Prelude FLNG Launch Time-lapse

On December 3, 2013, the 488 meter long hull of Shell’s Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) plant was floated out of the dry dock at the Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) yard in Geoje, South Korea, where it has been under construction for just over a year. At 600,000 tons fully loaded, the vessel will be the largest floating object ever constructed. See more about Prelude FLNG at
