President John Dramani Mahama has commissioned the Sahara LPG Vessel in the South Korea, describing the development as a major step toward strengthening energy security and improving the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) supply chain in Ghana and across West Africa.
The commissioning ceremony brought together government officials, industry stakeholders, and international partners who gathered to witness the launch of the state-of-the-art vessel designed to enhance the transportation and distribution of LPG within the region.
Addressing the gathering on Thursday, March 12, President Mahama said the vessel would help ensure a more reliable energy supply for countries that depend partly on LPG imports.
“Today, we celebrate not only engineering excellence but also the power of partnership. The commissioning of this state-of-the-art, dual-fuel, fully refrigerated LPG carrier reflects the collective vision and collaboration of stakeholders committed to advancing safe, efficient, and responsible energy distribution,” he said.
According to the President, the vessel forms part of broader efforts to strengthen the LPG value chain, improve supply reliability, and support the growing energy needs of Ghana and other countries in West Africa.
