Karpowership’s FSRU named in Singapore

Turkiye’s Karpowership, a part of Karadeniz, has named its latest floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at Seatrium’s yard in Singapore.

Seatrium said in a social media post that the naming ceremony for FSRU Karadeniz LNGT Powership Americas took place at its Admiralty Yard on August 14.

This vessel represents Seatrium’s fifth FSRU conversion for Karpowership.

Before this vessel, KARMOL, a joint venture of Karpowership and Japan’s MOL, took delivery of its fourth FSRU from Seatrium.

The vessel in question is KARMOL LNGT Powership Antarctica.

In addition, Seatrium and Karpowership signed a letter of intent last week, which includes the conversion, life extension, and repairs of three LNG carriers into FSRUs.

This involves the installation of regasification modules, spread-mooring systems, and the integration of critical supporting systems such as cargo handling, offloading, utility, electrical, and automation systems.

Under the LOI, Seatrium will also carry out the integration of four new generation powerships, with an option for two additional units.
