• Technically not a ship as it has no on board propulsion

it would be likely to command a price of between $10.8bn and $12.6bn

One for the £100m plus superyachts then if it gets an engine

That was so cool watching all he tug boats working in harmony in fast forward

The tug boats look like owners trying to walk an unruly dog lol

Scale is a funny thing, it is Mahoosive and looks it when their flooding the dry dock but once its towed out into the bay it just looks like a big tanker with nothing to compare it too.

Supposedly Shell are now building a bigger one!

It is clearly a lot longer than the Empire State Building, but it's nothing like as tall!

I work on Prelude, but didn't bother going to the launch as there were way too many VIP nobs there asking daft questions.

It's basically just a hull at the moment, the accommodation and topsides process gubbins will be lifted on later. It is huge though, a right pain if you at the wrong end.
