As a result, Ibis Tek-Crowley has organised a day information seminar geared towards equipping participants with solutions in the energy and civil infrastructure sectors in Accra.
The comprehensive seminar that drew about 20 companies across the country also sought to hand participants keys to fully develop the economic potential of its offshore petroleum resources.
US Ambassador to Ghana H.E, Gene Cretz in his speech indicated that: “…One of the most critical factors for success for an international company lies in its choice of local partners. Crowley has selected a solid partner here in Ghana that is Ibis Tek; and coupled with Crowley’s deep experience and global strength, Ibis Tek will be in the position to change the landscape of maritime services here in Ghana.
“Without competent and highly sophisticated maritime service providers like Ibis Tek-Crowley, Ghana will be challenged to fully develop the economic potential of its offshore petroleum resources.”
Mr. Cretz added: “The partnership that we are recognizing today between Ibis Tek and Crowley-a partnership between a strong global company and a well-established local firm is an effective approach to building capacity of Ghanaian companies and increasing their contribution to the country’s development.”
The General Manager of Ibis Tek Crowley Chris Goss, C. Bleu Hilburn, Director and Eric Owiredu Akrofi, Managing Director in separate words pointed out that the joint venture focuses on local content with three core values of integrity, safety and high performance which can move anything anywhere at any location at a competitive prize.
A participant Captain James Owusu-Koranteng, Director of Ports, Ghana Ports and Habours Authority(GPHA) in a post-seminar interview expressed gross satisfaction saying, “We at GPHA are in talks with them to create more space at the ports. The expertise they put on board will also help our maritime students and flagging up vessels will create employment opportunities.”
