The \u00a0Bulk Oil storage and Transport (BOST) is to provide tight security along\u00a0its pipelines which would be laid from Akosombo to the Accra Plains to avoid stealing or siphoning of fuel.<\/p>\n
Managing Director of BOST, Kingsley Awuah Darko said as part of security measures, the new pipelines will be fitted with fibre optic surveillance, alarms, motion sensors, rapid response surveillance, among others, to ensure people do not siphon fuel from the pipelines.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”CMOMCNYzdZfPW8ILYr8oVobmCKwL3ZXd”]According to him, the old Akosombo-Accra pipeline which had been dormant for eight years due to constant siphoning of fuel from it, would also be repaired and become operational.<\/p>\n
Mr Awuah Darko said this in Kumasi during an inspection of BOST facilities and installations in Kumasi and also to ascertain the performance of TSL Logistics, after a year of management of BOST facilities.<\/p>\n
He was accompanied on the tour by the Minister of Petroleum, Emmanuel Armah Kofi-Buah, the Board Chairman of BOST, Kakra Essamuah, officials of BOST and the Ministry of Petroleum.<\/p>\n
He said a new pipeline being laid by BOST at Pumpuni in the Western Region will be ready by June 2016 and it will consolidate the gains of BOST to meet the expectations of its stakeholders and the good people of Ghana.
\nThe BOST MD added that his outfit is also working on rejuvenating its pipelines at Bolga in the Upper East region to serve those from the Sahalian region such as Mali, Burkina Faso and others.<\/p>\n
Armah \u2013Kofi Buah, urged the staff at the depot to work hard as the future of the depot was in their hands.<\/p>\n
He warned the workers against thievery, adding that, anyone who had cheated or stolen from the company would one day be exposed and would pay for it.<\/p>\n
He said BOST was working very hard to change the system whereby state institutions, which are supposed to make profit for Government, would rather go back to Government to borrow because they are running at a loss.<\/p>\n
He expressed satisfaction with the level of work done by TSL Logistics, who are partly the managers of BOST depots, as they had helped to improve on the safety, security, health and standards.<\/p>\n
