Port of Tema
The Tema Harbour is in Tema. The harbour is located in the southeastern part of Ghana, along the Gulf of Guinea.
History of the harbour
The construction of the harbour was proposed by the British who ruled the Gold Coast before its independence. An old fishing village called Torman was the proposed site for the harbour's construction. The rapid industrialization that followed Ghana's independence led to the town adopting the name Tema from that of the fishing village. After independence, Ghana's first president Kwame Nkrumah, begun the construction of the harbour in the 1950s and commissioned it in 1962.
