The Ghana Shippers’ Authority (GSA), a key institution in Ghana’s maritime industry, was established in 1974 under NRCD 254.
Its primary mission is to protect and promote the interests of shippers and shipping service providers in Ghana by facilitating mutual consultation among shippers, shipowners, carriers, and other providers of shipping services.
Additionally, it ensures collaboration between carriers’ agents and shipping service providers on matters relevant to shippers and the industry.
Through these efforts, the Authority aims to foster a competitive and viable commercial shipping environment, supporting Ghana’s economy while shielding industry players from unfair commercial practices.
