President John Dramani Mahama has announced that a private investor plans to introduce a ferry service from Tema to other West African countries.
Speaking at the commissioning of Phases 1 and 2 of the Tema Port Expansion Project on Thursday, November 14, President Mahama said the proposed service will transport vehicles, passengers, and goods—strengthening regional trade and connectivity.
“The private sector maritime operator has recently approached us to establish a ferry service to countries along the West African coast, based in Tema. The ferries will carry vehicles, passengers, and goods between Ghana and other West African states,” he disclosed.
He assured that government is ready to support the initiative to ensure its success. “We will provide all the encouragement needed to establish this service and enhance the exchange of goods among our people,” President Mahama added.
