The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) is responsible for the strategic development and operation of ports in Ghana known as the Port of Sekondi-Takoradi, the Port of TEMA and the Fishing Harbour at TEMA. The Port of TEMA receives an average of over 1,650 vessel calls per year. These include container vessels, general cargo vessels, tankers, Ro-Ro and cruise vessels among many others. Container traffic through TEMA Port has seen a lot of growth as has shipping activities in Takoradi Port owing to the discovery of oil. Ghana’s principal Port of TEMA handles 80% of the nation’s worldwide cargo load.

The Port of Takoradi, in the west of the country, serves the needs of the mining industry and handles imports of consumer goods. Takoradi, the regional capital of the Western Region of Ghana, is about 230 km east of Accra. This port is well connected to its hinterland which makes it the preferred and ideal gateway to the central and northern part of Ghana and the Sahelian countries of Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali. The port has six (6) berths with draughts between 8.4 metres and 10 metres, in addition to dedicated manganese, bauxite and oil berths.
