About This Seaport
Best known offshore rather than onshore, Saltpond gives its name to Ghana's oldest oil field, lying about 13 km out and long worked by the Saltpond Offshore Producing Company. The port itself is an open roadstead in poor structural condition, handling only small volumes of general cargo, fishing and regional coastal traffic; it cannot take international or container shipments. Freight shippers should use the deep-water ports of Takoradi or Tema instead. Commercial cargo relevance here is limited.
