Keta-Axim water transport route moves a step closer as government commissions feasibility study
Plans to introduce a coastal water transport service between Keta in the Volta Region and Axim in the Western Region have advanced, with government engaging consultants to determine whether the proposed route can be successfully developed.
The Ghanaian government is taking a significant step forward in establishing a coastal water transport service between Keta in the Volta Region and Axim in the Western Region. This development comes as the Ministry of Transport has contracted Vision Consult, in collaboration with KPMG, to conduct a comprehensive six-month feasibility study.
The primary objective of this assessment is to evaluate the technical and other prerequisites required to establish a dependable water transport link along the coastline. The consultants will meticulously scrutinize the various elements involved in creating a reliable and efficient transportation network. The assessment's findings are crucial in determining the commercial and operational viability of the proposed service.
Additionally, the consultants will identify the specific conditions that must be met for the project to move forward. Upon completion, the final report will present recommendations to guide the government's decision-making process. This initiative is part of the broader efforts to expand Ghana's transportation network and offer alternative modes of travel to road transport.
If granted approval, the coastal route between Keta and Axim will provide communities and travelers with an additional viable option for interregional travel.
