An LNG carrier has signalled it will arrive at Shell’s giant floating LNG (FLNG) production unit Prelude off northwest Australia as the floater prepares to export a first cargo after four months of shutdown enforced by regulators.

Eikland Energy data service iGIS/LNG said the 170,700-cbm Methane Becki Anne (built 2010) is scheduled to arrive at Prelude today in ballast.
