The long-discussed Boankra Integrated Logistics Terminal (BILT) may be edging closer to reality as officials from Global Ports and Container Terminals (YILPORT Holding) paid a working visit to Ghana to hold high-level discussions with the Ghana Shippers’ Authority (GSA) on the prospects of developing and operationalising the project. This could also reduce overall logistics and transportation costs for shippers and cargo owners, a long-standing concern within Ghana’s trade community. He said the engagement with YILPORT formed part of the Authority’s broader efforts to attract strategic investors with the technical and financial capacity to support the BILT project. The Boankra Integrated Logistics Terminal, located near Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, is envisioned as a strategic inland logistics hub. These markets currently account for an estimated 40 per cent of cargo throughput at the Tema and Takoradi Ports, a reminder of why Boankra keeps returning to the centre of Ghana’s logistics conversation.
