Greenfield Dry Bulk Terminal in Takoradi

project in tender

GPHA started the Takoradi Port Expansion Program in 2014 which included the extension of the breakwater, the deepening of the access channel and port basin, and the construction of the infrastructure for the Dry Bulk Terminal with a depth at the quay of CD -16.0m. The new terminal will allow for capesize vessels to be handled in the port with modern loading/unloading systems, which is a substantial improvement over the current ‘double handling practices’ in the port. The terminal will handle the export of manganese and bauxite, and the import of clinker amongst others. Design capacity of the terminal is about 10 million tons.The Greenfield Dry Bulk Terminal concession seeks to achieve the following principal objectives:Introduce an independent Terminal Operator into the Port of Takoradi to handle bulk ore cargo for a variety of entities and cargo owners and to generate the necessary incentives for the rapid development of traditional ore mines to the benefit of the Ghanaian economy.Increase the bulk ore cargo throughput capacity and the operational efficiency of the Port of Takoradi, in particular for the sustenance of guaranteed volumes and services within the sub-cluster.
