Box 4.2 Developments in Ghana's ports
(....)
Both Tema and Takoradi ports have drive-through scanners. The ports of Ghana operate an Integrated Management System in line with ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management), ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and OHSAS 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety). The Port of Tema is ISPS code compliant.

According to authorities, Ghana has plans to develop a seaport at Keta on the eastern coastline, as motivated by the national development agenda, global and regional trends, development options for diversified cargo-specific port clusters, and trade facilitation. Feasibility studies have been carried out and the project cost is estimated at around USD 1.1 billion. Currently, the project is at the Environmental Social Impact Assessment stage.
