Abstract:The research dealt with assessment of logistics service providers' capabilities in SECs (supporting subsea engineering companies) on the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) project in Ghana. SECs need logistics service providers who offer consolidated services for project optimization and fulfillment of local content requirements of the project. Relevant Staff of 7 SECs and 10 logistics service providers in Ghana formed part of the target group. The weighted scoring model was used in selecting a logistics service provider based on certain criteria. The selection criteria included Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental (QHSE) policies

Offshore support base location selection is the determination of a strategic site for institution operations. The facility location decision involves institutions seeking to locate, relocate or expand their operations. The Offshore support base location decision process encompasses the identification, analysis, evaluation and selection among alternatives with respect to criteria selecting the best location among many alternatives is a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used for selecting the most suitable location for offshore support base in Ghana for subsea engineering companies for the TEN project in Ghana. The related problem includes four possible alternatives and four criteria to evaluate them. The four locations considered are Takoradi port, Atuabo free port, Lagos Deepwater and Offshore Logistics (LADOL), Tema Shipyard, and the main criteria for evaluation are Quayside facility, Water depth, Plot size, and Cost of operation. The result indicated that the Atuabo Freeport Port has the highest net outranking flow of 0.402643 in comparison with the rest of the locations and hence the best offshore based location.
