Ghana - 2.1 Port Assessment
Port Assessment
The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) is the national port authority of Ghana, responsible for the governance, maintenance and operation of the ports of Ghana, principally the Port of Sekondi-Takoradi, and Port of Tema, and the Fishing Harbour at Tema. GPHA HQs are in Tema, offices are also located in Sekondi-Takoradi, and the “Office National des Ports du Ghana” is in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
The Takoradi Harbour and Tema Harbour and ports serve Sekondi-Takoradi and Tema's role as manufacturing centres and handles cargo in transhipment to and from bordering countries north of Ghana.
Container traffic through Tema Port has seen a lot of growth as well as shipping activities in Takoradi port as a result of the oil find and therefore there is the need to expand both ports to meet the demands of the shipping and oil companies.
Ghana, being a coastal country, has seen the emergence of some shipping companies which are responsible for transporting all the items from other countries into the country. See link

Ghana - 2.1.1 Port of Takoradi
Port of Takoradi
Key port information can also be found at: link
Port Overview:
The Port is located in the south-western part of Ghana, specifically in the city of Takoradi about 230 kilometers west of Accra – the capital city of Ghana.
Port of Takoradi is well connected to its hinterland which makes it the preferred and ideal gateway to the central and northern parts of Ghana and the Sahelian countries of Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali. It is Ghana’s premier commercial Port commissioned for business in 1928 to facilitate Ghana’s international trade. The Port is strategically located on latitude 4°532’north, 1°345’west. The strategic location of the Port makes it a very cost-effective route to and from Europe, America and Asia, as well as a cost-effective corridor to serve the population of Ghana and the three Sahelian countries.
Prior to the year 2013, when the Port Expansion Master Plan was rolled out, the berthing facilities of the Port consisted of seven (7) berths and four (4) working buoys. The depth of the berths ranges from 8.6 to 10.0 metres, while the buoys are within 7 to 11 meters. As part of the implementation of the Port Expansion Master Plan, between 2015 and 2022, seven additional berths were added as follows: a three-berth 800 metre automated dry bulk terminal with a draft of minus 16 meters chart datum, the deepest of its kind in West Africa; a two-berth 600 meter container terminal with a draft of minus 16 meters chart datum and a one-berth 300 meter liquid bulk terminal with a draft of 14 meters chart datum. This brought total number of available operable berths in the Port to fourteen (14). A three-berth 550 meter upstream oil and gas terminal with a draft of 10 meters chart datum is under construction and is due to be completed in September 2024.
Services provided by the Port in collaboration with its business partners include, but not limited to: Vessel handling(pilotage, towage,mooring/unmooring), Cargo Handling, Craft and Equipment Hire, spatial and storage facilities rental, Ship Waste reception and management, Port Security, Fire and Safety, Bunkering, Utilities (electricity and freshwater), Vessel Maintenance and Repair services, Fishing Harbour and Health services.
In 2023, the Port handled 32.6% of Ghana’s seaborne traffic, 69.3% of Ghana’s seaborne exports and 17% of Ghana’s seaborne imports. Major commodities handled through the Port are manganese, bauxite, clinker, ammonium nitrate, wheat, bulk and bagged cocoa, quicklime, containerised cargo, equipment for the mining and oil/gas industries.
Traffic through the Port is facilitated by leading shipping lines like Maersk, MSC, Grimaldi, DELMAS and CMA-CGM which have extended the trading influence of our clients globally. With its wide range of equipment stock and the support of the private sector, the Port offers a range of services to facilitate the efficient and cost-effective delivery of value to clients.
The Port of Takoradi, since the discovery of oil in commercial quantities offshore in Ghana in 2007, about 70 nautical miles from its location, has contributed significantly to Ghana’s economy and continues to be the main strategic logistics support base for the offshore exploration and production of oil/gas in Ghana and beyond. Indeed, vessel calls have increased from a little under 600 per annum (pre oil discovery in 2007) to over 1000 calls per annum since 2010 up to 2020, before dropping to between 918 and 861 vessel calls from 2021 to 2023, largely because of slowdown in operations in the offshore oil fields due to, among others the knock-on effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and other significant developments on the global economy and oil prices. Offshore supply vessels calls as a percentage of total vessel calls of the Port, increased from 11% in 2007 to an annual average of 60% from 2011 through to 2019, before declining to 49%, 48%, 46% and 43% in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively.
