant

MISC Berhad (Bursa: 3816) is Malaysia's largest shipping and maritime solutions company, and one of the world's largest operators in the LNG carrier segment. Incorporated in 1968 as Malaysian International Shipping Corporation, MISC is today approximately 62% owned by PETRONAS - making it a GLC (Government-Linked Company) with formidable corporate backing.

With a market cap of ~RM34.4 billion and a fleet of over 120 vessels totalling 13 million DWT, MISC operates across four complementary core segments. The company is Shariah-compliant (certified by the Securities Commission Malaysia) - a key advantage for investors who prioritise halal investing. ✅

Four Business Segments

Leadership

MISC is led by Datuk Yee Yang Chien as President & Group CEO since 2020. Under his leadership, MISC launched the MISC2030 strategy - a long-term transformation plan targeting 50% growth in operating cash flow (OCF) versus the 2022 baseline (RM5.7 billion). This vision covers expanding the fleet from 107 to 150 vessels, entering new segments such as Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs), and optimising the offshore asset portfolio.

GLC status under PETRONAS gives MISC privileged access to major contracts, a creditworthy reputation in international markets, and the ability to secure financing at competitive rates. This is a structural competitive advantage that private-sector rivals find difficult to replicate. 📈

⚠️ Note: The MHE segment is going through a wind-down phase as major projects near completion. A large RM735.5 million impairment was recorded in Q4 2024 - this is a one-off charge, not a sign of core operational deterioration.
