Shell floats hull for world’s largest floating LNG facility:
"Shell launched the world’s biggest vessel on Tuesday. The Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility is potentially a game changer for the industry, as it paves the way to more ambitious projects.
According to a note released by the company, the 488-metre-long hull of the FLNG facility has been floated out of the dry dock at the Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) yard in Geoje, South Korea, where the facility is currently under construction.
After unveiling its intention to work on facilities compatible with more extreme environments, Shell presented the facility that will allow the company to produce natural gas at sea, turn it into LNG and then transfer it directly to the ships that will transport it to the customers."
