KARMOL, a joint venture between Karpowership and Japan’s MOL, has named its latest Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) at Seatrium’s yard in Singapore. The four conversions include Karmol LNGT Powership Africa, Karmol LNGT Powership Asia and Karmol LNGT Powership Europe.
The contract strengthens Seatrium’s position as a leader in the highly specialised FSRU conversion market. Works entail the instalment of a regasification skid and supporting systems such as cargo, utility, spread-mooring, offloading, electrical and automation.
KARMOL LNGT Powership Africa (ex-Dwiputra, built 1994) arrived off Dakar, Senegal, in June 2021. The vessel has a storage capacity of 125,000 cubic meters and a scalable regas capacity of 15 to 300 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd), adding to the Turkish company’s global fleet of LNG-to-power solutions.
Karpowership, part of Istanbul-based Karadeniz Holding, has the world’s largest fleet of Powerships with 40 ships and a combined capacity of over 7,500 MW. Earlier this year, the Turkish company contracted MAN Energy Solutions to supply and install 48 dual-fuel engines.
