Samsung Heavy Industries Co., a major shipyard here, said Friday that it has launched the world's largest offshore plant after five years of construction.

In June 2011, along with France's Technip, the shipyard clinched a $3.4 billion deal from Shell to build the floating LNG production facility, named Prelude FLNG.

The floater, 488 meters long and 74 meters wide, is designed to produce 3.6 million tons of LNG annually for 25 years.

The Prelude FLNG left Samsung Heavy's Geoje shipyard earlier in the day for use off waters near Australia. (Yonhap)
