Feb 28 (LNGJ) - Malaysian International Shipping Corp. has taken delivery of the LNG carrier “Seri Camar”, the fourth in a series of five vessels with Moss-type storage tanks. The 150,200 cubic metres capacity carrier was built at Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea and benefits from an Integrated Hull Structure (IHS) with four spherical tanks shielded by a continuous cover, fortifying the vessel to allow for operation in even the harshest marine environments. Owned by MISC and chartered to state energy company Petronas, the Malaysian-flagged vessel was delivered at a naming ceremony held at the HHI yard in the Korean port of Ulsan. “We’re proud to celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, growing from strength to strength to become one of the leading global providers of energy related maritime solutions and services,” said MISC President and Chief Executive Yee Yang Chien.
