Two harbours, one city: in Sekondi-Takoradi, the modern cargo business belongs to Takoradi, while the older Sekondi basin (UN/LOCODE GH SEK) on the Gulf of Guinea now works mainly as a fishing harbour and naval station, with occasional offshore supply traffic. Containerised, bulk and oil-and-gas cargo is handled next door at Takoradi, which carries around 37% of Ghana's maritime trade and operates dedicated container, dry-bulk and specialised berths. Inland connections run via the historic Western railway line toward Kumasi and the coastal N1 road. For shippers, Sekondi is rarely the operational port of call; bookings for this location are in practice made against Takoradi. Breakbulk and box volumes should therefore be planned through the Takoradi terminals.
