JM Will Finish Boankra Port – Prof Gyampo Assures Stakeholders

Ghana Shippers Authority Supports Boankra Inland Port Project

The Ghana Shippers Authority (GSA) has confirmed the government's commitment to the Boankra Inland Port project. This initiative aims to enhance trade and logistics in Ghana.

Professor Ransford Gyampo, CEO of GSA, provided this assurance. He acknowledged challenges faced by similar projects but emphasized the government's dedication to completing Boankra.

The Boankra Integrated Logistics and Terminal (BILT) project is a key initiative. It will create a comprehensive logistics and transportation hub in Ghana. The project is expected to significantly boost trade and commerce in the country.

Justmoh Construction Limited is executing the project. It aims to reduce congestion at Tema Port and improve cargo handling efficiency. The facility will serve as a one-stop logistics center for importers, exporters, and service providers.

During a recent site meeting, Prof. Gyampo expressed satisfaction with progress made so far. He assured that the government would address legitimate concerns about the project. This commitment aims to ensure timely completion.

Prof. Gyampo highlighted Ghana's history of abandoned projects due to political changes. He believes this has hindered national development efforts.

He urged stakeholders to view infrastructure projects as national priorities beyond politics. Such initiatives should unite efforts for overall development.

Upon completion, the facility will offer services like warehousing, container storage, and customs clearance. It is also expected to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in nearby areas.

The GSA is collaborating closely with contractors and stakeholders on this project. Prof. Gyampo noted that this partnership is vital for success.

Dr. Justice Amoh, CEO of Justmoh Construction Limited, updated GSA on progress made so far. He requested timely financial support from GSA due to current constraints affecting work progress.

Project Consultant Dr. J.B. Koranteng-Yorke mentioned that Phase One is nearing completion. However, additional facilities are needed for it to meet international standards.
