The Public-Private Partnership Centre of the Republic of the Philippines has issued the Project Preparation Study (PPS) for the Tri-City Ferry System Project. The scope of the project involves financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the three ferry terminals in the cities of Alaminos, Dagupan, and San Fernando.

The PPS covers environmental and social assessment for the project to ensure that all aspects related to environmental and social safeguards, and necessary mitigation measures are considered. The study will also prepare a climate and disaster risk vulnerability assessment to identify potential threats and risks due to climate and geo-hazard conditions in the service areas.

The consulting team, a joint venture between Philkoei International, Inc. (PKII) and KPMG R.G. Manabat & Co. (KPMG) engaged by the Cities Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA), will prepare the feasibility study, PPP contract, and bid documents for the project.
