I accidentally made a mistake and put the gambia banner on the sierra leone banner,
No one noticed my mistake and I have corrected it.
I comment this because there are so many data that sometimes one gets confused.
But it is seen that nobody noticed the mistake here!
It is rare for this to happen if there are 200 eyes watching.
If you see errors please say so, and this is the beauty of the forum, talk, comment and share ideas if this forum was made for this purpose.

The Orca-class vessels, with a maximum capacity of 235 MW, are 140 meters long and 42 meters wide and are designed with the latest technology.
Our Powerships consist of Dual-Fuel engines, on-board high-voltage substation, on-board fuel storage and on-board accommodations. With a depth of only 3 meters, they can easily enter the ports of the countries where they will generate power.
The Powership left Turkey on February 8, 2013 bound for Lebanon.
She arrived at her destination after a week's journey.
(https://i.ibb.co/RCXxJz3/KPS-9-SUHEYLA-SULTAN-2.jpg)
Following a ceremony held in Beirut in early April 2013 in the presence of Gebran Bassil , Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water, the Powership began supplying 188 MW of electricity to the grid in Lebanon, where demand for electric power grew more than expected from 2011 through increased consumption and the influx of refugees from the Syrian Civil War.
(https://i.ibb.co/sQXhCQ1/KPS-9-SUHEYLA-SULTAN-3.jpg)
Over a three-year period, at least 15% of the country's electricity needs are generated by our fleet power.
The contract expired in September 2021, while Électricité du Liban owed Karpowership overdue payments in excess of $100 million. Powership has stopped its supplies on 1 October 2021.

I hate that people mark ships afloat in GOOGLE MAPS, if they move, or worse that they make them in 3D, they make a little square drawing and cover the original ship.

Hi Geir
The OCEAN KARADENIZ imo: 9243370 that one I don't have in my list.
It was sold to Karadeniz in 2020/21, these people don't scrap ships, if they buy them it's to do something else.
Renamed 'Ocean Karadenis' and registered in Monrovia, with plans to be be rebuilt for the use as a floating power station. The new owners are Karpowershipyard Rauf Bey Co. (Karmarine Karadeniz Denizcilik ve Ticaret AS), Istanbul.

(https://i.ibb.co/xJNc2Jk/BANNER-2-History.png)
Built in 2007, it was converted into a Powership in 2015 by Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul, Turkey.
(https://i.ibb.co/bPppp41/KPS-10-AYSEGUL-SULTAN-1.jpg)
The vessel is named after the sister of the chairperson of Karadeniz Holding, KPS-10 Ayşegül Sultan.
(https://i.ibb.co/VQVkKpW/KPS-10-AYSEGUL-SULTAN-2.jpg)
The Orca-class vessels, with a maximum capacity of 235 MW, are 140 meters long and 42 meters wide and are designed with the latest technology.
Our Powerships consist of Dual-Fuel engines, on-board high-voltage substation, on-board fuel storage and on-board accommodations. With a depth of only 3 meters, they can easily enter the ports of the countries where they will generate power.
On October 27, 2015, the Powership set sail for Ghana after a farewell ceremony held in Tuzla, Istanbul. It arrived in Ghana ahead of schedule and entered service at the port of Tema in December 2015.
(https://i.ibb.co/hFjZsSp/KPS-10-AYSEGUL-SULTAN-Ghana.jpg)
The Powership has an installed capacity of 235 MW.

(https://i.ibb.co/K22mkZB/KPS-10-AYSEGUL-SULTAN-3.jpg)
The ship was renamed Esra Sultan so as not to irritate the local Shiites, who are negative about the wife of the Prophet Aishi, known in Turkish transcription as Aisegul.
And the power generation barge is sent to Lebanon, but it only works for 6 months.
In mid-2019, it passes through the Turkish shipyard and is modernized and christened with its former name KPS-10 Ayşegül Sultan.

Here in dakar is the KARMOL LNGT POWERSHIP AFRICA (IMO: 9043677)
(https://i.ibb.co/QjtNXw3/karmol-1.jpg)
It is not a power generation ship.
The first LNG Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), that is to be used by KARMOL as part of a power installation in Africa, arrived in Senegal as it prepares to deploy. After arriving in Africa at the end of May, it is being positioned at its mooring location and undergoing the commissioning process to join an existing powership in the port of Dakar.
Known as the Karmol LNGT Powership, the 105,000 gross ton tanker, that was built in 1994, recently completed trials after a conversion at the Sembcorp Marine in Singapore. The vessel is being operated a KARMOL, a joint venture between Karpowership and Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL).
KARMOL sees the combination of FSRUs and Powerships as a ground-breaking solution to bring LNG utilized power generation to countries with no natural gas infrastructure or supply. The company believes that will provide a unique, cleaner solution to providing stable electric power to a broader range of developing countries seeking to expand their electric supply.
The FSRU will connect to a Powership, a floating power plant, owned by Karpowership, through gas pipelines. The Karadeniz Powership Aysegül Sultan, has a capacity of 235MW, and has been in operation since October 2019, supplying 15 percent of Senegal's electricity with 220MW of power to Senegal's grid. Previously the powership was fueled by traditional fossil fuels, which will now be replaced by the cleaner burning LNG.
The FSRU, which is 272 meters long, has a capacity of 125, 470 cubic meters of gas. The FSRU arrived in Senegal with an initial supply of LNG on board and the first refueling will be carried out by Shell in July.
The company plans to convert its fleet of Powerships to LNG to add a sustainable and affordable component to its operations. Currently, plans are underway to deploy the second LNG FSRU in Mozambique.

