This LNG terminal represents an important step in strengthening energy security in the Philippines. With the country’s primary gas source in decline, a new facility was needed that could import LNG via a moored Floating Storage Regasification Unit while also remaining compatible with legacy supply infrastructure. Verbrec was engaged under an EPC arrangement to provide full engineering design across both marine and land-based environments in one of Southeast Asia’s most seismically active regions.
Seismic resilient design
Flexible high-pressure piping engineered.
Grid-compliant power systems
HV, MV and LV electrical distribution designed.
Dual gas source capability
System configured for seamless gas delivery.
Integrated control and safety systems
Fire protection, shutdown, regulation and custody metering incorporated.
This flexible setup was designed to ensure stable gas delivery to four adjacent power plants while supporting current operations and adapting to the country’s future energy mix. The project required a carefully integrated design response that could bridge new import infrastructure with existing supply arrangements without compromising reliability.
The design included offshore wharf infrastructure, high-pressure gas loading arms, wharf and land-based piping networks, seawater and freshwater fire systems, gas metering, regulation, control systems and emergency shutdown systems, along with earthing and lightning protection. Verbrec also designed the full electrical power system for the terminal, spanning HV, MV and LV distribution for both offshore and onshore facilities, all developed to national safety standards and integrated with the Philippine grid for fault-tolerant operation.
The terminal’s coastal location lies in a high seismic hazard zone with liquefiable soils, so Verbrec developed flexible piping systems to absorb differential movement between piled structures and shifting ground. By working closely with marine and structural teams, key interface challenges were resolved early and complex design intent was translated into buildable outcomes. The result is a practical, future-facing terminal that now plays a vital role in supporting energy continuity in the Philippines and is better prepared to meet the country’s evolving needs.
Through collaborative engineering, seismic resilience and system flexibility, this LNG terminal now plays a vital role in ensuring energy continuity for the Philippines.
