Ghana has no fishing vessel operators — Official

Graphic Online BY: Zadok Kwame Gyesi 705 Ghana currently does not have any locally trained captains or engineers to operate industrial fishing vessels. This has led to the country engaging expatriates, such as Japanese, Chinese and Koreans, to man industrial fishing vessels in its waters. Speaking with the Daily Graphic in Accra last Thursday, the Office Manager of the Ghana Industrial Trawlers Association (GITA), Mr Gilbert Sam, said since Ghana did not have any locally trained captains and other key staff to operate and man industrial fishing vessels, it had no option but to rely on expatriates for such services. “When it comes to industrial fishing, say Tuna and trawlers, we don’t have locally trained people who can man these industrial vessels; we are handicapped. Even though we have institutions that carry out some training, currently we don’t have the skippers who are the captains and engineers who can manage the vessels,” he said.
