Malaysia’s first offshore supply vessel (OSV) will be designed in accordance with classification society American Bureau of Shipping’s rules. The vessel will feature an innovative battery system to reduce its carbon footprint and operational expenses. The strategic partnership includes three shipbuilding and ship repair companies in Malaysia: Grade One Marine Shipyard, Muhibbah Marine Engineering and Shin Yang Shipyard. “Because the sustainability challenge is too big for any one company to meet on its own, we encourage collaborations such as this in Malaysia to reach our shared goals,” said Pier Carazzai, ABS Vice President of Regional Business Development.
