The assignment covers front-end engineering design (FEED) studies for the onshore LNG receiving terminal and associated marine infrastructure, alongside an environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) for the entire plant. The scope includes jetty design, onshore LNG terminal facilities, associated infrastructure, and onshore and offshore surveys. The planned development will integrate an onshore LNG receiving terminal with the 1.5 GW power plant.

The project aims to expand and diversify Vietnam’s power generation capacity, meet growing electricity demand and strengthen energy security. AFRY’s appointment brings together engineering, marine infrastructure, environmental assessment and site survey expertise to support the project’s development.
