Orkim Sdn Bhd

Established in 2004 as a marine shipbroking business and rebranded to Orkim Sdn Bhd in 2007, later listed as Orkim Berhad, the company has grown into Malaysia’s premier domestic Clean Petroleum Product (CPP) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) tanker owner-operator. With over two decades of maritime operations under its belt, Orkim now manages a modern fleet of approximately 17–18 vessels dedicated to transporting petroleum and gas products across regional sea routes.

Orkim offers a range of services, including chartering of vessels and shipbroking, serving clients across Malaysia’s energy supply chain. The company has a 40% market share in Malaysia’s CPP segment and is recognized for its strong safety compliance, environmental responsibility, and operational efficiency across its fleet.

Noteworthy milestones include a long-term contract awarded by Shell Malaysia in September 2024, and recent vessel acquisitions from Fujian Shipbuilding, reinforcing its growth strategy and fleet capabilities orkim.com.my+1. Orkim’s corporate credit rating of AA‑ (assigned by MARC) attests to its financial strength and industry positioning as of November 2023.

The company maintains a clear commitment to sustainability and aims for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, pursuing cleaner fuel use, fuel efficiency, and investment in eco-friendly vessel systems.

Orkim also holds historical significance due to its successful handling of the high-profile MT Orkim Harmony hijacking incident in June 2015, where the tanker and its crew were recovered safely following coordinated multinational rescue efforts.
