No trip to the Western Region of Ghana is ever complete without taking the opportunity to bask in the splendour of the Takoradi Port. The oxymoronic maritime masterpiece is the nation’s older port yet boasts of future-readiness with expansion efforts implemented in 2018; you can still see the vintage vessels up close. If you are looking to exploit a business opportunity, otherwise, the proximity of the port means you are closer to leads and saving on the cost of transportation.
