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. |
