Phase one of the project, which aims to make the port operational, is currently 65% complete, with contractors awaiting funding to finish the remaining tasks. JustMOH Construction, the contractor responsible for the project, estimates that it will cost $165 million to complete the operational phase of the project.

The government's delay in honoring its financial obligations to the construction of the facility has caused JUSTMOH Construction to face financial stress, putting its workers and suppliers at risk. The Ghana Shippers Authority (GSA) has also called on the government to provide assistance to complete the project, describing it as essential for improving the economy, decongesting the Tema and Takoradi ports, and boosting trade in the northern sector of the country.",
