John,
I found the following article your readers might be interested in reading. Shell’s Prelude LNG ‘ship’ is not really a ship, per se, because it has no means of self propulsion.
It will be towed to location and anchored, supposedly for the life of the gas field exploitation project.
This vessel is nothing more than a giant production and processing barge masquerading as a ship.
The Biggest Ship in the World Might Not Even Be a Ship
