Malaysian contractor Gamuda Berhad has secured a contract to build a wharf and connecting roads (bridges) for the Kaohsiung Port Intercontinental LNG terminal in Taiwan.

\n\n

Awarded by Taiwan International Ports Corp Ltd (Kaohsiung branch), the state-owned port authority managing the Port of Kaohsiung, with a contract sum of approximately RM3.72 billion, the project will be carried out in a joint venture between Gamuda (70%) and Taiwan-based company Dong Pi Co Limited (30%).

\n\n

In its statement, Gamuda said the project will involve the construction of a 2.193-km seawall (with 87 caissons), a 1.2-km connecting bridge, a 729-m wharf, a number of platforms (unloading platform, connecting platform and turning platform), as well as caisson docks (berthing dock, mooring dock, service platform and vehicle access platform).

\n\n

Scheduled for completion in five years, the project aims to establish a complete and secure process for offshore unloading and onshore receiving of LNG and to ensure the efficient import, storage and regasification of LNG for delivery to Dalin and surrounding users.

\n\n

According to Gamuda, the project will also incorporate eco-friendly materials and sustainable landscaping, while ensuring safety and accessibility for rural areas in compliance with applicable laws and regulations – all aimed at achieving better social equality and creating social benefit initiatives within the local community.

US-based contractor Bechtel, CPC Corporation and Ming Rong Yuan Business Co Ltd (MRY) have broken ground on the project to design and build LNG tanks for the CPC Taichung Phase III LNG import terminal in Taichung, Taiwan.

\n\n

To meet increasing demand for natural gas and to enhance the stability of natural gas supplies in Taiwan, CPC is expanding its facility to include two full containment tanks and associated regasification facilities.

\n\n

In this project, Bechtel will carry out engineering, procurement and construction of two 180,000-cu-m full containment LNG tanks. This is believed to be Taiwan’s largest LNG storage tanks ever built.

\n\n

CPC aims to meet Taiwan’s clean energy aspirations by rapidly expanding the LNG import terminals in the country to support the move from coal to natural gas as its primary transitional source of energy for the near future.

\n\n

“Today marks another important step toward meeting the increasing demand for natural gas. Together with CPC Corporation and MRY, we are delivering cleaner, greener and safer energy to Taiwan, supporting both their energy growth and security,” said Paul Marsden, president of Bechtel Energy.

\n\n

“To power the needs of the world, we need LNG and storage capability which is what we are doing here on this site today, by celebrating the start of construction on the largest storage tanks ever to be built in Taiwan.”
