KUALA LUMPUR May 11 (Reuters) - Malaysia's largest shipping company MISC Bhd (MISC.KL) reported a 76 drop in fourth-quarter net profit, hurt by the steep drop in container rates.

MISC, a unit of sovereign oil company Petronas PETR.UL, recorded January-March net profit of 181.8 million Malaysian ringgit against 764.5 million ringgit in the previous year.

For the full year, net profit dropped 42 percent to 1.4 billion ringgit.
