President John Dramani Mahama has officially started the construction of a US$137 million floating dry dock facility at the Takoradi Port in Ghana. This project, which is being undertaken under a 25-year concession, is set to be completed within 18 months and aims to position Ghana as a major ship repair and maintenance hub in West Africa.
The new facility will provide an alternative to ships, oil rigs, and other maritime vessels that currently have to travel to Europe or Durban in South Africa for major repairs and maintenance. President Mahama emphasized that this development will address the lack of major ship repair facilities along the West Coast and Gulf Coast of West Africa.
