History

The construction of the FPSO became necessary as the expansion of the Tweneboa-Enyenra-Ntomme (TEN) offshore oil fields demanded that another vessel be added to the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah. The vessel was built by Mitsui Ocean Development & Engineering Company Inc. (MODEC) in Singapore and named by the Lordina Mahama, in September 2015. [2] The vessel arrived on Ghanaian waters on March 2, 2016 and started processing of crude oil in August 2016. [2]
