Ghana tenders concession for Integrated Terminal at Takoradi Port
The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), as the implementing agency under the Ministry of Transport of the Government of Ghana (GoG), is pursuing the procurement of private partners in the development and operations of some port and cargo terminals in the Ghanaian seaports. One of such procurement is under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) program in support of the Upgrade and Expansion of the Port of Takoradi.
In line with the growing PPP program of the GoG, this PPP project in the Port of Takoradi envisages high level private participation in the operations of various cargo terminals, of which the dry bulk terminal is the first terminal that has been brought to the market. Currently, the tender procedure to select and contract a private terminal operator for the dry bulk terminal is ongoing.
Feasibility studies and preliminary business cases have been undertaken in parallel to establish the potentials for the container- and multi-purpose terminals in the port of Takoradi. The studies conclude that the establishment of an Integrated Terminal where the handling and storage of containers, general cargo, project cargo, Ro-Ro and Oil Supply Base-related cargo is combined, is financially feasible for both GPHA and the private terminal operator.
The Integrated Terminal being procured under this package aims to provide a modernized facility, deeper berths and the necessary cargo handling equipment systems for a new generation of operations.
The concessionaire is envisaged to be part of the final operational design and development of the terminal to meet the performance objectives. The Terminal Operators are expected to introduce cost-effective international best practices into the Port and to attract substantial additional maritime traffic to Ghana.
GPHA, as the Concession Grantor, now invites interested and eligible Port Terminal Operators specialized in the handling of containers, multi-purpose and general cargoes to register their interest for the Concession to complete the Development, Operate and Transfer, back to the Port of Takoradi the Integrated Terminal under this Tender. The duration of the intended Concession is envisioned at 20 years, or more, depending on the level of proposed investment.
