We investigate when a partially ordered semigroup (with various types of local units) is strongly Morita equivalent to a posemigroup from a given class of partially ordered semigroups. Necessary and sufficient conditions for such equivalence are obtained for a series of well-known classes of posemigroups. A number of sufficient conditions for several classes of naturally ordered posemigroups are also provided.
