The Shell Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) project continues to make history, after 14 months of construction.

Measuring almost half a kilometre in length and weighing over 200 000 t, the huge hull is ready to take to the water for the first time. In this video, the team in Goeje, South Korea, prepares to launch the largest hull ever to set sail on the sea.
