The FPSO John Evans Atta Mills is a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. It operates in the Tweneboa-Enyenra-Ntomme Oil Field off the western coast of Ghana. She is named after a former president of Ghana the late John Evans Atta Mills.[1]

History

The construction of the FPSO became necessary as the expansion of the Tweneboa-Ntomme-Enyenra (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]
