The Minister of Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, has commended the Ghana Shippers' Authority (GSA) for its remarkable contributions to Ghana's shipping and logistics sector over the past five decades.
Speaking at the launch of the Authority's 50th anniversary celebrations in Accra last Friday, he described the milestone as a testament to the organisation's resilience, innovation, and commitment to excellence.
He noted the Authority's pivotal role in representing and promoting the interests of shippers, resolving complaints, negotiating freight rates, and fostering collaboration between stakeholders in the shipping industry.
He outlined some of the Authority's notable accomplishments, including securing competitive freight rates for cocoa exports through annual negotiations, establishing strategic warehousing facilities at Tema Port and the completion of a freight park at Elubo to facilitate cross-border trade with Côte d'Ivoire and the Authority's advocacy for fair port handling charges.
