Ghana’s government is expanding the terminal at Tema Harbour in the south-east of the West African country to enable the port to receive bulk clinker for cement producing companies.
The US$122m project, due for completion in Q4 2015, is expected to create room for raw materials needed by Ghacem for cement production.
The project will allow the port to take four additional cargo vessels at a time and is expected to create enough space for cargo ships carrying clinker to berth at the port for easy discharge.
Tema Harbour currently has limited space for receiving clinker which the director general of the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority, Richard Anamoo, said was a major contributor to the shortage of the product in the market.
