Takoradi Port comprises nine berths and serves as a vital maritime hub for Ghana and the West African sub-region. With a container handling capacity significantly boosted by recent upgrades, the port now includes a 600-meter quay wall with a 16-meter draft, capable of accommodating larger container vessels.
Its newest terminals are equipped with modern infrastructure, including a 9.8-hectare terminal yard and provisions for ship-to-shore cranes to support high-efficiency operations. A dedicated Oil and Gas Services Terminal—with a 550-meter quay wall and 21-hectare service area—enhances the port’s capability to support offshore exploration and energy logistics.
Together, these facilities position Takoradi Port as an integrated, multi-purpose gateway for cargo and energy sectors in West Africa.
