Tema Port Breakwater Rehabilitation to Be Completed Within a Month

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), John Asiedu Nketiah, has indicated that the ongoing breakwater rehabilitation project at the Port of Tema is expected to be completed and handed over within a month.

Mr Asiedu Nketiah made the remarks after leading the GPHA Board on an inspection of the recently completed dredging works and the ongoing breakwater rehabilitation project at the port.

The Board was briefed on the scope and progress of the projects by GPHA’s General Manager of Engineering, Ing. Komla Ofori.

Speaking to the media after the inspection, the Board Chairman expressed satisfaction with the completed dredging works and the progress of the breakwater rehabilitation project, particularly the advanced technology being deployed in its execution.

As part of the dredging project, selected berths have been deepened from 11 metres to 14 metres to accommodate larger vessels.

The Director-General of GPHA, Major General Paul Seidu Tanye-Kulono, expressed optimism that the projects would strengthen the Authority’s operational and commercial prospects by enabling larger vessels to berth safely at the Port of Tema.

The breakwater rehabilitation project is being undertaken by GYTD Group Limited.
