Fix Tema Port, roads to cut logistics costs and boost trade — Oro Oil CEO, Maxwell Commey

Chief Executive Officer of Oro Oil Ghana Limited, Maxwell Commey, has called for urgent and coordinated action to address congestion, high logistics costs and weak inland connectivity affecting Ghana’s ports, particularly the Tema Port.

Mr Commey therefore called for port access roads, particularly routes serving the Tema Harbour area, to be treated as an integral part of Ghana’s logistics infrastructure and prioritised for rehabilitation and capacity upgrades.

For agro-industrial firms such as Oro Oil Ghana, whose palm-oil and related operations depend on reliable, lower-cost movement of goods, they directly affect competitiveness, planning and job creation.
