This picture shows a South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries' tanker-shaped vessel tagged as the world's largest "floating facility", with a length greater than the height of the Empire State Building in New York, at a southern shipyard in Geoje. The 488 metres long, 600,000 tonnes floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) platform -- named "Prelude" -- would be used to help in the production of natural gas from 2017 and would operate for 25 years off Australia's north-west coast.
