Asharami Ghana Launches New LPG Storage Facility in 2026

Asharami Ghana, a subsidiary of Sahara Group, has officially commissioned a 6,000-metric-tonne Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage facility at the Tema Oil Jetty, which expands Ghana's LPG storage capacity by approximately 10%. This announcement was made by Bethel Obioma, Head of Corporate Communications at Sahara Group, on October 6, 2026.

The facility represents the first phase of a planned 12,000-metric-tonne terminal and is integral to Sahara Group's strategy for integrated LPG infrastructure, which includes shipping, storage, and distribution. Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority, praised the project for its significant contribution to Ghana's downstream petroleum infrastructure.

The facility features advanced systems for safety and efficiency, including two propane-rated spherical tanks, six loading bays, and a dedicated 12-inch pipeline. It will work in conjunction with MT Asharami Ghana, a 40,000-cubic-metre LPG carrier, to enhance product availability and support Ghana's goal of achieving 50% LPG access by 2030.
