Reports say as part of plans for the permanent deployment of the MV Bunga Mas 5 Auxiliary ship to the ESSCOM security zone, the ship will be formally commissioned into the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) as the KD Bunga Mas 5. Currently, the MV Bunga Mas 5 and MV Bunga Mas 6 is under auxillary service for the RMN, not on full commission, and are still crewed by civilian MISC sailors (although signed on as navy reservists and under RMN command). These ships mostly function as a floating base for the RMN's naval commandos for anti-piracy operations.

Her sister ship, the MV Bunga Mas 6 will remain in auxiliary service for the time being as a training ship and will continue to take part in the RMN's anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden, code-named Ops Fajar.

The ESSCOM security zone will also be strengthened by the conversion of a former oil drilling rig into a mid-sea floating naval base for security operations in Eastern Sabah.
