Meridian Port Services Ltd (MPS), the operator of Terminal 3 at Tema Port, strategically positioned at the geographical centre of the world, precisely at Zero-Est and Zero-West, and 5 degrees north of the equator, has been designated as the First Port of Call for a newly introduced service connecting the Far East to West Africa.
This service is poised to make stops at key ports, facilitating efficient trade between the two regions.
As the first port of call for vessels on the Far East service, MPS Terminal 3 provides Ghana’s trade and industry with a distinct advantage – the shortest transit time compared to all other ports in the region.
The maiden voyage of this service is being undertaken by the m/v “MAERSK EDIRNE” boasting a carrying capacity of 13,092 TEUs, an overall length (LOA) of 366 meters, and a width of 48 meters.
Following calls at the Chinese ports of CHIWAN and NANSHA and cargo loading in SINGAPORE, the Maersk Edirne set sail from Malaysia’s TANJUNG PELEPAS port on December 26, 2023, subsequently arriving at MPS Terminal 3 at Tema Port after a mere 20 days on January 16, 2024.
