Shipbuilding

Over the years LSE has built up an impressive track record for building innovative, quality products for sea transportation as well as for the oil, gas and energy industries.

To-date, the yard has built a wide range of vessels with increasing sophistication and complexity from fishing trawlers to chemical and clean product tankers. These include the MV Bunga Semarak and MV Bunga Santian, both of which are 16,500-DWT palm oil/chemical tankers and part of Malaysian International Shipping Corporation Bhd (MISC)’s tanker fleet. The two vessels are the largest ever built in Malaysia.

The yard also chalked up a “first” record in the building of the 97-metre self-erecting drilling tender barge Al-Baraka 1 owned by South East Asia Holdings Private Limited and the Dallah Albaraka group. This sophisticated barge, considered to be the world’s most advanced drill tender barge ever built then, was the first such vessel of this class to be constructed by a Malaysian shipyard.
