Why It Matters

01

Speed & Efficiency

Shorter routes accelerate deliveries and optimize fleet utilization.

02

Safety & Reliability

Modern engineering, monitoring, and redundancy enhance resilience.

03

ESG Leadership

Lower emissions, strong environmental standards, and community investment.

04

Economic Impact

Jobs, local procurement, and broader regional development.

About the Project

Spanning approximately 320 kilometers, the TGP integrates three large-diameter pipelines with advanced pumping, storage, and export systems. Its coastal terminals are compatible with Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) and supported by modern offshore loading systems. This configuration enables large-scale, bidirectional cargo movement and enhances trade flexibility.

By providing an alternative to traditional maritime routes through congested or politically sensitive chokepoints, the TGP improves supply chain resilience and facilitates reliable, on-time delivery to high-demand markets.

Impact & Opportunity

TGP delivers durable advantages for markets and communities:

  • Trade Growth – Strengthens competitiveness by improving access to key markets.
  • Job Creation – Significant employment during construction and operations.
  • Regional Development – Supports local economies and related infrastructure.
  • Lower Emissions – Shorter voyages reduce carbon emissions over the project lifetime.
  • Environmental Safeguards – Advanced monitoring and eco‑sensitive methods protect local environments.

Project Roadmap & Status

Global Market Relevance

Links Atlantic producers to Asia-Pacific demand, improving arrival windows and route flexibility. By bypassing congested chokepoints and shortening voyage distances, TGP provides a competitive, secure supply route that complements existing infrastructure and supports balanced market access.

Map & Timeline

A 320 km corridor from Puerto Santo Tomás de Castilla (Atlantic) to Puerto San José (Pacific), delivered in phased milestones covering detailed engineering, permitting, EPC mobilization, terminal readiness, and commissioning—enabling bidirectional flows and VLCC-compatible offshore loading.

Project Status

Due diligence is complete; phased EPC mobilization and permitting are advancing, alongside stakeholder engagement and environmental baselines—positioning the project for on-time execution and risk-managed delivery.

Why It Matters

Cuts transit times by bypassing bottlenecks, enhances energy security through route diversification, and supports lower-carbon logistics via shorter voyages and modern environmental safeguards.
