MISC Group has named two new LNG carriers, Seri Dian and Seri Dayang, as the company expands its long-standing partnership with SeaRiver Maritime LLC (SRM), a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil.
The naming ceremony took place on 7 May 2026 and marks the addition of two 174,000 cubic metre LNG carriers built by Hanwha Ocean Co., Ltd.
The vessels are equipped with a range of energy-efficiency and operational technologies, including the Intelligent Control by Exhaust Recycling (ICER) system and an enhanced cargo containment system designed to reduce boil-off rates and improve operational safety.
The names continue MISC’s longstanding “Seri” naming tradition. According to the company, “Dian” symbolises radiant brilliance, while “Dayang” represents elegance and grace.

“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 naming ceremony was attended by representatives from ExxonMobil, SeaRiver Maritime, Hanwha Ocean, classification society Lloyd’s Register, and senior management from across the MISC Group. Mrs. Hanh Nguyen served as Lady Sponsor for both vessels.
With the addition of Seri Dian and Seri Dayang, MISC now operates four LNG carriers under long-term time charter with SeaRiver Maritime.