It was named MAERSK PUNCHER joined the Maersk Supply Service fleet in 1993.
In 2016 , Maersk Supply has sold two of its anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTS) to Karadeniz of Turkey.
The sale price of Maersk Puncher (built in 1992) and Maersk Provider (built in 1991) has not been disclosed.
Earlier this month, Maersk Supply stated that it would reduce its offshore support vessel (OSV) fleet by up to 20 vessels over the next 18 months due to "unprecedented market conditions."
(https://i.ibb.co/VLLknk5/KPS-45-FARUK-BEY-3.png)
Jørn Madsen, CEO of Maersk Supply Service, told Splash last week, "The vast majority of the vessels we are divesting will be recycled or modified by their new owners to compete outside the OSV market."
Karadeniz has been very active in the buy-sell market this year, and has bought at least two vessels to convert them into floating power plants.
After the two sales, Maersk Supply Service's fleet now numbers 54 vessels.
The MAERSK PUNCHER was converted into a Powership with a generation capacity of 40 MW at Hat-San Shipyard in Altinova, Yalova.
In 2017 it was completed and launched under the name KPS-45 FARUK BEY.
(https://i.ibb.co/0JVdb98/KPS-45-FARUK-BEY-4.jpg)

(https://i.ibb.co/cxrh7qj/BANNER-2-LOGISTICS.png)
Karpowership is proud to be part of the Brazilian energy sector and to contribute to the country's energy generation and efficiency.
In Brazil since 2022, the company's main project in the country is the implementation and operation of 4 floating thermal power plants and a floating gas storage and regasification unit (FSRU) (LNG).
The vessels are anchored in Sepetiba Bay, in the city of Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro, and have a total installed capacity of 560 MW.
(https://i.ibb.co/0fXPPFB/KPS-21-ZEYNEP-SULTAN-10.jpg)
The project is 100% completed and began operating in September 2022, making it fully available to the Brazilian energy system. The power plants generate clean and reliable energy using natural gas. The energy generated passes through 41 transmission towers and reaches the homes of thousands of Brazilians.
The Powerships are highly efficient, fully integrated, combined-cycle facilities that can be deployed almost immediately and therefore do not require carbon-intensive land-based infrastructure. They can be "unplugged" and reinstalled elsewhere, with minimal environmental impact after decommissioning.

So much for SUPPORT VESSELS.
Now comes the HEAVY LIFT VESSELS.

OK (Osman Karadeniz) (IMO 8025331)
(https://i.ibb.co/DWdrpt1/BANNER-1-tecnical-data-CHICO.png)
(https://i.ibb.co/yn3ZgLW/OK-1.jpg)
(https://i.ibb.co/xJNc2Jk/BANNER-2-History.png)
Built at Shipyard: Oshima Shipbuilding Company Ltd, Oshima, Japan.
Shipyard number: 10059
Launched in 1982 for Wijsmuller B.V., IJmuiden, Noord-Holland, Netherlands.
(https://i.ibb.co/yQt395Z/OK-0.jpg)
Named: SUPER SERVANT 3
In 1994 sold to Dockwise N.V. continued as SUPER SERVANT 3 but her flag was changed to Netherlands Antilles.
(https://i.ibb.co/0CmDD6X/OK-2.jpg)
During October 2007 it was purchased by Anglo Eastern UK Ltd., Glasgow, Great Britain, continuing under the name SUPER SERVANT 3 and under the flag of Netherlands Antilles.
(https://i.ibb.co/xjdfvN3/OK-3.jpg)
In 2010 the Anglo Eastern UK Ltd., Glasgow, Great Britain, the ship SUPER SERVANT 3, was reflagged to Curaçao.
(https://i.ibb.co/rc4cQSd/OK-4.jpg)
In April 2017 the SUPER SERVANT 3 sold to Karmarine Karadeniz Denizcilik, Istanbul, Turkey.
For the Karpowership Co. Ltd. under the flag of Monrovia / Liberia.
(https://i.ibb.co/cgNzJTD/BANNER-TRANSFORMATION.png)
The former heavy lift vessel "Super Servant 3" has been converted into a private yacht at the Turkish shipyard Karmarine.
Renamed: OK (Osman Karadeniz)
(https://i.ibb.co/3CvSDJD/OK-6.jpg)
During three years at the shipyard, she has been converted into a partially submersible superyacht.
As a transport vessel, this feature proved very useful for both stern and side loading, and is also what attracted Bozca's attention.
(https://i.ibb.co/TvQzVYY/OK-7.jpg)
To have a superyacht that can submerge almost 70% of its surface and yet maintain full area functionality the rest of the time is something no other explorer yacht can do.
Karmarine reinforced the large open aft deck so that, when it emerges above water level, it can carry up to 70 different water toys, including multiple tenders, buggies, amphibious vehicles, a seaplane and a 46-meter yacht.
It also has a convenient car ramp, so it is possible to drive land vehicles on board and take them to the next destination.
(https://i.ibb.co/FqBjpmr/OK-8.jpg)
The large open-air garage can be used without submerging the aft deck, thanks to a 40-ton crane that allows most of the toys on board to be launched and picked up.
When the deck is not being used as a garage, the 20 guests on board can use it for leisure activities in an open space of 3,300 square meters.

