Over the years, the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority has consistently demonstrated its human and technical capabilities in handling diverse cargo types for import, export, transit, and transshipment.
Recently, the Port of Tema achieved a successful turnaround of seven (7) train wagons received from Japan.
The port conducted minor maintenance work on the wagons before facilitating their onward transshipment to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Deputy Logistics Manager at the Port of Tema, Ing. Prince Ayisi, highlighted that the selection of the Port of Tema for this operation was based on its suitability.
He emphasized the port’s readiness to handle unconventional cargo types, citing previous instances such as the disassembled export of a helicopter to Australia in 2020 and the recent transshipment of two helicopters.
Ing. Ayisi stated, “It is trying to tell us that with the expertise that we have, we are prepared for any challenge that the client would like to put on us and also try to support their operations in the industry of shipping,” during an interview with Eye on Port.
Samir Sheth, the Country Manager for OMA Logistics Ghana, the logistics agent for the shipment, expressed satisfaction with the decision to transship through the Port of Tema.
He commended the dedication of every individual in the working chain, contributing to the success of the transshipment.
