According to the latest update, the new revetment and dredging works are progressing nicely, and the yard expansion is approaching the next milestone on time.

In a historic moment for Ghana’s maritime landscape, the second phase of the Tema Port expansion was officially launched in November 2023 by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The initiative, a crucial component of the Ghana Ports and Harbors Authority’s (GPHA) master plan, introduces a fleet of 15 cutting-edge gantry cranes at Meridian Port Services (MPS) container terminal and significant civil works development, reinforcing the port’s role as a paramount hub for West Africa.

The terminal is operated by MPS, a joint venture between Ghana Ports and Harbors Authority (30%), APM Terminals (35%) and Africa Global Logistics (35%).
