Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has been awarded a contract by SBM Monaco for the supply of the wire rope sections within the mooring system for the Prelude FLNG to be operated in Northwest Australia.
In May 2011, the Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc made the decision to proceed with the Prelude FLNG Project and start construction of the world’s first floating liquefied natural gas project. With a length of 488m (800ft) bow to stern, this FLNG facility will be the largest floating facility ever built.
