  "summary": "The Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA) is actively working on strengthening maritime connectivity between Tema and Kingston, following President John Dramani Mahama's directive during his August 2026 visit to Jamaica. The GMA has emphasized the need for commercial and technical work to move the proposal from a presidential intent to sustainable trade, focusing on establishing the cargo base, understanding markets, examining shipping models, and determining the economics required for stronger maritime links between Ghana and Jamaica.
