Times End “C” Computers Ltd. (TECC) has been honoured with the Excellence in Innovation and Technology Award at the 7th Ghana Shippers Awards, 2025, a recognition of the company’s pioneering role in delivering cutting-edge IT solutions to Ghana’s maritime, clearing, and forwarding industry.

The award highlights TECC’s long-standing contribution to the sector, including its pivotal role in the 2016 sensitisation on the global SOLAS Verified Gross Mass (VGM) regulation.

Working with the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), Ghana Shippers Authority, Ship Owners and Agents Association of Ghana (SOAAG), and Maersk Line, TECC helped educate industry stakeholders on VGM compliance. During these engagements, the Senior Vice President of the World Shipping Council, Lars Kjaer, joined TECC via Skype to support presentations and interact with participants, strengthening national readiness for VGM implementation and improving operational safety.

TECC has also played a key part in stakeholder coordination, serving on the Metrology and Measurement National Technical Committee (TC17) Subcommittee on Maritime under the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA). Its involvement helped advance national standardisation efforts in maritime measurement.

As part of its commitment to continuous innovation, TECC is set to introduce Cheemoh, a new customised software solution that links weighbridges and other weighing systems directly to an organisation’s ERP. The platform enhances data accuracy, boosts workflow efficiency, and supports real-time decision-making. It also offers an optional VGM module for clients requiring automated Verified Gross Mass processing.

TECC’s recognition reflects its growing influence as a trusted technology partner, known for delivering secure, efficient and durable digital solutions across the maritime value chain.

This year’s Ghana Shippers Awards — organised by Globe Productions Limited — celebrated industry excellence under the theme, “Blue Ideas, Bold Moves: Innovating Ghana’s Maritime Value Chain for the Future.”

Expressing gratitude, CEO Emmanuel Odartey said, “This is a massive win for us all at Times End ‘C’ Computers. It will encourage us toward even greater achievements. We dedicate this to our cherished customers in the shipping sector.”

TECC’s win reinforces its leadership in maritime technology and its continued contribution to the growth and sustainability of Ghana’s economy.
