Tema Terminal 3

Phases one and two commissioned 13 November 2025

Ownership / delivery: MPS concession; GPHA 30% equity, reported in the 2024 finance ministry PPP report.
Cost and scope: US$1.5 billion estimated project cost — 2024 PPP report.
Capacity / infrastructure: 3 million TEU/year — reported capacity, not throughput.
Reported activity: 2024 import-truck turnaround: 90 minutes against a 60-minute target. Export trucks: 40 minutes against a 90-minute target.

Comparison limits

A public-private concession with different phases. Cost is estimated; scanner breakdowns contributed to the missed import target.
