Commenting on the Port’s performance in an interview, Ms Sandra Opoku, described it as encouraging, considering the difficulties imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

She attributed the half-year performance of the Port of Tema to the improved service delivery system that was adopted by the Port Authority.

“The port administration put in place efficient measures to ensure that clearance processes, the safety of vessels, crew, and cargo are protected. We have purchased new cargo handling equipment to augment the existing ones and help speed up delivery and also turn-around times of vessels,” she said.

Outlining the short to medium-term goals, the Tema Port Director added, “We are also strengthening our collaboration with our stakeholders in order to improve coordination, facilitate trade and reduce the cost of doing business to achieve our vision which is to be the leading container hub and the beacon of Trade in West Africa.”

Mrs. Opoku also stated that the port administration will soon extend working hours at the Golden Jubilee Terminal to improve clearance processes.
