The diverse range of complex contracts secured by Seatrium Repairs and Upgrades include the upgrades and conversions of Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRU), life-extension and remediation works for Floating Production Systems, LNG carriers’ repairs, cruise ships’ repairs and refurbishments, offshore and naval works.
“Each of these projects demand strong project management, engineering and strong Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) and quality standards.

Karpowership’s FSRU Conversion
Seatrium has secured contracts to convert three LNG Carriers (LNGC) into Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs) for Karpowership, with an option for a fourth project.
The conversion work involves installing a regasification skid, as well as other supporting systems such as cargo, utility, spread-mooring, offloading, electrical, and automation systems.

Seatrium also got a contract with MODEC Management Services, operator of the asset for Woodside Energy for the maintenance and upgrade of a floating production storage and offloading system (FPSO), the FPSO Pyrenees Venture.
Scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2024, the vessel is expected to be re-deployed back into production off the coast of Western Australia.
In another project, Seatrium will be performing major remediation work for Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production, also scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2024.
