CPC Corp. has broken ground on two new 180,000-cu m full-containment LNG tanks as part of its Taichung Phase III LNG terminal expansion in Taichung, Taiwan. Bechtel Corp. will execute engineering, procurement, and construction of the tanks, scheduled for 2026 completion.

Post-expansion terminal capacity will be 10 million tonnes/year (tpy).

CPC earlier this year awarded Daigas Gas and Power Solution Co. Ltd. a front-end engineering and design and technical consulting services contract for Taichung Phase IV expansion to 13 million tpy, scheduled for completion by 2029 (OGJ Online, Apr. 7, 2022).

Expansion will include four 180,000-cu m/year tanks, additional regasification capacity, and an additional jetty.
