POSH Terasea secured a project to provide towage and positioning services for the Shell Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) platform. 

As part of the project, POSH Terasea will tow the Shell Prelude FLNG over 3000nm from Samsung Shipyard in Geoje, South Korea, where it is being built, to Australia, where it will be deployed. It will then position the FLNG before it begins production at the Prelude gas field in the Browse LNG basin, 200km off the northwest coast of Australia. POSH Terasea will be in charge of the overall towage project management.

For the project, POSH Terasea will deploy five vessels: namely four large anchor handling and towage vessels, the Terasea Osprey, Terasea Falcon, Terasea Hawk, Terasea Eagle; and one 16,000 BHP anchor handling tug supply vessel, the POSH Champion

The Shell Prelude FLNG facility is 488m long and 74m wide and has a fully loaded displacement capacity of about 600,000-ton. It has around 260,000-tonne of steel in the facility alone, around five times the amount of steel used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
