Strategic Profile
Pro stress-test →Between 2019 and 2024, MISC Berhad transitioned from a conventional energy shipping company into a forward-looking provider of sustainable maritime and energy solutions, shaped by decarbonisation trends, the energy transition, and a strategic push toward innovation. A key milestone was the successful commissioning of the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias in Brazil, with the Offshore Business contributing about 12% of Group revenue in 2024. However, despite these strategic shifts, financial returns have yet to show meaningful improvement, with ROE in 2024 standing at 3.2%, below the 4.0% recorded in 2019.
