Shell's record-breaking Prelude takes to the water. 4 December 2013Last updated at 09:03 ET Shell has published this footage of Prelude's hull being tested at a shipyard in Geoje, South Korea A floating vessel that is longer than the Empire State Building is high has taken to the water for the first time.

Shell's record-breaking Prelude takes to the water

The hull of Shell's Prelude was floated in South Korea. When fully built, Prelude will be the largest floating facility ever created, weighing more than 600,000 tonnes. It would be used to help in the production of natural gas from 2017, Shell said, and would operate for 25 years off Australia's north-west coast. The area has a yearly cyclone season from November to April, but Prelude has been designed to withstand such conditions. Despite appearances, Prelude cannot strictly be described as a ship as it needs to be towed to its destination rather than travelling under its own power. Not content with Prelude's record-breaking size, Shell said it had already started work on an even bigger facility.
