Chevron Lubricants Viet Nam’s plant expansion project kicked off on Wednesday in Dinh Vu Industrial Zone, Hai Phong.

Petrolimex Engineering Joint Stock Company (PEC) and Petrolimex Construction and Installation Company (PCC-1) are the two main contractors of the project.

Speaking at the ceremony, Nguyen Dat Phu, general director of Chevron Lubricants Viet Nam Co Ltd in Hai Phong, said PEC and PCC-1 were two leading companies in the field of design, supervision and construction of petrochemical projects in Viet Nam, therefore, Chervon Viet Nam was confident in delivering this Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) package to PEC.

Petrolimex’s deputy general director and PEC’s chairman Vuong Thai Dung also told PEC and PCC-1 to prioritise safety during the project implementation, ensuring progress as well as quality to assert the corporation’s trademark and reputation in the field of consulting, design and construction.

Chevron’s Hai Phong lubricant factory was put into operation in 1999 at Dinh Vu Industrial Zone, Hai An, Hai Phong. The factory had an initial designed capacity of 15 million litres per year. — VNS
