The Takoradi Port is set to host a £101 million ship repair and dry-docking facility under a UK-backed infrastructure investment expected to generate about 430 jobs.
The project is being financed through the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s maritime sector and position Takoradi as a regional shipping and logistics hub.
British High Commissioner to Ghana, Dr Christian Rogg, disclosed this at the Ghana–UK Investment Summit in London, a two-day event organised by the Ghana High Commission in the UK in collaboration with Invest Africa and the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce.
According to him, the facility represents PIDG’s largest investment to date and forms part of wider efforts to unlock infrastructure financing and expand trade between Ghana and the United Kingdom.
He said: “The next chapter of the UK-Ghana partnership will be defined by what we will deliver together… by the projects we develop and finance, by the businesses we grow and by the jobs and prosperity we create in both countries.”
Dr Rogg added that the initiative also includes a Green Project Preparation Facility aimed at developing climate-focused infrastructure projects and unlocking further investment opportunities.
He further noted that UK firms continue to expand their presence in Ghana across sectors such as finance, energy, agribusiness, and infrastructure, contributing to job creation and skills development.
The High Commissioner made the remarks at the summit, which was reported by the Ghana News Agency (GNA).
He stressed that the UK remains committed to supporting Ghana’s economic transformation agenda through long-term partnerships and private sector investment.
