Hopewell Holdings eyes Philippine roro infrastructure
Hong Kong firm Hopewell Holdings Ltd. is planning to participate in the government’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program by investing in a transport linkage between Luzon and the Visayas.
Hopewell is eyeing a toll road and RORO (roll on roll off) terminal in order to connect the islands.
Hopewell has expressed interest to invest in toll roads and putting up ferry service for cargo trucks and buses to further connect Luzon – with San Juan, Batangas as starting point — to the central business hubs of the Visayas.
Another Hong Kong-based firm to have expressed its willingness to ramp up its investments in the Philippines is Energy World Corp (EWC).
EWC is looking to provide a possible solution to the enormous power requirements of the Tampakan Xstrata mining project. EWC has proposed setting up an LNG terminal and storage-hub that will house a 500-megawatt gas-fired power facility. The gas tankers of EWC will source LNG from Papua New Guinea and Australia and Indonesia.
