Shell Floats Hull for World's Largest Floating Facility

摘要

The 488-meter-long hull of Shell's Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (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. Once complete, Prelude FLNG will be the largest floating facility ever built. It will unlock new energy resources offshore and produce approximately 3.6 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per annum to meet growing demand.
