TRANSIT OPERATIONS
The district also serves as the major transit corridor for the
land-locked countries of Burkina Faso, Niger, Togo, Cite D’voir and Mali
who ship their goods through Tema Port. With the government policy of
making our ports the gateway to the sub-region the District Secretariat
liaise between the Import/Export public with any problems that may
arise. Especially with the recent conflicts with the neighboring
countries, the volumes have soared and the associated pressure on both
human and equipments at the ports.
