Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has received approximately one million barrels of Bonga Crude Oil aboard the MT Cap Felix as part of ongoing efforts to revive refinery operations and strengthen Ghana’s energy security.
The crude cargo was purchased from Shell and supplied through TOR’s tolling partner, Fujeirah/Triangle Commodities Trading (TCT), under an arrangement designed to support the refinery’s operational recovery and ensure a steady supply of petroleum products to the Ghanaian market.
According to TOR, the arrival of the Bonga Crude marks another major milestone in restoring stable refining activities and reducing Ghana’s dependence on imported refined petroleum products.
The refinery explained that the high-quality low-sulphur crude is expected to yield significant volumes of LPG, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, aviation turbine fuel (ATK), and fuel oil for both domestic and regional markets.
Management of TOR expressed appreciation to the Government of Ghana, regulatory institutions, financial partners, and stakeholders for their continued support toward the refinery’s operational resurgence.
TOR further reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, operational excellence, environmental responsibility, and the long term transformation of the refinery into a commercially sustainable energy hub for Ghana and the West African sub-region.
