“The safe voyage and on time delivery of HHIC-Phil's first ever Subic-made floating dock, "FD20001" from our shipyard to Vietnam last November 27, 2012 is an unprecedented success. This would not have been made possible without the excellent towing service rendered by Malayan Towage & Salvage Corp.

Time and again, Malayan has proven itself to be a positive force to reckon with in the maritime industry. Indeed, the reliable capacity of Malayan-owned MT "Trabajador-1" in braving the rough seas safely during such a long journey simply mirrors the company's outstanding logistics service that is at par to the international standards. We are proud to have collaborated with them for the said delivery.“
