Ghanaian-owned vessel wins Fuel Efficiency Award

Recognising fuel efficiency in Africa

GHANA: Opsealog, a provider of data integration and performance management services for the marine offshore industry, has announced Tullow Ghana’s MV Flat Confidence as the inaugural winner of its Fuel Efficiency Award. 

The Fuel Efficiency Award was launched to recognise and celebrate measurable, data-driven performance improvements in fuel efficiency performance across offshore support fleets, spanning all vessel types.

MV Flat Confidence is a Ghanaian-owned Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel (AHTS) supporting Tullow’s operations in Ghana. Tullow Ghana’s vessel was recognised for consistent fuel efficiency improvements achieved through disciplined best-practice application over a full year.

According to Opsealog’s assessment, the vessel delivered a 732.6 m³ reduction in fuel consumption, resulting in 1,984 tonnes of CO₂ avoided. It also recorded a 95% best-practices application rate in on-field standby, highlighting the impact of sustained operational discipline in high-activity marine offshore environments such as the Ghanaian waters.

“The success of MV Flat Confidence reinforces the strong values and commitment we apply to our operations as a company. Driving operational excellence, safety and efficiency continue to elevate our performance as a leading operator in Ghana’s oil and gas industry,” said  Samuel Kwesi Dickson, Head of Materials and Logistics at Tullow Ghana.
