Turkey’s Botas Petroleum has appointed Wilhelmsen Ship Management to manage its first floating storage and regasification unit that was recently delivered by Hyundai Heavy Industries.

The Singapore-based shipmanager told TradeWinds it has completed the takeover of the 170,000-cbm newbuilding Ertugrul Gazi (built 2021), which is currently docked at the port of Dortyol in Iskenderun Bay.

Billed as the first ever Turkish-owned and flagged FSRU, the Ertugrul Gazi completed its sea trials off South Korea in March.
