Ghana stands as a beacon of maritime stability and industrial growth in West Africa. With the ultra-modern expansion of the Port of Tema and the strategic oil and gas hub of the Port of Takoradi, Ghana serves as a critical nexus for international container lines and the offshore energy sector. Africa Ship Service provides Class-approved, 24/7/365 integrated ship repair and high-spec technical services throughout Ghana. We deliver engineering excellence that supports the diverse needs of ULCV container ships, bulk carriers, and the specialized vessels serving the Jubilee and TEN oil fields.
