Maritime & Port Engineering

Ferries provide a safe and reliable link across bodies of water for commuters in major metropolitan areas where tunnels and bridges are not available or can be less reliable. Ports are usually equipped with the necessary terminal facilities to expedite the movement of cargo and passengers at any stage of a journey, and they must have a safe anchorage deep enough for large ships and a direct channel to open water.

An efficient port must have enough room for docks, warehouses and loading and unloading machinery. At Lipaña, we know that maritime and port engineering requires particular expertise consisting of sound technical knowledge coupled with practical experience in the operation and maintenance of facilities, infrastructure and systems that interface with the maritime environment. We have experience spanning all aspects of planning, design and construction of ports, harbours, canals, shorelines and other marine facilities. Whether partnering with government agencies or working with owners and companies, our experience allows us to satisfy our clients’ particular requirements.

We have the expertise to address every stage of projects from scoping and concept design, preparing feasibility studies, repairing or expanding existing infrastructure, through to the operation and management of facilities. Our structural, civil, mechanical, electrical and automation engineers can provide experience based solutions and innovation to connect communities and markets through safe and efficient access to waterways and ports.
