Naming of “Bunga Allium”

The 38,000 dwt tanker is the third in a series of eight IMO II chemical tankers ordered from the STX shipyard in South Korea by MISC. “Bunga Allium” was  delivered on 5 January and has sailed on her first voyage from South Korea to Pasir Gudang. Her delivery brings the number of MISC's owned and in-chartered Chemical tankers to 21.
The coming into service of “Bunga Allium” is part of MISC's rapid chemical fleet expansion programme, which will see MISC receiving a total of 15 chemical tankers over the next two years.

Similar to her sister vessels, “Bunga Akasia” and “Bunga Alamanda”, which were delivered last year, “Bunga Allium” is well-suited to carry a wide variety of vegetable oil, chemical and CPP cargoes, thus, increasing its service offerings and competitiveness in the chemical shipping industry.
