Port Detail
Ghana's main port
Tema handles the majority of Ghanaian seaborne trade — containers, bulk imports, cocoa exports and petroleum. The 2019 MPS Terminal 3 expansion brought 16-m draft and ULCV capability.
Cocoa export season
Ghana is the world's second-largest cocoa producer; the September-March main crop drives bulk carrier and container traffic that supports the bunker market.
Regional bunker network
Bunker supply at Tema is coordinated through West African regional physical suppliers serving Lagos, Lomé, Tema and Abidjan together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can ULCV ships call Tema?
Yes, since the MPS Terminal 3 expansion. Pilotage is compulsory.
Is West Africa risky for bunkers?
BMP-WA guidance applies for Gulf of Guinea operations; bunker procedures themselves are routine when conducted within recommended anchorage protocols.
