Stakeholders commit to reducing high cost of doing business at Ghana’s ports 

Key agencies within Ghana’s shipping and logistics value chain have pledged to address the major challenges driving up the cost of doing business at the country’s ports following a stakeholder engagement organised by the Ghana Shippers’ Authority (GSA) in Accra.

Abena Serwaa Opoku-Fosu, Deputy Marketing Manager of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, announced that the Authority would waive rent charges on cargo affected by port congestion to ease the financial burden on shippers.

According to the statement, these challenges continue to increase the cost of doing business at Ghana’s ports and undermine the country’s competitiveness as a regional trade and transit hub.
