Tema Port is Ghana’s largest seaport and the arrival point for nearly all of our ocean freight — barrels, containers, and vehicles land here about 25 km east of Accra.
Tema is where the ocean side of Ghana shipping happens. Almost every barrel, container, and car we move by sea from the US arrives at Tema Port, roughly 25 km east of central Accra, in about 28–35 days. Customs clearance is completed at the port before goods are released. If you need speed instead, air freight to the nearby Kotoka International Airport in Accra is the faster alternative for smaller, urgent shipments.

When your shipment reaches Tema Port, VoltaHaul coordinates customs clearance and the required import documentation. Once cleared, goods can be collected at the port or delivered onward into Tema, Ashaiman, Sakumono, and the wider Greater Accra area. It’s worth arranging prompt pickup after clearance — ports charge storage and demurrage fees once free time lapses, so we notify your consignee as soon as the shipment is ready to release.
