BROWNSVILLE, Texas (September 24, 2025) — On Tuesday, September 23, Seatrium announced the sale of its shipbuilding facility at the Port of Brownsville to Karpower Valley LLC of Karpowership, a global leader in power generation, LNG infrastructure, and shipbuilding that provides mobile energy solutions worldwide.
This transition marks a new chapter and a significant opportunity for the Port of Brownsville and the entire Rio Grande Valley. Karpowership’s proven expertise and global footprint will bring renewed investment, innovation, and growth to our region, further solidifying the port’s role as a gateway for international commerce and industrial development.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Seatrium AmFELS, formerly Keppel AmFELS, for being such an integral part of our community, providing manufacturing jobs and supporting families across the region for many years. The skills and dedication of our local workforce have been firmly established through their contributions and are well positioned to transition into the new opportunities brought forward by Karpowership.
We look forward to working with Karpowership as they establish operations in our region, and we are confident this new partnership will create meaningful economic opportunities, strengthen our workforce, and enhance the port’s reputation as a hub for world-class maritime activity.
The Port of Brownsville remains committed to supporting our partners and ensuring this development benefits not only our tenants but also the broader community.
