LPG vessel signals progress for Africa’s Energy future – President Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has called for increased investment and collaboration in Africa’s energy sector following the commissioning of the LPG vessel MT Asharami Ghana in the Republic of Korea.
Speaking after the commissioning ceremony on Thursday, March 12, President Mahama described the vessel as a major step toward strengthening energy supply and improving access to clean energy across Ghana and the wider West African region.
The project, he said, demonstrates the critical role of international partnerships in advancing infrastructure development and ensuring a reliable energy supply for emerging economies across the African continent.
“The commissioning of this vessel underscores the enduring value of international cooperation. It reflects the strength of partnerships between Africa and our friends around the world, partnerships built on mutual respect, shared prosperity, and a common commitment to sustainable development,” said John Dramani Mahama.
He also urged governments, investors, and industry stakeholders to sustain efforts that promote the expansion of clean energy and drive inclusive economic growth across the continent.
“May the LPG vessel MT Asharami Ghana stand as a symbol of progress, one that inspires further investment, innovation, and collaboration across Africa’s energy value chain,” he stated.
