Bureau Veritas appointed consultant for gas & LNG complex in central Vietnam

Bureau Veritas Vietnam has been appointed by Anh Phat Construction Investment and Trading Corp. as the construction supervision consultant for phase 2 of a gas and LNG complex in central Vietnam.

The complex, located in Nghi Son Economic Zone, Thanh Hoa province, will be expanded to upgrade facilities for supplying gasoline and LNG to Vietnam's northern and north-central regions.

With a total investment of more than $100 million, the complex will play a key role in Vietnam’s energy security.

It will feature a 16.5-hectare bonded warehouse, a port to host ships of up to 30,000 tons, and a wharf to receive vessels of up to 70,000 tons. It will also offer supporting services in oil refining and petrochemicals.

Currently, the facility’s warehouse is 15.3 hectares, while the port can accommodate ships of up to 5,000 tons.

In November, Bureau Veritas Vietnam was appointed as the project management consultant for the refrigerated LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) storage terminals by Yen Hung Petrochemical JSC located at Bac Tien Phong Industrial Zone, Quang Ninh province.

Upon completion, a total capacity of 176,400 cubic meters of LPG will be stored in the terminals which comprises one cold LPG storage (with a capacity of 160,000 m3) and one pressurized LPG storage (with a capacity of circa 16,400 m3).
