Ocean Tanker Wharf | Ghana’s Emerging Marine Logistics Hub

A Strategic Marine Infrastructure Development

About the Project

The Ocean Tanker Wharf (OTW) is a planned 1,300-meter rubble mound breakwater system designed to create a sheltered marine basin for offshore berthing, bunkering, marine logistics, and petroleum export operations.

1 km east of the CBM offshore terminal

10 km from Tema Port anchorage

Within Ghana’s primary petroleum and industrial corridor

Market Opportunity

Addressing Critical Gap

West Africa currently lacks a dedicated offshore bunkering and marine services hub capable of efficiently supporting regional maritime operations.

Industry Challenges:

Vessels preload fuel outside the region
Higher marine operating costs
Underdeveloped support infrastructure
Limited waste oil management facilities
