New Ferry service to link Ghana with West African neighbors – President Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed plans by a private investor to establish a ferry service in Tema that will connect Ghana to other countries along the West African coast.
Speaking at the commissioning of Phases 1 and 2 of the Tema Port Expansion Project on Thursday, November 14, the President said the proposed ferries will transport vehicles, passengers, and goods, enhancing regional trade and connectivity.
“The private sector maritime operator has just recently approached us to establish a ferry service to countries on the West African coast to be located in Tema. The ferries will carry vehicles, passengers, and goods between Ghana and other West African states,” he stated.
President Mahama added that the government will provide full support to ensure the initiative’s success. “We will give him all the encouragement to be able to establish this service so that we can increase the exchange of goods among our people,” he said.
