The ministry’s participation underscores the critical role of MSC’s expansion in supporting Ghana’s economic growth.
Cedric Goujon, managing director of MSC Ghana, reflected on the company’s growth and its commitment to the region.
“Since our first MSC vessel called at the port of Tema in 2007 we have seen tremendous growth, leading to the expansion of our office space and the increase in our team size to meet the growing demands,” he further highlighted, “Today, we employ 131 staff and operate seven weekly services, handling an impressive annual volume of 190,000 TEUs. Our new office is not just an expansion—it’s a commitment to Ghana and its future.”
The office is strategically located to optimize the logistical demands and improve the efficiency of trade routes locally and internationally.
This expansion will enhance MSC’s ability to support Ghanaian businesses in tapping into international markets, promoting economic development and trade diversity.
Mr. Goujon underscored the significance of this development. The new office will serve as a crucial link between Ghana and the major trade hubs worldwide. It will enable MSC to offer enhanced services and support to the local and international clients, reinforcing their role in boosting Ghana’s trade capabilities.
