Seatrium has been hired for Karpowership’s ninth FSRU conversion project, LNGT Akdeniz, which will form part of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) fleet of Kinetics, a Karpowership energy transition initiative. The award follows the delivery of seven FSRUs since 2018 and the ongoing conversion of LNGT Karadeniz, the partnership’s eighth FSRU project after the recent naming and sail-away of LNGT Türkiye.
The LNGT Akdeniz project involves the conversion of an LNG carrier into an FSRU, with work scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027. Seatrium’s scope entails the engineering, conversion, integration, installation, and commissioning of regasification equipment and associated systems. Upon completion, the unit will enhance LNG import and regasification capabilities in its target market, supporting energy security and a reliable supply of cleaner energy.
Gokhan Kocak, Chief Technical Operations Officer at Karpowership, commented: “The successful delivery of LNGT Türkiye and the award of LNGT Akdeniz are important milestones in the continued growth of Karpowership’s LNG-to-Power business. Together, these FSRUs strengthen our ability to provide reliable and flexible energy solutions to markets where energy security is critical.
“Seatrium has been a key enabler of this journey, consistently delivering high-quality FSRU conversions that support our operational requirements and longterm growth plans. As global demand for flexible energy infrastructure continues to grow, we look forward to advancing our ongoing projects and exploring new opportunities together.”
