The Bulk Oil Storage and Transport Company, BOST is positioning itself to become one of the most efficient players in Ghana’s energy sector. In its quest to achieve this feat, BOST has launched an ambitious project; Operation 24.
Operation 24 is a systematic upgrading process currently ongoing within all BOST facilities nationwide. As part of operation 24, all machines within BOST facilities are being upgraded.
The upgrade, expected to be completed by the end of the year, involves automation of all BOST operations to reduce human involvement in all levels of BOST operations. Flow meters are also being installed as a means of preventing product losses whiles high capacity pumps are also being fixed to help in faster and more efficient product delivery. Roads leading to the various depots as well as those within the various facilities are all being given a significant facelift.
These upgrades when completed are expected to help revitalize BOST and make it more relevant in the energy sector. Operation 24 will make BOST one of the leading logistics company operating within the West African Subregion.
Corporate Communication Manager of BOST, Salifu Nat Acheampong who spoke to Winners FM during a media tour of BOST facilities nationwide said “BOST, as part of its efforts to reduce product and consequently, financial losses, is partnering with TSL Logistics Ghana Limited for the ongoing systems upgrade. TSL apart from investing in the company is also taking charge of terminal operations in BOST depots throughout the country for a number of years with a piloting currently underway in the various depots”.
BOST has been embarking on a countrywide media tour of its facilities to enlighten the media on its activities and future projects. The last leg of the tour took selected journalists in the Southern zone of the country to BOST’s Akosombo, Maame Water and Accra Plains Depots.
