Orkim extends Shell charter contracts


The company said said the value of the CVC contracts is on “cargo-nominations” basis.

PETALING JAYA: Orkim Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Orkim Leader Sdn Bhd and Orkim Power Sdn Bhd, have entered into side letters to extend their respective existing consecutive voyage charter (CVC) contracts with Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd and Shell Timur Sdn Bhd.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, it said the value of the CVC contracts is on “cargo-nominations” basis whereby “cargo-nominations” will be issued at the discretion of the charterers.

These will follow the schedule of rates as set forth in the CVC contracts, throughout the duration of the contracts.

As such, there is no firm value for the CVC contracts.

The contracts were initially entered into for a one-year period from March 1, 2024 to Feb 28, 2025, and were subsequently extended to Feb 28, 2026.

Under the latest extension, the parties may further extend the contracts for another year, up to Feb 29, 2028, subject to the charterers’ option and existing contractual terms.
