General News of Sunday, 9 July 2017Source: Myjoyonline.comAbsence of regulation partly to blame for oil contamination at BOST - NPA bossHassan Tampuli, Acting CEO of NPAThe Acting CEO of the National Petroleum Authority suspects the absence of regulation of offspec products is the reason for the serial oil contamination at the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company. Hasan Tampuli is therefore insisting on regulation as one of the immediate steps to solving the oil contamination canker in the country. He said when offspec products end up in the vehicles of unsuspecting drivers, engines are destroyed sometimes with dire consequences. In recent times offspec products have become dominant in Ghana’s petroleum downstream operations with oil contamination being the most prominent. “It is more imperative to regulate offspec products because of the dangers they pose more than regulated products..” he stated.
