Prelude, Boka Vanguard: these are the most impressive ships ever built.

In this video, discover the biggest floating structures ever built by man: the Prelude FLNG and the Boka Vanguard. The Prelude FLNG is a giant floating plant used to extract natural gas from the open sea. The second, even more impressive, is used to transport entire ships and gigantic oil platforms...

A true feat of engineering, these vessels have to overcome real technical challenges to accomplish their mission. In this video, I invite you to discover how they work and how they were built, through captivating images! Enjoy the video
