Ghana's Navy Gets Ship From South Korea to Guard Jubilee, Graphic Reports

Ghana’s navy has taken delivery of an armored vessel to protect its territorial waters around the Jubilee oil field, the Daily Graphic reported.

The so-called quick attack vessel was delivered under an agreement with South Korea, the Accra-based newspaper said, citing an unidentified person at Ghana’s Western Naval Command.

The 28-man vessel will be the fastest under the command of Ghana’s navy.

This is a very good exhibition of concern by the government in the wake of recent Nigerian crisis over the Delta Region oil sites. The question arises whether such step will suffice as a deterrence to onsloughts similar to those on record. Speed Boats and attack boats feature prominent in general expectation within security concerns.
