BOSTenergies has denied that the recent decline in fuel exports to Burkina Faso and Mali signals an impending shortage in Ghana. The company said the reduction stems largely from the ongoing overhaul of its northernmost depot in Bolgatanga, a key gateway into the Sahelian market, amid fluctuating international prices.
In a statement, BOSTenergies stressed that no rationing of fuel has been implemented on any basis and that the domestic supply remains secure. The firm added that regional deliveries to Burkina Faso and Mali have been maintained through bulk road vehicles ferrying product from its Tema coastal depot.
Under normal operations, the company transports fuel northward via an integrated pipeline and barge network that links its southern and northern depots, allowing competitive pricing while preserving profit margins. Full regional capacity is expected once the Bolgatanga depot refurbishment is complete.
BOSTenergies also rejected claims that political, security or diplomatic factors influenced the export cut, affirming that no such considerations played a role.
The clarification follows media reports of comments by Managing Director Afetsi Awoonor about the company’s fuel volumes to the Sahel. BOSTenergies reiterated its commitment to regional fuel security and its cooperation with government and partners to expedite the depot’s completion.
