The company said that the government of Ivory Coast or Cote d'Ivoire has applied to the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) for provisional measures to be adopted pending the Hamburg-based tribunal’s decision on the maritime boundary dispute between the country and neighbouring Ghana.
“The provisional measures application includes a request that ITLOS orders Ghana to suspend ongoing exploration and exploitation operations in the disputed area in which the TEN project is situated until ITLOS gives its full verdict which is expected towards the end of 2017,” Tullow Oil said.
