Sodexo to provide facilities management services for Prelude FLNG

Shell on Thursday contracted Sodexo Australia to provide offshore facilities management services for the Prelude Floating LNG facilities.

Under the agreement, Sodexo will oversee the accommodation management, waste management, housekeeping and laundry services for the 600,000-tonne facility, a statement by the Melbourne-based company reveals.

Sodexo will also provide commissioning support in Geoje, South Korea, ensuring the living quarters are comfortable and to Australian safety standards.

It will also provide technical services and administration support as well as ensure health and well-being of personnel.

Once completed, the FLNG facility, that is currently being built at Samsung Heavy Industries’ Geoje Island shipyards in South Korea, will be located at the Prelude gas field some 475 kilometres north-northeast of Broome, Western Australia.
