Management of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has officially procured and handed over a new fleet of vehicles aimed at significantly enhancing the refinery’s operational efficiency and strengthening day-to-day activities.
The newly acquired fleet comprises eight brand new Mitsubishi vehicles, three Toyota Coaster buses, two industrial forklifts, and other essential operational vehicles to support operations across the refinery.
The logistical intervention comes at a critical time, as the refinery has, for several years, faced severe logistical constraints.
Management noted that the last major logistical support of this nature was provided in 2013, and the prolonged absence of adequate operational vehicles adversely affected productivity and slowed overall progress.
The fleet was officially commissioned by the Board Chairman, Nayon Bilijo, who authorised its immediate deployment for official and operational use.
Management disclosed that the vehicles were procured using the refinery’s Internally Generated Funds (IGF), generated in 2025 under the new management. The company stated that, similar to other recent works, no external funding was used for the acquisition.
The management expressed appreciation to the President of the Republic, John Dramani Mahama, and the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, for their support, strategic direction, and commitment to the refinery’s revitalisation agenda.
It also commended the refinery’s workforce for their resilience, dedication, and continued support, describing their efforts as critical to the ongoing efforts to ensure the sustainable success of the Tema Oil Refinery.
