Project Owner/s
The project is an initiative of the Ghana Ministry of Transport acting through the Ghana Shippers’ Authority.
Ashanti Ports Services, a joint venture between Afum Quality and DSS Associates, is the concessionaire.
Project Description
The project, popularly referred to as the Boankra inland port project, has been on the drawing board for about 18 years.
The 167 ha project is intended to augment the positioning of import and export services closer to shippers in the northern part of Ghana, improve the operational efficiency of the existing seaports in Tema and Takoradi, and facilitate greater intermodal linkages with Ghana’s landlocked trade partners in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
Ashanti Ports Services is expected to design, engineer, finance, procure, build, operate and maintain the project, and then transfer the title for the terminal to the Ghana government after 30 years.
Potential Job Creation
Significant employment opportunities are expected to be created through the inland port’s supply chain, including export processing, warehousing, transportation and receipt, as well as delivery operations.
Capital Expenditure
$330-million.
Planned Start/End Date
The project is expected to take three years to complete.
