LNG shipper MISC said it has agreed to sell its 50 percent stake in VTTI to Vitol Group for US$830 million.

“ For MISC, this divestment will enable us to unlock the value of our investment in VTTI B.V. and take advantage of future opportunities within our core business of energy and petroleum related shipping ,” Yee Yang Chien, President and CEO of MISC said.
