Update of the Feasibility Study for the Sangley Seaport and Airport Project

Challenge

The Philippine Global Gateway (PGG) project comprised the seaport and the airport development in Sangley with related land reclamation and included an analysis of economic zones' activities influencing the seaport. The Client requested an update on the Pre-Feasibility Study of 2014. HPC carried out the components of the seaport, economic zone and land reclamation development. In order not to increase road congestion by truck transports further, the location on reclaimed land off Cavite was developed, i.e. in vicinity to the most significant production clusters in the Philippines, which are for the most part located south of Metro Manila.
