About This Seaport
For the landlocked Sahel — Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger — Tema is a principal maritime outlet, with their imports and exports moving along road corridors to and from Ghana's coast. On the Gulf of Guinea, the port is rated by shipping lines among the best-performing container gateways in West and Central Africa. Its container business runs through Terminal 3, operated by Meridian Port Services (a joint venture of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority with APM Terminals and Africa Global Logistics), whose 1.4 km, 16 m-deep quay handles vessels up to 366 m and will reach about 3.5 million TEU capacity after phase 2. Alongside boxes, Tema handles general and dry bulk cargo for the Ghanaian market. Inland connections are mainly by road, with rail upgrades planned. The database's "small" label does not reflect its role as Ghana's main gateway. Forwarders seeking regional alternatives can use Takoradi in Ghana, Lomé in Togo or Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire.
