\n
Tullow Ghana has taken delivery of the MV Flat Confidence vessel, the first Ghanaian-owned, Ghanaian-flagged marine vessel to support offshore activities in the oil and gas industry in Ghana, following successful Offshore Vessel Inspection Database (OVID) testing on 5 November 2021.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In 2020, Tullow Ghana embarked on an initiative to develop the local capacity of the oil and gas industry through the adoption of the marine sector with the aim of creating opportunities for indigenous Ghanaian companies to own and operate vessels to support the oil and gas industry, and upscale the capacity of Ghanaian personnel in the marine sector. The MV Flat Confidence was acquired by Flat C Marine Offshore Limited following a long-term contract granted by Tullow Ghana that enabled the company to raise finances to procure the vessel.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The presence of the Flat Confidence vessel reflects Tullow\u2019s commitment to develop and support capability growth to international standards in marine sectors. The marine sector adoption initiative aims at enhancing indigenous participation with 100% Ghanaian-owned and operationally Ghanaian-flagged offshore vessels. This is also part of Tullow\u2019s Shared Prosperity agenda which includes optimising local content and developing supplier capacity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Tullow Ghana MD, Wissam Al Monthiry commented: \u201cAs a leading oil and gas company in Ghana, we recognise the active leadership role we must play to develop local capacity for participation in the oil and gas industry. That is why last year, we adopted the marine sector to develop local capacity in that sector to support the oil industry. We are extremely happy to have achieved this and we appreciate our key stakeholders, Joint Venture Partners, Government of Ghana, Ports and Harbours Authority, the Ministry of Energy and the Petroleum Commission for their efforts in helping us make this possible. Hopefully this is the start of something progressive.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The 71-meter long and 19-meter wide vessel will be operational in the Western region of Ghana and will support the work of Tullow Ghana\u2019s two FPSOs \u2013 Kwame Nkrumah and John Evans Atta Mills.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
