Tullow Ghana has been recognized as the Most Transparent Shipper and Best Company in Local Content Delivery at the fifth edition of the Ghana Shippers Awards held over the weekend.
The Ghana Shippers Awards provides a platform to recognize individuals and
companies that play a significant role in the growth and development of the
industry while recognizing the key functions within the industry that promote
growth and sustainability.
The Most Transparent Shipper recognition was based on Tullow’s policy of being
transparent and providing accurate data regarding the shipping of logistics and
materials for its business. The company has promoted a positive reputation for
itself in this regard by paying all customs processing fees and levies,
exhibiting faithful representation in the declaration of accurate import
invoice values to the Ghana Revenue Authority with minimum or no queries
received during Customs Classification Valuation.
On the best Company in Local Content Delivery Award, Tullow demonstrated its strong
support for local content in the oil and gas industry by continuously pursuing
targeted supplier development initiatives to build the capacity of local
companies to take up some projects, as well as reserving key projects for local
businesses. Out of a total of $16.83 billion value of contracts awarded over
the period 2010-2021, $11.24Bn worth of contracts has been awarded local
participation.
A statement from Tullow Ghana said the recognition by the prestigious Ghana
Shippers Awards is a great acknowledgement of Tullow’s commitment to
transparency and increased contribution to local capacity development in the
oil and gas industry in Ghana.
The Awards is an annual event held under the auspices of the Ministry of
Transport, the Ghana Shipping Authority and the Ghana Maritime Authority to
