Ghana, 14th December, 2017 –Blue Ocean Investments Limited (Blue Ocean), the Ghana Oil and Gas Awards 2017 Bulk Distribution Company of the Year and Ghana’s second biggest bulk distributor of fuels, recently donated to the Kpone Health Centre in Tema.

“We are grateful to the Kpone Community for welcoming us with open arms when we first started operations here, and living peacefully with us since then. To say thank you alone would not have been enough for us at Blue Ocean. The community has needs, and we are glad to have been able to have met some of them through this,” said Mr. Osei.

This gesture was well received by the paramount chief of the Kpone Traditional Area, Nii Tetteh Otu II, also present at the ceremony. He commended Blue Ocean for the gesture, and encouraged the company to continue in this stead.
