Freight & Logistics

THE PORTS OF GHANA have recently been described as the 'Preferred hub ports in the sub-region'. This accolade did not come out of the blue: it was through hard work and good management initiatives. The critical role of GPHA will be the responsibility in the development and growth of foreign trade and the promotion of Ghana as the sub-region's preferred transport and trade corridor.A significant development has been the emergence and steady growth of transit traffic.  Our major customers include: Ship Owners and their Agents, Freight Forwarders, Cargo Handling Companies, Importers and Exporters, Haulage Companies, Ship Chandlers, Off-dock Terminal Operators, Warehouse Companies, Dock Labour Pool Operators, etc. GPHA has a vision to reduce the cost of trade, provide and maintain efficient modern Port facilities, aid in regional development and also provide and maintain safe and secure sea ports for the nation and sub region. Our ports are highly competitive and we operate paperless clearance procedures, efficient cargo delivery systems as well as a friendly tariff regime.Port efficiency transcends GPHA and its licensed terminal operators and is impacted by the activities of the different agencies and individuals involved in the handling of international consignments. All agencies, but especially the CEPS (Customs, Excise & Preventative Service), have complementary roles to play.    GPHA has therefore initiated various programmes to enhance the capacity and efficient operation of the ports. Among these are: > The Master Plan Study, which GPHA has completed with the assistance of the Japan International Corporation (JICA) > A Land Utilisation Study aimed at optimising the use of port lands. These studies provide directions for the infrastructural development of the two ports, including the creation of the most advanced container ports in West Africa.    GPHA is also creating Inland Container Depots (ICDs) and has signed a BOT contract with a private operator to develop an offdock ICD. Commissioning of this facility was expected in early 2005. As we enter into landlord port status, we wish all stakeholders in the ports a happy working environment, peace and prosperity. Long live GPHA, long live all our customers.

Aero Surveys Limited (operating under the trade name "Starbow"), is the largest Ghanaian airline by passengers carried, and has credited with changing the face of the aviation in Ghana by way of its fleet, schedule, reliability, adherence to safety and on-time performance. It currently operates domestically to three destinations from its base at Kotoka International Airport, namely Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale. The fleet consists of three BAe 146-300 and one BAe 146-200 aircraft. Starbow's BAe jets represent the first of its kind on the domestic front in Ghana, introducing real comfort and affordable luxury to the flying public. Starbow has helped change a previously held perception that flying domestically was the preserve of the rich and affluent in society. Starbow currently operates 46 departures a week and holds the largest market share of any carrier in the markets it operates in. Aero Surveys Limited was incorporated in October 1995 and begun trading under the name Starbow in 2011. It launched its inaugural flight to Kumasi in September 2011 and has continued to see tremendous growth in its operations since then. Starbow ultimately intends to provide direct flight services from Accra to other West African cities, making it easy and attractive to commute within the sub-region for either business or leisure. Our Commitment Starbow's pledge is to continue to provide unrivalled air transport experience to our Guests at all times and aspire for continuous improvement. This pledge drives what we do, and permeates all facets of our operations ranging from fleet type through to superior customer service delivery, on-time performance, adherence to safety standards and proven reliability.
