AI Energy Group serves as a prominent indigenous energy and logistics provider within the West African maritime landscape, specifically recognized for its operations in the Gulf of Guinea. Headquartered in Ghana, the company has developed a comprehensive service portfolio that bridges the gap between downstream fuel supply and upstream offshore requirements. Since establishing its dedicated bunkering operations in the early 2010s, the firm has grown from a general fuel distributor into a specialized marine support entity, playing a vital role in fueling the region's commercial shipping and offshore oil and gas industries.
The core of the company’s maritime identity revolves around its status as a licensed physical bunker supplier. It provides marine fuels and lubricants to a diverse array of vessels, including container ships, fishing fleets, and offshore support craft. Operations are conducted across major port hubs, such as Tema and Takoradi, as well as at offshore locations. To execute these deliveries, the group utilizes a multi-modal logistics infrastructure that combines a fleet of specialized road tankers with marine barges and supply vessels. This capability allows them to service clients both at quayside berths and at anchorage, ensuring continuous energy security for vessels transiting the region.
Beyond standard bunkering, AI Energy Group has established itself as a key support partner for the upstream sector. The company possesses the requisite licenses and technical capacity to conduct offshore refueling for oil rigs, floating production storage and offloading units (FPSOs), and drillships. This involves the use of dynamic positioning-capable vessels that can safely deliver fuel and supplies in open water environments. Their operations are heavily underpinned by a focus on international safety and quality standards, evidenced by their early adoption of ISO certifications and compliance with global environmental regulations, such as the supply of low-sulphur fuels in alignment with IMO 2020 mandates.
In recent years, the company has diversified its maritime service offering to encompass a broader range of offshore solutions. This expansion includes the supply of marine chemicals and drilling fluids, catering directly to the technical needs of exploration and production activities. By integrating logistics, fuel supply, and technical product distribution, AI Energy Group functions as a consolidated support hub for the maritime community in West Africa, facilitating efficient operations for international and local stakeholders alike.