(https://i.ibb.co/QX1Wg4w/LNGT-POWERSHIP-AFRICA-1.jpg)
(https://i.ibb.co/xJNc2Jk/BANNER-2-History.png)
The vessel was built in 1994 as DWIPUTRA LNG at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipyard in Kobe for Pacific LNG Tpt Ltd, Bahamas.
(https://i.ibb.co/gtdG6Q1/LNGT-POWERSHIP-AFRICA-2.jpg)
In the late 2010s, the tanker was purchased by KARMOL, a company owned equally by Japanese shipping company Mitsui OSK Lines and Turkey's Karadeniz.
(https://i.ibb.co/HChrhyH/LNGT-POWERSHIP-AFRICA-3.jpg)
The latter has created the world's first fleet of floating power plants, and in some cases it was advisable to supplement them with facilities that would allow natural gas to be used in regions without adequate infrastructure.
The Dwiputra was therefore converted into a floating LNG regasification and storage facility at Singapore's Sembcorp Marine shipyard.
(https://i.ibb.co/Lx08bBc/LNGT-POWERSHIP-AFRICA-4.jpg)
It was renamed KARMOL LNGT POWERSHIP AFRICA.
The regasification unit on board the vessel is capable of supplying 0.4 to 8.5 million m3 per day, and the LNG is stored in tanks with a total volume of 125470 m3.
If required, the vessel can continue to be used as a conventional LNG carrier.
(https://i.ibb.co/q0LX0sQ/LNGT-POWERSHIP-AFRICA-5.jpg)
In June 2022, KARMOL LNGT Powership Africa started operations in Senegal at the Dakar LNG terminal.

In 2013 renamed NORTHWEST SHEARWATER, same company the International Gas Transportation Co Ltd (IGTC), Bermuda.
(https://i.ibb.co/8XLLG0k/LNGT-POWERSHIP-ASIA-3.jpg)
In 2021, the tanker was acquired by KARMOL, owned equally by Japanese shipping company Mitsui OSK Lines and Turkish Karadeniz.
The latter has created the world's first fleet of floating power plants, and in some cases it was advisable to supplement them with facilities that would allow natural gas to be used in regions without adequate infrastructure.

(https://i.ibb.co/5rqV6QW/LNGT-POWERSHIP-ASIA-5.jpg)
Renamed: KARMOL LNGT POWERSHIP ASIA.
LNG is stored in tanks with a total volume of 125,172 m3.
If required, the vessel can continue to be used as a conventional LNG carrier and travel to its destination at a speed of 18.5 knots.

Karpowership is proud to be part of the Brazilian energy sector and to contribute to the country's energy generation and efficiency.
In Brazil since 2021, the company's main project in the country is the implementation and operation of 4 floating thermoelectric plants and a floating gas storage and regasification unit (FSRU) (LNG). The vessels are anchored in Sepetiba Bay, in the city of Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro, and have a total installed capacity of 560MW.
The project was 100% implemented and began operating in September 2022, making it fully available to the Brazilian energy system. The Powerships generate clean and reliable energy using natural gas. The energy generated passes through 41 transmission towers and reaches the homes of thousands of Brazilians.

In early 2020, the tanker was acquired by KARMOL, a company owned equally by Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines and Turkey's Karadeniz.
The latter has created the world's first fleet of floating power plants, and in some cases it was desirable to complement them with facilities that would allow natural gas to be used in regions without adequate infrastructure.
The VESTA is therefore being converted into a floating LNG regasification and storage facility at the Sembcorp Marine shipyard in Singapore.
