Baumia lands at the first inland port in northern Ghana Vice President, Ph.D. Mahamd Baumia has begun construction to begin construction of the first inland port in northern Ghana and the associated industrial complex in Debre in the Savannah region. The multimodal transport corridor, known as the Trans-Volta Logistics Corridor, is implemented by LMI Holdings and includes the development of a system to transport containers and bulk cargo from Tema Port over Burkina Faso and Lake Volta to other land-sealed countries. It will be. An additional port, which will be built at the end of the Tema-Mupakadan Railway, will facilitate the entry and exit of cargo from Tema and Debre. The Debre River Port is expected to contribute to Ghana's infrastructure development and will have a positive effect on transportation, job creation, rural development, income generation and many other benefits. The entire project is expected to be fully functional by 2025. At the groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, July 22, 2022, Vice President Baumia emphasized the importance of the project, especially for the movement of goods, cross-border trade and road conservation in Ghana. "One of the main goals of this port and industrial complex is to reduce congestion when handling goods from Tema. At Lake Volta, ships transport goods and containers on the way to and from Tema Port. These containers are transported by rail to Akwam-Kolankie (eastern region), then loaded onto a cliff and transported to the Debre River port. In Debre, where all relevant facilities are fully operational, such as Tema. , The container is unloaded and loaded onto the truck, and the journey to the subregion continues. All services such as customs clearance and transit permits are provided at each international port. Save the roads in Ghana "This $ 200 million inland port and $ 250 million industrial zone addresses many of the issues that continue to plague the movement of goods to neighboring countries within Ghana and within subregions. Each year in Ghana. Most of the more than 30,000 trucks that transport goods to inland countries on the northern border are unloaded from the road. The overall monetization benefits of the intervention include vehicle travel costs, travel time, and CO2 emissions. Includes overall cost savings, such as reduced shipping costs and reduced post-harvest losses, "he explained. Most of Ghana's domestic transport is by truck, with road transport systems handling 96% of freight and 97% of passenger transport. The heavy reliance on roads to transport goods from the port of Tema to the landlocked country of Ghana has a disciplinary effect on our roads, leading to shorter lifespans and safety concerns. “Investing in inland ports offers excellent logistics, large warehousing potential, proximity to railroads and highways, ample truck parking, alleviation of traffic congestion, and economic incentives. Each transport from the port is estimated to carry more than 300 trucks from our road. This monumental intervention saves a lot of road maintenance. Unfortunately, it is frequent in the media. You can reduce the incidence of fatal traffic accidents that you read or listen to. " Dr. Baumia emphasizes that industrial estates like Debre show that they are ready for business in certain situations by meeting the production and manufacturing needs of companies and industries for mutual benefit. did. “The availability of subsidized services and infrastructure such as roads, electricity, energy, water and telecommunications services is a competitive factor that attracts domestic and foreign investors. For a growing economy like us, industrial estates are A prerequisite for our industrialization. LMI's Dawa Park and Tema Free Zone Enclave prove this. "As evidenced by the boom in Tema Port and its associated factories and other economic activities, the opportunity for Debre's overall economic growth is imminent. Debre's geographical location is the location of river ports and industrial zones. Is important for. The deep depths of Lake Volta make barges available year-round for transport to and from Debre. By creating secondary roads that connect Debre to other cities, it becomes a hub that attracts other stakeholders in the ecosystem to create other complementary facilities and businesses. " Dr. Baumia reiterated the government's continued determination to create an environment and support that would enable private sector investment and called on other organizations to emulate LMI Holdings. “Congratulations to LMI Holdings for this impressive achievement. As a company, LMI participates in this project with extensive experience in infrastructure development
