Ghana's second FPSO officially named after late Prez Mills

Ghana’s second Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel (FPSO) has been formally named after the Late President John Mills in Singapore.

The Vessel which is being constructed by MODEC has the capacity to produce 80,000 barrels a day from crude oil deposits of almost 1 billion barrels.

It could also produce approximately 30 to 50million cubic feet of gas.

Lordina Mahama, who led Ghana’s delegation to the naming ceremony of the FPSO said the vessel was named after the late President Mills to pay tribute to his achievements and leadership.

Petroleum Minister Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah told the media the vessel when operational will ease the power crisis and create jobs in the country.

He said the vessel will sail to Ghana by December.
