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.
