RESOLUTION OF ICUMS/ERDMS LOADING CHALLENGES
This morning, the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) became aware that members were experiencing significant challenges in loading, as their orders were not advancing to “Good Standing” on the ICUMS platform. In response, COMAC promptly engaged the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), and their respective service providers to urgently address the matter.
As part of the agreed remedial measures, ICUMS was initially decoupled from the ERDMS platform to allow manual loading. During this process, it was conclusively identified that the challenge was in fact originating from the ERDMS system itself. The issue was swiftly rectified, and orders began successfully processing by 12:23 pm.
COMAC has taken note of public notices issued by GOIL and Star Oil, which highlighted the operational impact of the disruptions on their stations. The Chamber wishes to assure all stakeholders that the challenge has now been fully resolved and that normal loading activities have resumed across the industry.
COMAC remains firmly committed to safeguarding the integrity of the downstream petroleum sector. We will continue to collaborate closely with regulators and service providers to ensure uninterrupted operations for our members and to protect consumers from unnecessary disruptions.
