Karpowership

Karpowership is a subsidiary of Karadeniz Holding, Istanbul, Turkey.

Karpowership is the only owner, operator and builder of the first Powership (floating power plant) fleet in the world. Since 2010, nine Powerships have been completed with total installed capacity exceeding 1,500 MW.[1]

Starting from the design, and ending with delivery of electricity, Karpowership fully executes all activities in-house including construction, site preparation, commissioning, and fuel supply.

Karpowership’s fleet supplies to Southern Iraq,[2] Lebanon,[3] Ghana, Zambia (via Mozambique) and North Sulawesi, Indonesia.[4]

Karadeniz Holding

Karadeniz Holding was established in 1948 by Rauf Osman Karadeniz. The company is operational in several industries including: energy, finance, leasing, and real estate.

Powership

Powerships are barge or ship mounted floating power plants. Karpowerships Powerships are all-in-cost fast-track solutions that can operate on heavy fuel oil and on natural gas. They are available under Electricity Generation Services Contracts, Power Rental Contracts, Energy Conversion Works Contracts or Power Purchase Agreements.[5][6]

In 2007 Karpowership developed a project named "Power of Friendship", which aims to supply electricity to shortage-stricken countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.[7]

The freighter Melpomeni was acquired in 2009 by Karpowership with the purpose to turn her into a floating power plant sailing under the Liberian flag. She was renamed Karadeniz Powership Doğan Bey after Nuri Doğan Karadeniz, the COO of the company.[8]

In May 2009, the Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul, was commissioned with the task to convert the cargo ship into a Powership by installing the needed engine-generators,transformers and the electric switchboards on board.[8]

Karadeniz Powership Doğan Bey is the first of its kind, a Powership with dual-fuel diesel engines.[9] Aboard the vessel, twelve 10.53 MW generator units are installed and three units are packed in one of the ship's four holds and fans and funnels mounted on deck.[10]

Bureau Veritas, an international certification agency with experience in overseeing both shipbuilding and power plant development, classified the vessel following its conversion as "special service-floating power plant".[11]
