The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has revealed that government has initiated processes for the construction of a new Offshore Mooring Facility to address infrastructure challenges affecting Ghana\u2019s downstream petroleum sector.<\/p>\n

During his visit to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) on Wednesday, October 15, Dr Jinapor explained that the project would significantly ease the infrastructure burden and reduce costs associated with fuel importation and distribution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project is expected to significantly ease the infrastructure burden, address the bottlenecks, and reduce laycan-related costs and delays,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged that the sector has long faced operational challenges, particularly those relating to laycan allocation and demurrage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cChallenges such as laycan allocation and delays in discharge leading to demurrage have become recurring issues, undermining efficiency in fuel importation and distribution,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Dr Jinapor said that while the Laycan Allocation Committee had improved coordination, a more permanent solution was necessary to sustain efficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though the Laycan Allocation Committee has brought about some level of efficiency, as a government, we are determined to permanently resolve the challenge,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He assured that the new offshore facility, once completed, would be \u201ca game changer for the entire downstream supply chain,\u201d enhancing the sector\u2019s resilience and competitiveness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
