History
The terminal design was originally drafted in 2015. In 2018, the government considered relocating the terminal but rejected this idea because the new proposed site was reserved for a planned offshore wind farm.[1] On 8 October 2018, the terminal project passed its environmental impact assessment.[2] The construction of the terminal is expected to be completed by 2025.[3]
Architecture
The terminal will span an area of 9 km2.[4] The original location of the terminal was proposed to be 455 meters from the coastline. However, due to pressure from environmental activists over to the existence of a sensitive coral reef in the nearby area, the terminal was redesigned to be 750 meters further away, with a total distance of around 1.2 km out to the sea from the shoreline. The relocation design was expected to add NT$15 billion to the cost of the project, for an estimated total cost of NT$75 billion.[3]
