GPHA announces urgent measures to ease congestion at Tema Port

"Prompt cargo evacuation remains essential to easing pressure on terminal space and supporting the continuous flow of trade through the port," the Authority said.

The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) has announced a series of urgent operational measures to address growing landside congestion at the Port of Tema, assuring stakeholders that efforts are underway to restore normal cargo flow and maintain efficient port operations.

According to the Authority, the congestion has been driven largely by a significant increase in import volumes, a corresponding rise in exports of empty containers, and increasing road traffic challenges around the port enclave.
