Reservoir Link Energy Bhd is moving to expand its footprint in Malaysia’s domestic energy sector, leveraging its status as one of the few listed companies holding both a gas shipping licence and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) licence.
The company is positioning itself to capitalise on the ongoing liberalisation of the Malaysian gas market, a structural shift that is opening new avenues for private players in a sector previously dominated by state-linked entities.
The dual licensing status provides Reservoir Link with a distinct operational advantage.
While many competitors must secure separate permits or rely on third-party logistics, the company’s integrated credentials allow it to manage both the transportation and liquefaction aspects of the gas value chain.
This vertical integration is increasingly valuable as the market transitions toward a more competitive, merchant-driven model.
Malaysia’s gas liberalisation agenda aims to boost efficiency and attract investment by allowing greater private participation in upstream and midstream activities.
