Dr Humphrey K. Ayim-Darke \u2013 AGI President<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Association of Ghana Industries (AG) has urged President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo to assent the newly-passed Ghana Shippers Authority law.<\/p>\n
AGI said the law would serve the interest of players in the shipping and logistics industry, therefore, the President should append his signature promptly.<\/p>\n
The Association, in a press statement, also called on other trade groups to support the law.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe GSA Act will reduce significantly, if not totally eliminate arbitrary clearing charges at the ports, and will empower the GSA to act on behalf of the State to hold all players accountable.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would make those who engage in unfair business practices that abuse the rights of shippers to account for their acts which negatively impact consumers in the long run,\u201d Mr Humphrey Ayim Darke, AGI President, said.<\/p>\n
AGI again called on stakeholders to \u201cuse dialogue to address any concerns they have or envisage\u201d about the law.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026Such an approach is necessary to make Ghana an attractive and competitive trading destination and transit route for international trade, and will guarantee beneficial progress for the commercial trading sector,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
The new GSA law will, among other things, regulate commercial activities of shippers, and primarily address the issue of unfair and excessive charges that burden traders who use Ghana\u2019s sea and airports, as well as land borders.<\/p>\n
It will also \u201cintroduce transparency in the determination of port fees and charges, and ensure that there is accountability in the legal movement of international trade cargo across all of borders of Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
