This project expands the capacity of a crucial West Africa freight hub in Ghana with four massive container vessel berths, 3,558 meters of breakwater and 1,400 m of wharf. This 127-hectare development will provide substantial economic benefits and growth for Ghana while providing 15 interns and 40 young local engineers with opportunities to advance skills and expand employment potential.
Team members from Ghana, South Africa, the U.S., U.K., Hong Kong, China, France, Ivory Coast and South Africa helped build the new port that can accommodate vessels with a capacity of 22,000 containers. Advanced testing methods and equipment helped optimize construction and minimize environmental impacts. The team tackled tough natural conditions such as hard earth material and strong waves, while protecting local sea turtles, marine mammals and fish.
