SUPPORTING THE NATION MISC’s auxiliary naval vessel, Bunga Mas Enam (BM6) was deployed on 16 April 2014 together with KD Lekiu from the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) in search of MH370 alongside other vessels from China, Australia, United Kingdom and the United States of America (USA). BM6 was deployed to the Southern Corridor of the Indian Ocean and carried a crew of 25 MISC sea staff who are also members of the RMN Volunteer Reserve Unit. BM6, a 699 TEU containership, was the second Malaysian merchant ship to be modified as an auxiliary vessel for RMN in August 2011. This initiative was carried out following the previous hijacking of two MISC ships in the Gulf of Aden in 2008. MISC in partnership with the RMN also utilises BM6 to provide security escort for MISC vessels in the Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean, West Africa and Gulf of Guinea which are known to be high risk areas for incidences of piracy. p 113 MISC BERHAD - Annual Report 2014
