MISC Bhd has signed a second long term charter contract with Northern Lights JV DA to operate a specialised liquid carbon dioxide carrier (LCO2C). The deal supports MISC's shift from fossil fuel transport to green energy logistics, positioning the company as an early mover in the emerging carbon capture and storage market. MBSB Research estimates annual revenue from one LCO2C at roughly RM35 million to RM50 million once operational. However, the financial impact is modest relative to MISC's existing RM12.3 billion order book, with core earnings upside of less than 1.5 percent. The contract signals growing infrastructure for CCS logistics, though near term earnings contribution remains small.

MISC locking in a second LCO2 carrier charter with Northern Lights. Revenue estimate is small relative to their order book, but it shows CCS logistics is moving past pilot stage into actual vessel deployment.

The 1.5 percent earnings upside is tiny. Still, having a dedicated carrier for CO2 transport is a real step. Curious how many more vessels NLJV plans to charter before this scales.

Worth noting Northern Lights is the JV behind the Norwegian CCS project. If MISC is their go to for shipping, that signals some confidence in the operational side. But the revenue numbers here are pocket change for a company MISC's size.

MISC moving from oil tankers to CO2 carriers is a real pivot. The article mentions this is their second charter with NLJV. That suggests repeat business, not just a one off trial.

The financial impact is minimal now, but the strategic angle matters. If CCS scales under EU or IMO rules, having a dedicated fleet ready early could pay off. Question is whether demand materializes fast enough.
