Ghana’s premier refinery, the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), has procured a brand-new fleet of vehicles to significantly enhance operational efficiency following the recent restart of crude oil refining at an initial capacity of 28,000 barrels per stream day—a development that has renewed hope among petroleum consumers in the West African nation.
The fleet comprises eight brand-new Mitsubishi vehicles, three Toyota Coaster buses, two industrial forklifts, and several other essential operational vehicles to support the refinery’s day-to-day activities.
This portal understands that the last time the refinery procured such a substantial transport fleet was around 2013, and the prolonged absence of adequate logistics had adversely affected productivity and slowed overall operations.
Management believes the procurement of the new fleet is a timely intervention, as the company has for a long time been confronted with severe logistical constraints.
According to management, all the vehicles were procured using internally generated funds (IGF) from the company’s operations in 2025 under the current leadership.
The new fleet was officially commissioned by the Board Chairman of TOR, Hon. Nayon Bilijo, who authorised its immediate deployment for official and operational use.
Management expressed gratitude to the President of the Republic, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, and the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Jinapor, for their steadfast support, strategic direction and unwavering commitment to the refinery.
“Management deeply acknowledges your guidance, leadership and resolute agenda aimed at ensuring the sustainable success and revitalisation of the refinery,” a statement issued by TOR said.
Management further commended the entire workforce for their resilience, dedication and unwavering support from the initial restart of operations to the present.
