A joint venture between Japanese shipowner MOL and Turkey’s Karpowership is working on a third LNG carrier-to-floating storage and regasification unit conversion.

TradeWinds understands that one or more affiliates of the partners, which are working together under the name KARMOL, has purchased the 127,363-cbm, Moss-type LNG carrier Northwest Seaeagle (built 1992).

December arrival

The vessel entered Singapore’s Sembcorp Marine shipyard in December and has now been renamed KARMOL LNGT Powership Anatolia.
