S Korea tests world's biggest 'ship'

[Jimbuna]

How many renown points for this beauty?

A floating vessel that is longer than the Empire State Building is high has taken to the water for the first time.

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.

According to the quoted article, it's not a ship per se.:hmmm:

Is Shell trying to overcompensate for something?
:haha:

I smell a very expensive, possibly bloody tragedy waiting to happen. I mean, what could go wrong with a ginormous floating gas platform that cant sail under its own power?
