Trade associations operating at the Tema Port have called on the government to immediately halt the implementation of new freight charges since they have no legal basis to do so.
The associations have, consequently, urged their members and the general public to disregard the 100 per cent increase in additional port fees announced by the Shipping Lines.

Effective today, Monday March 1, the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) will begin the implementation of new tariff for services rendered to shipping lines at the seaports.
The new tariff regime applies to containerised cargo for port dues, stevedoring, cranage and terminal handling (empty container).
They are to increase on an average of 15.74 per cent for 20-footer container and 16.81 per cent for 40-footer container.
Targeting only shipping lines, the tariff adjustment, the GPHA explains, is to help generate more revenue to settle loans secured to build the Terminal Three of the Tema Port and other port infrastructure.
