Chinese gov’t deepens trade relations with GPHA

A Chinese delegation led by the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Sun Baohong, have called on the Director General of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), Richard Anamoo, as part of a working visit to deepen trade and investment relations between the port authority and the Chinese government particularly in the area of sea trade.

Mr. Anamoo seized the opportunity to highlight some of the investment opportunities the port authority has to offer.

He revealed that the port authority intends to develop an ultra-modern training institute for auxiliary port workers especially as the port are embarking on massive infrastructure and space expansion.

Richard Anamoo also expressed the port authority’s interest to develop the capacity of the Tema Shipyard into a ship building facility and servicing of oil rigs in the oil industry, hence demonstrated the authority’s readiness to welcome investments for the shipyard.

The Chinese ambassador welcomed the challenge and assured her outfit will explore all investment opportunities available to the benefit of Ghana and China.

Already Meridian Port Services has concluded contract arrangements with China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd. to construct the first phase of the Tema Port Expansion Project.
