  "summary": "The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) has announced a US$98.41 million investment in the expansion of the Port of Takoradi, with President John Dramani Mahama cutting the sod for the construction of Berth 19. The project aims to increase cargo-handling capacity, accommodate larger vessels, and strengthen Ghana’s position as a regional maritime and trade hub. This investment follows the financial success of the Port of Tema expansion, which has generated approximately US$421 million for the Authority. The Berth 19 facility, expected to be completed within 26 months, will enhance the port’s capacity to handle mineral exports and imported dry bulk products, supporting mining companies and cement manufacturers in the country.",
