Chairman's Message

Dear Stakeholders,

In 2023, MISC continued to face a vulnerable landscape with a combined threat of geopolitical conflicts, inflation, energy security and climate crisis. Geopolitical tensions disrupted supply chains and escalated costs, compounded by the rapid energy transition and lingering impacts of the pandemic. Despite these challenges, as a leader in the shipping industry, we have demonstrated our ability to adapt and lead with agility and foresight. Our approach during these uncertain times is to remain steadfast in our performance and delivery. We recognise these challenges as opportunities to emerge as an industry leader in a low-carbon economy, while ensuring that we continue to meet current energy demands. By balancing our core energy business with low-carbon ventures, we strive to forge a path towards a more resilient future, benefitting both our business and the communities we serve.

DATUK ABU HURAIRA ABU YAZID

Chairman

President/Group Chief Executive Officer’s Message

Dear Stakeholders,

2023 was a dynamic year. Recent times have unveiled challenges of unprecedented scale, from the impacts of COVID-19, worsening geopolitical tensions to society’s intensifying demand to accelerate the energy transition. In 2023 these challenges prompted a critical reflection – how do we translate our ambition into action?

This year has been a testament to such perspective, signifying a pivotal period of strategic recalibration and operational advancement for MISC, as we forge ahead in the shift from emissions to solutions. A year where we have again shown resiliency as a team.

CAPTAIN RAJALINGAM SUBRAMANIAM

President/Group Chief Executive Officer

Vice President’s Message Corporate Planning & Group Finance

Dear Stakeholders,

In the context of our industry’s constantly evolving landscape, the Group faced various challenges that arose from macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. The uncertainties stemming from the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts amidst an unfavourable global interest rate environment, continue to cast a shadow over the global economic landscape. At MISC, we remain committed in transitioning towards the clean energy sector, leveraging on our core strengths in project delivery and asset optimisation to drive growth.

Trade-offs

F

Financial Capital

  • Majority of our capital is allocated towards operating and maintaining our fleet, ongoing project requirements, new CAPEX investments and purchasing new assets
  • While CAPEX allocations reduce our financial capital in the short-term, they build our physical capital base for longer term growth
  • Our long-term customer contracts for newbuild and purchased assets ensure secured income streams, thus growing our financial capital into the future
  • Investment in digitalisation and innovation initiatives to drive operational and organisational efficiencies has reduced our financial capital in the short-term but will enhance our intellectual capital in the long-term

P

Physical Capital

  • Our capital mainly consists of our vessel fleet, floating assets, yards and infrastructure. We focus on investments in eco-friendly newbuilds with lower emissions, to provide greener shipping solutions and enhance our natural capital
  • We are providing customers with an eco-friendly fleet, improved efficiency and safety measures. This enhancement boosts our social and relationship capital
  • We reduce obsolete physical capital by disposing older assets through green ship recycling initiatives. This positively impacts our natural capital and aligns with energy transition and climate change imperatives for sustainable long-term growth

H

Human Capital

  • Our human capital, including capabilities, skills and knowledge, drives our intellectual capital. We invest our financial capital in human capital through talent development programmes and strategic human capital management aligned with our business plans
  • The short-term reduction of our financial capital to sustain our human capital enables us to strengthen the capabilities of our workforce to respond to clients’ needs and exceed customer expectations, thus building our social and relationship capital in the long-run

SR

Social and Relationship Capital

  • We invest financial capital in stakeholder engagements conducted by our employees, which impact our human capital through the manhours spent. The expenses associated with engagements reduce short-term financial capital; however, in the long-term they enable growth of social and relationship capital, ensure compliance with legal requirements, pave the way for sustainable future growth and maintain industry reputation
  • We undertake industry collaborations focusing on zero-emission vessels
  • Our community-based environmental programmes positively impact our natural capital
  • The growth of our social and relationship capital ultimately contributes to increasing our financial capital as we maintain and expand our customer base

I

Intellectual Capital

  • We invest financial capital to drive our intellectual capital by rejuvenating our fleet with the latest technologies, which improves our natural capital through a lower emission fleet and enhance human capital through new skills while boosting our social and relationship capital from improved customer satisfaction
  • In the short-term, our financial capital is reduced with investment in technical solutions for floating assets, new technologies for port management, vessel inspections and yard operations. In the long-run, the investment will boost our intellectual capital across our maritime value chain

N

Natural Capital

  • Our physical capital’s emissions and waste have a negative impact on our natural capital. Towards improving our natural capital and in line with energy transition, climate change and industry decarbonisation, we established MISC’s 2030 Aspiration and commitment towards Net-Zero GHG emissions aligning with the MISC 2050 Vision
  • Efforts towards improving our natural capital will reduce our financial capital in the shorter term and impact on our human, intellectual and physical capitals. Improvement of natural capital will heighten our social and relationship capital, as MISC commits to a sustainable future
