Dutch consulting engineer Royal Haskoning has been chosen to design an artificial island in Vietnam, according to a statement on the company’s website.

The man-made island, in the shape of Vietnam’s national flower the lotus, will be located at the South East coast of Phu Quoc Island and will be part of a larger waterfront and coastal development by TTC Land Estate Investment Group.

The signing ceremony for the contract took place at the end of April at the Vietnamese Embassy in The Hague in the presence of Her Excellency, Madame Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen thi Kim Ngan.

Royal Haskoning is tasked with the design of the land reclamation, breakwater, beaches and revetments, and will undertake a water quality study to ensure the island is sustainable and climate proof.

The firm said the island would “boost tourism to Phu Quoc and benefit the local economy by providing jobs and business opportunities”.

Royal Haskoning was previously involved in the design of Palm Island in Dubai.
