Synergy Marine Group Delivers Next-Generation FSRU “KARADENIZ LNGT POWERSHIP AMERICAS” 

Delivered at Seatrium in Singapore, the “KARADENIZ LNGT POWERSHIP AMERICAS” conversion underscores Synergy’s deep LNG expertise and Karpowership’s mission to deploy fast-track LNG-to-power solutions worldwide.

Singapore, 10 September 2025 – Synergy Marine Group, in partnership with Karpowership, has successfully completed the conversion of a 125,000 m³ LNG carrier into a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), the “KARADENIZ LNGT POWERSHIP AMERICAS”. The vessel was delivered at Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard in Singapore, marking a significant milestone in accelerating LNG-to-power deployment.

Synergy administered the conversion on a turnkey, one-stop basis, from managing design to engineering, procurement, and site supervision. This integrated approach ensured the project was delivered safely, on schedule, and optimised for deployment alongside Karpowership’s global fleet of floating power plants.

Following delivery, the “KARADENIZ LNGT POWERSHIP AMERICAS” has come under Synergy’s full technical management, extending our role beyond conversion into ongoing operations support.

With a regasification capacity of up to 150 mmscfd, the “KARADENIZ LNGT POWERSHIP AMERICAS” can deliver uninterrupted offshore operations for up to 10 years. Designed for integration with Karpowership’s multi-fuel Powership fleet, the unit provides fast-track LNG-to-power solutions in regions where onshore gas infrastructure is limited, shortening project timelines from years to months.
