GPHA Director-General inspects ongoing infrastructure projects at Tema Port

By Evelyn ARTHUR

The Director-General of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), Brigadier General Paul Seidu Tanye-Kulono, has undertaken a working inspection of ongoing infrastructure projects aimed at improving efficiency and safety within the Port of Tema.

During the tour, the Director-General assessed the rehabilitation of the harbour’s main road, which had deteriorated over time and posed significant challenges to drivers, especially truck drivers transporting cargo from the port. The upgrade is expected to ease movement and reduce delays in haulage operations.

He also visited the site of a new link road currently under construction between Meridian Port Services (MPS) Terminal 3 and Terminal 2. This road, when completed, will significantly reduce the time it takes to transport containers between the two terminals, enhancing overall port operations. Additionally, he inspected the ongoing construction of breakwaters designed to provide better protection for vessels and port infrastructure, especially during rough weather conditions.

The Director-General expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work being executed. He commended the contractors for their commitment and urged them to maintain the momentum to ensure timely completion of the projects. “These projects are critical to the strategic vision of GPHA to maintain Tema Port’s competitiveness and operational efficiency. I am pleased with what I have seen and encourage all contractors to stay focused,” he stated.

The ongoing works are part of GPHA’s broader efforts to modernize port infrastructure, improve safety, and facilitate trade through the country’s largest seaport.

The Director-General was in the company of the General Manager, Engineering, Ing. Kobla Ofori and General Manager Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Dr. Kingsley Antwi-Boasiako.
