The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Professor Ransford Gyampo, has disclosed that some shipping companies have been reported to the Bank of Ghana (BoG) for imposing excessive and unapproved charges at the ports.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Burning Issues, Prof. Gyampo revealed that his outfit took the action after receiving numerous complaints from shippers regarding the negative impact of the charges on their businesses.
“I received complaints from many shippers that some shipping lines were using unapproved exchange rates at the ports, and we carried out an investigation that confirmed the complaint we got,” he said.
He stated that the affected shipping lines have been summoned to appear before the BoG for a hearing, where appropriate action will be taken against those found complicit.
Prof. Gyampo assured Ghanaians of the administration’s commitment to addressing challenges in the shipping sector and improving economic conditions.
