Following completion of the feasibility study and front-end engineering design (FEED) phases, Wood will manage and supervise delivery of the project on BSR's behalf - covering design and engineering review, procurement, and contract management, project controls, quality, HSSE, construction management, and commissioning support.

The upgraded facility will also produce fuels that meet Euro 5 emission standards, supporting Vietnam's environmental objectives and regulatory requirements. At a signing ceremony in Hanoi earlier this month, John Mtanios, Wood's President of APAC, said: "We are delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with BSR on this strategically important project for Vietnam. Having supported BSR for more than 30 years, delivering feasibility Studies, FEED, and PMC services, we are proud to contribute to the country's energy security ambitions while supporting the production of cleaner, more sustainable fuels."
