Management of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has procured and handed over a new fleet of operational vehicles and equipment to staff as part of efforts to enhance efficiency and support the refinery’s day-to-day activities.

The fleet includes eight brand new Mitsubishi vehicles, three Toyota Coaster buses, two industrial forklifts and other essential operational vehicles. According to management, the acquisition is aimed at improving logistics, facilitating operations and boosting overall productivity at the refinery.

The Board Chairman of TOR, Nayon Bilijo, officially commissioned the fleet and approved its immediate deployment to relevant departments for official and operational use.

He disclosed that the vehicles and equipment were procured in 2025 using the refinery’s Internally Generated Funds (IGF) by the new management, underscoring the company’s commitment to prudent financial management and operational improvement.

Mr Bilijo noted that the acquisition marks the first major logistical upgrade at the refinery in twelve years, with the last significant intervention dating back to 2013. He acknowledged that the prolonged lack of adequate operational logistics had negatively affected productivity and slowed the refinery’s overall progress.

Management also used the occasion to express appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama and the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, for their continued support and commitment to the refinery.

In addition, the management commended the workforce of Tema Oil Refinery for their dedication and cooperation, describing their efforts as critical to the refinery’s ongoing recovery and operational turnaround. See the pictures below:
