MISC Group (MISC) has named its two new generation LNG carriers, ‘Seri Dian’ and ‘Seri Dayang’, which further strengthens its long-standing partnership with SeaRiver Maritime (SRM), a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil.
Constructed by Hanwha Ocean, the 174,000m3 LNG carriers are equipped with smart and energy-efficient technologies, including the intelligent control by exhaust recycling (ICER) system and an enhanced cargo containment system with reduced boil-off rates to improve efficiency and support safer operations.
The names Seri Dian and Seri Dayang continue MISC’s Seri naming tradition, which reflects distinction, heritage, and the enduring spirit of Malaysia’s maritime excellence. Dian signifies radiant brilliance, while Dayang represents elegance and grace.
Zahid Osman, President and Group CEO, MISC said: “The naming of Seri Dian and Seri Dayang marks another important step forward in how we are delivering progress at MISC driven by disciplined growth and operational excellence in delivering energy safely, reliably and efficiently. Our partnership with SeaRiver Maritime continues to exemplify this approach. Built on a strong foundation of trust and performance, it demonstrates how purposeful collaboration enables us to turn shared ambition into meaningful action. The smooth management of this project has contributed to a cumulative two million safe manhours on 30 March 2026, with zero lost time Injury and bears testament that when people come first, performance follows. These two magnificent vessels will carry that promise of safety and excellence across the world’s oceans for many years to come.”
