Drydocks World delivers world’s largest turret mooring system
DUBAI -- Drydocks World has marked a major milestone by successfully completing the world’s largest turret mooring system for Shell's Prelude FLNG facility.
At almost 100 m high, weighing over 11,000 tons and with a diameter of 26 m, the turret will ensure that the Prelude FLNG facility can operate safely in the most extreme weather conditions.
This innovative FLNG storage and production facility will be stationed, by Shell, at Prelude gas field off the northwest coast of Australia.
Drydocks World has delivered 5 modules for the Shell FLNG turret mooring system, and delivery of module 5 represents the completion of the crown jewel of this project, with the turret being the heart of the Prelude FLNG.
