I got the chance to see this ship under construction for a 2 week period I was taking delivery of a mega container ship, the OOCL Korea, which was also built at Samsung Heavy Industries... It's a monster of a ship. You don't truly appreciate its size until you're next to it XD
The pity is that in over 2 years in start up and production mode, it has off loaded only one commercial shipment to a customer, and continues to be plagued with issues that has had it off line for over 12 months.
The birthing pains of nascent technology. The _Prelude_ may prove trouble-laden but, the next generation of ships will be constructed having learned lessons therefrom. As a first son in my large family, I can attest that perfecting the formation of an adapted product (evolution) takes time, trial, and failure. Our family's youngest is a veritable financial wizard; a faithful and contemplative Catholic with a rigid code of ethics and principles; and a 6'4" monster of a body builder but, he wouldn't have been possible were it not for me.
6:08 “It could be compared with some famous ships, for example the titanic but here the dimensions are so big you probably count in titanics.” This made me laugh 🤣😂😅 this ship is comically huge! 😅👍
The axle that it turns on makes it unique, and solves a lot of issues for station-keeping. Be constantly fighting rust on that thing, would need teams of people just for that and monitoring methods for any gas leaks.
On board ship 3 weeks to a month - no wife/girlfriend or kids, no alcohol/drugs, no sleeping in, cafeteria food, dangerous area & same people everyday ... Yep the money is good but for how long ?
@@jwarmstrong Pretty good stuff. Not everyone needs, what you just listed up. Its truly a different work experience. Better than any 9-5 office job eitherway.
Its clear that some industrialized countries have made major steps ahead in tomorrow's innovative, productive and creative world; just overwhelmingly fascinating insights😎
Impressive This must have taken years to design and build . If it cost $12 billion or more will they get that back over the years and it must have a life span on 50 years
The negative influence of renewable energy consumption, as well as the larger effect of imports, emphasize the necessity of implementing ecologically friendly measures in both energy sectors (particularly, the need to increase the share of renewable energy in total energy use) and international trade.
@@trash4cash454 I estimate just about every five years for Class Renewal of all certificates and surveys. A common practice for FPSO`s and floating oil platforms.
600,000 tons is almost three times the Evergiven. Certainly won't be doing the Suez run. Only the Koreans can build behemoths like these. I didn't hear anyone saying "x-football" fields though.
The ocean is vast. There is no limit when it comes to building bigger ships.95% of our oceans haven’t been explored. If we run out of space on land, which would be many centuries, we can build underwater buildings.
It's hardly a new idea, the use of FPSO's in the Oil industry (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) has been around for decades. Most were not bespoke vessels, rather old Oil Tankers that were adapted for the job. They would sit on a well head and process the crude, then store it for collection by a fleet of tankers and this still happens. It seems totally sensible that the Gas production industry goes the same way, although more equipment is required for the liquification of the gas. This equipment is also required for the transportation of the gas in LNG carriers as the liquid gas if not stored below it's boiling point, will become a gas again and upset the storage arrangements of the carrier. It is obviously only financially viable for use in some of the more out of the way gas fields such as this one off the NW coast of OZ. Here in the UK we are lucky and have enormous natural gas reserves in the North sea oil fields so shore based processing facilities are a viable option. Indeed Shell operate one on the coast of Norfolk.
totally agreed ....the turret concept have been used for decades on FPSO's. If you want to look at a success story regarding the FLNG concept and in operation, look at FLNG Hilli Episeyo (Golar) - off the Cameroonian cost, maintaining a 100% commercial uptime since it first starting production in 2018.

What do I imagine when I hear the phrase ‘Giant Ship’ ? Er, why we still drilling for Natural Gas? you know we can get free energy from the sun right!? To quote Jurassic Park here… “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should”
Natural gas is used for more than just energy production, and even if it wasn't, we can't just stop using it. Not enough people are interested in wind/solar yet for it to completely replace things like coal and natural gas. We're still drilling for it because it isn't realistic yet to stop.
As a plumber that pipework is very impressive
i could only imagine the Autocad file on this ship hahah
How would you even start

My roommate does that for Toyota lol, I couldn’t even BEGIN to imagine the size of the file for this
Nah - gimme a napkin and a sharpie...

I dont know how i got here, but am glad i did. :)
Very informative
What if it was a Decepticon??🤔..
Would love to see how it transformed and how massive it would be..
Oh god...
That would be terrifying
Good to see some Australian parts on it and seeing it of the coast of Australia

I love the Titanics measuring system. ACE.
Malaysia having 2 Gigantic FLNG. Petronas. Congrate to SHELL and Petronas Malaysia.
I can only imagine how much money a worker makes onboard a day, and the break rotation.

