The ABS and Notabene Classification Limited joint venture will operate under the name ABS Ghana Upstream Limited. With this joint venture, ABS continues to provide technical, integrity test and inspection services in the upstream oil and gas industry in Ghana as it has since 2010.

“Since the first rigs began exploring off the coast of Africa, ABS has maintained a strong presence in West Africa, consistently acting as a reliable partner to industry in the region,” said ABS Africa Regional Director Richard Taylor. “We are excited to work with a local company in Ghana that will complement our existing work and add even greater value to the services that we deliver.”
