In a strategic move to enhance operational efficiency and support growing cargo In a bid to improve operational efficiency and handle increasing cargo volumes, the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) has commissioned 15 brand-new trucks into service at the Port of Tema.

The new fleet comprises SINOTRUK HOWO trucks equipped with 60-ton flatbed trailers. Out of the 15 trucks, 3 are rated at 400 horsepower, while the remaining 12 have a horsepower rating of 430.

The commissioning ceremony, held at the port premises, was attended by senior officials from GPHA, Ecobank Ghana, and Zonda Tec Ghana Limited.

This fleet of state-of-the-art heavy-duty trucks forms part of GPHA’s broader modernization agenda aimed at improving cargo handling, reducing turnaround time, and boosting the port’s competitiveness in the sub-region.

Speaking at the event, the Director General of GPHA, Brigadier-General Paul Seidu Tanye-Kulono, emphasized the importance of continuous investment in infrastructure and logistics.

“These trucks will significantly enhance our ability to move cargo efficiently within the port area, which is critical to maintaining Tema Port’s position as a leading maritime hub in West Africa,” he stated.

He also highlighted the importance of an effective and efficient maintenance culture to ensure the longevity of the new trucks. The acquisition aligns with GPHA’s broader strategy to support shippers in Ghana and facilitate smooth trade.

The Director of the Port of Tema, Tebon Zuma Esq., noted that the newly acquired trucks are equipped with advanced safety and emissions technology, aligning with GPHA’s commitment to environmental sustainability and adherence to international standards.

According to Mr. Zuma, the Authority will take delivery of an additional 15 trucks within the next three weeks. In total, 100 trucks and more than a dozen reach stackers are expected to arrive this year.

“This is the first batch of a total of 30 trucks that have been procured by the Authority for the second quarter of the year. We shall be taking delivery of the second batch of another 15 trucks next month,” he explained.

“These trucks are not just vehicles; they are a symbol of our commitment to operational excellence, customer satisfaction, and the strategic vision of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority.

As port traffic continues to grow and demands on our logistics infrastructure increase, it is imperative that we continuously invest in the tools, equipment, and systems that will allow us to operate at optimal levels,” he added.

Mr. Zuma further stated that the addition of these trucks is part of broader efforts to reduce turnaround times, streamline cargo movement, and ensure timely delivery within the port and to stakeholders.

The new fleet will support key areas such as container handling, cargo transfer, and internal haulage—activities critical to the overall productivity and competitiveness of the Port of Tema.

He reiterated GPHA’s commitment to continuous training and capacity building for its staff, ensuring that the new fleet will be managed and maintained to the highest standards of professionalism. He emphasized that equipment alone cannot drive performance.

Mr. Zuma commended the efforts of all stakeholders involved in the project, including the procurement and engineering teams, as well as Ecobank Ghana Limited.

Industry stakeholders have welcomed the development, stating that improved logistics within the port will positively impact the entire supply chain and help eliminate bottlenecks affecting trade flow.

The trucks are expected to begin full operations immediately, supporting container movements and other critical logistics functions within the port enclave.

This development marks another significant milestone in GPHA’s efforts to transform Ghana’s port infrastructure and deliver world-class services to its clients.
