Nam Cheong (SGX:1MZ) has secured multi-year charter contracts worth up to 1.22 billion ringgit from regional and international oil majors, according to a Thursday filing on the Singapore Exchange.
The contracts, starting in 2025, span three years with extension options, covering 12 vessels, or one-third of Nam Cheong's fleet.
Nam Cheong said the deal bolsters its presence in Southeast Asia's oil and gas market, leveraging Sarawak's status as a key production hub with over 60% of Malaysia's reserves.
