Energy major Shell has restarted its Prelude floating LNG production unit off northwest Australia after taking the unit offline in August.

Reuters reported that the 3.6-million-tonnes-per-annum unit has already resumed operations and said the first cargo could be loaded shortly.

It named the Shell-chartered, 174,000-cbm Orion Bohemia (built 2022) as one of the vessels close to the world’s largest LNG floater.
