The Turkish Karpowership company’s “Black Sea Powership Orhan Ali Khan,” one of the world’s largest electricity generating ships, came to Istanbul Yenikapı for refueling. The 50-meter-wide ship, which took 18 months to build, has 21 funnels.
European countries requested an electricity-producing ship from Karpowership to supplement their energy supply before winter. Electricity generating ships are expected to meet the needs of 5 million households and support district central heating systems. If a deal is reached, it will be the first time a Turkish company has produced electricity for European countries.
