\nGhana Shippers Awards recently held in Accra. The company was also recognised
\nas Company of the Year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

GCNet emerged as the winner for the two awards
\nbecause of its pioneering and leadership role in the trade facilitation
\nindustry. GCNet at the centre of Ghana\u2019s digitization journey has leveraged technology
\nto transform the economy through the deployment of innovative systems that
\nfacilitate trade, reduce the associated cost of trade, improve business
\ncompetitiveness and also enhance revenue mobilization.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Shippers Awards
\nrecognises excellence, hard work and encourages strict adherence to compliance
\nand transparency in the transport and shipping industry.\u00a0 In all, there were 52 award categories in the
\n2019 Ghana Shippers Awards, with 15 penned for special recognition awards to

\nPort Duty Rule policy directive and integrated the Ghana Customs Management
\nSystem (GCMS) with the National Petroleum Authority\u2019s (NPA) Petroleum Orders
\nand related payment requirements to petroleum tax revenue collection.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Alwin Hoegerle, these major milestones

\ncosts and improved turn-around time.<\/p>\n
