The Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors, Senyo Hosi, has said it is possible for Ghana to be supplied with \u2018safe\u2019 fuel but the process will come at extra cost to country.<\/p>\n
Speaking on\u00a0Eyewitness News<\/strong>, Senyo Hosi said \u201cyou don\u2019t just change standards in a country, it can have implications…there is a logistical constraint. If Ghana wants to go the spec that we are looking for, the product is accessible but it also comes at a premium\u201d.<\/p>\n He noted that, Ghana, which currently shares oil vessel with Nigeria, will no longer have that advantage since the country would have to incur extra cost for a dedicated vessel\u00a0to reduce\u00a0the\u00a0part per million (ppm) sulphur in its fuel.<\/p>\n He explained that, \u201cBecause we share the same spec of diesel with Nigeria, a huge vessel could just move out of Europe and the cost per metric ton of a liter to business and the consumer will become minimal when Ghana alone moves, you will just have a dedicated [vessel]\u00a0coming just for Ghana and other compartments separately; so the cost for Ghana goes up a little more. If we are willing to bear that cost that is not a problem\u201d<\/p>\n
