Cement prices driven by several supply-chain factors, not port congestion – GPHA
The Authority said the cost of importing clinker and cement depends on issues including vessel planning, trucking capacity, cargo handling, port selection and inland transportation, and therefore cannot be blamed on port congestion alone.
The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) has rejected claims that congestion at the Tema Port is driving the recent increase in cement prices, arguing that pricing is influenced by several factors across the supply chain.
The response follows claims by the Chamber of Cement Manufacturers, Ghana (COCMAG) linking recent price increases to congestion at the port.
