Africa’s leading independent Oil and Gas, exploration and production company, Tullow Ghana limited has sponsored five Ghanaian journalists to undergo BOSIET.
BOSIET ( basic offshore safety induction and emergency training) is a mandatory requirement for anyone going offshore.
The five journalists who are beneficiaries of the training includes Emmanuel Ohene-Gyan of Empire FM, Akwasi Adjei Anim of Citi TV, Marie Aziz Tunde of GBC all from Takoradi in the Western Region. The rest are Daryl Kwaw of Joy News and Jessica Acheampong of the Daily Graphic.
The five journalists under went three days intensive training at the Ghana Maritime University (GMU). The training includes Fire Safety and Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPS), Helicopter Under Water Escape Training (HUET) and Sea survival.
Some few months ago, Tullow took journalists from the Greater Accra and Western Regions through the intricacies of upstream sector oil and gas operations.
According to Tullow, the training forms part of the company’s plan to afford Ghanaian journalists a hands-on experience of offshore reporting.
The three days training ended on Saturday November 30th, 2019