Excellent video.
Amazing video please keep them comming!

This was a well presented video. Very informative
I want to see this as a very expensive LEGO Technic set with at least 10,000 pieces.
Omg.... I can't wait to work on this beast... As a chef.... And it's been my dream for 14 years to work offshore.. And I've finally made it 💪

the complexity boggles my mind.

Perfect video edit and information!
Well explained 👏
So, How Many drydocks will be able to accommodate this ship?
I guess this ship need dry doc ones a 20 years

How have I not heard of this thing yet?
Jesus, we need to stop extracting carbon.This thing is an astonishing feat of engineering, tho. Just wow.
The perlude is the pride of the natural gas industry
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
not quite the pride but definitely the biggest... like Harvey Weinstein, the biggest but that is not necessarily a good thing
Apple: we build the best smart phone :P
Samsung: Hold my 600 thousand tons FLPG Mega star Ship :)
Re thumbnail: kudos to the river pilot.
General information,1st World FLNG is PETRONAS FLNG 1... second unit still in process...
Gas itself is Gaseous.. Duly Noted ...
Great video,keep it up!🟢🟢🟢㊗️🈹️
this is why I am studying engineering and why I love machining and heavy machinery, this is insane
Whats crazy, I only thought SAMSUNG just made cellphones, tv's, and high end home appliances.
Damn... most Malaysians aren't even aware that Petronas has one of these lol
Two,second still in build
Fascinating!
Superb video!!
Prelude I saw this ship this is the most largest ship I saw larger than the aircraft carrier
How big can you make it?
Engineers: YES
No matter the size of the ship its still just a tiny drop of water in that vast vast ocean
Ah yes, the Samsung Heavy Industries Technip consortium ;)
I love this thing. It might be a planet crushing monster but it makes me tingle in that special kinda way 🙄
Sounds as you are LGBTQ+ member - so you could date a pipe, sea gull or fish -
WOOOOOOW ! it's so big 🤯
That's why sea level will rise even more and flood the poorer coastal countries.
So the ship should be called Mr. Worldwide
..Holy Ship, that's a biggin I tell you what
This isn't a ship it's a barge
I laughed at the fact that he calculated the ships size using titanic as a unit of measurement
Jesus... I just can’t imagine the possible environmental disasters that could possibly happen to this thing if something intense rocks up.

Interesting video. I didn't hear about such a large ship
So is this the same as the platforms now unloading LNG into Europe? But working in reverse, I guess.
Samsung also builds ships .. great

If you want a really "FAR OUT" piece of marine tech, check out the Glomar Explorer and it was built in the 70s.
This ship is 12 times heavier than the Titanic. Impressive.
All that marvelous shit and yet despite my hard work having hard time buying a single fried chicken.
Samsung prelude
Samsung prelude max
Samsung prelude pro ultra max
There's no shortage of GAS and new fields being found each year...
I mean, it has TWO helicopter platforms, for Gods sake! Is there any other building or oil rig that has that?
@ minute 2:06 speaks about GTL process, not LNG
Wow wow wow so awesome
10:57 And the freedom ship with a displacement of 2.7 million tons would put them all to shame... if it ever gets built that is.
Get all the narcissistic people in the world,. And nuke it.
We already have LAND!
If this ship would stuck in Suez where Eveegreen stuck,it would need 5 months to unstuck it lol
Probably faster to just build a new canal around it
Being as long as it is, probably would not have gotten stuck in the same way. Bank drafting on something that size must be a struggle.
This ship is wider than some parts of the Suez canal - so it wouldnt even be able to get there in the first place!
You're an idiot.
Really great😃😃😃
Where is the smoking area?
i guess its on the 2 helipad :P
Top of the crane
This is bigger than my local town🤣
have you ever considered we want to see the ship? and not the editor doing 60 cuts per minute?

Malaysia have 2 PFLNG
and petronas have proven the biggest value in flng, they moved pflng satu to a new field and started up production without a lot of issue...
The presenter sounds like he has had two sessions of vocal coaching to suppress his Indian accent lol.
Hello! Sky here!
Me captain of this ship there would be a bungee jumping spot at the end of the giant arm/crane thing
That would hurt because that's the main flare. :-)
so you telling me that is a bucket of metal in 25 years time?
Imagine playing hide and seek on this damn thing! Lmaooo
These engineers are the ilmangos of irl
The video is quite inaccurate. To start is not liquid natural gas, but liquefied natural gas, and the process shown is GTL not liquefaction by cooling
As soon as zero point energy is made public. This thing will be completely useless overnight!😊 But it is impressive.
Im waiting the movie when this ship failing someday. It would be great movie
I want to see this CAD file😂
