LNGT ANTARCTICA

The KARMOL LNGT Powership Antarctica is a highly specialized offshore floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) that plays a critical role in delivering flexible energy solutions to emerging global markets. Originally built in 1989 as the LNG carrier Northwest Sanderling, the vessel spent 35 years serving Australia’s Northwest Shelf project before undergoing a major technical conversion by Seatrium in Singapore. Now operated under the Liberian flag by KARMOL—a joint venture between Karpowership and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL)—the ship boasts a substantial capacity of 127,525 cubic meters. Instead of operating in polar waters as its name might suggest, this advanced FSRU is designed to receive liquefied natural gas, convert it back into a gaseous state, and directly supply it to floating powerships, providing reliable and more sustainable electricity infrastructure worldwide.
