Managing Directors of leading shipping lines operating in Ghana, including MSC, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, COSCO, and PIL, convened for their quarterly engagement meeting with the management of Meridian Port Services Ltd (MPS) at Terminal 3 of the Tema Port. The session, part of a structured stakeholder dialogue platform, provided a comprehensive update on MPS’s operational performance, ongoing investments, and forward-looking growth strategy.
Addressing participants, the Chief Executive Officer of MPS, Mr. Mohamed Samara, highlighted the company’s continued growth momentum and strategic direction:
“MPS continues to deliver strong growth, with a 22% increase in cargo volumes recorded in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. While current capacity constraints are moderating transhipment volumes, our deliberate investments in infrastructure, equipment, and operational systems are significantly strengthening Tema’s connectivity across the region opening new trade corridors and enhancing access to key West and Central African markets”
A central highlight of the engagement was the tangible impact of MPS’s ongoing investments in driving enhanced maritime connectivity. Through continuous upgrades in terminal capacity, equipment deployment, and operational efficiency, MPS has facilitated improved vessel linkages with key regional ports, including Dakar, Apapa, Cotonou, Lomé, Tangiers, Abidjan, Pointe-Noire, and Luanda. This growing network is not only strengthening Tema Port’s position within major global shipping routes but is also enabling the creation of new trading corridors, reducing transit times, and improving cargo fluidity across West and Central Africa.
