AMSOL Group, a leading specialist marine solutions provider with a Ghanaian base, has achieved a remarkable milestone with the launch of a bunker tanker at the Tema Port.
The christening of the vessel, named Densu River is said to holds symbolic importance, showcasing AMSOL’s commitment to supporting the growth and development of Ghana’s maritime sector while paying homage to the country’s rich heritage.
The Densu River, spanning over 2400 square kilometers and serving communities across the Greater Accra, Eastern, and Central Regions of Ghana, holds not only ecological significance as a vital water source but also embodies cultural and historical value.
In recent years, AMSOL in Ghana has played a crucial role in the country’s maritime activities, including delivering marine fuel to international oil companies and fishing industry clients off Tema on behalf of the Ghana Oil Company (GOIL).
The renaming of the vessel to ‘Densu River’, after a drydock project in Tema, further underscores AMSOL’s commitment to local empowerment and indigenization efforts within the maritime sector.
CEO of AMSOL Ghana, Kojo Quainoo, expressed his pride and optimism about the renaming of the vessel, emphasizing its alignment with Ghana’s maritime future and reflecting the company’s deep-rooted ties to the local economy, saying that the majority Ghanaian crew onboard the bunker tanker serves as a testament to AMSOL’s commitment to enhancing local capacity building and contributing to economic prosperity in the region.
Mr. Quainoo highlighted the strategic vision of AMSOL Ghana in providing specialized marine solutions tailored to meet client needs while managing operational risks effectively.
Looking ahead with optimism and ambition, Mr. Quainoo revealed plans for another bunker tanker in the near future, affirming AMSOL’s commitment to continuous expansion and innovation in meeting evolving industry demands.
