President Akufo-Addo inaugurates Jamestown Fishing Harbor in Accra

The newly-constructed Jamestown Fishing Harbor at Jamestown in the Greater Accra Region was inaugurated on Friday in Accra by the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

“This new harbor is more than just infrastructure – it is a lifeline for the people of Jamestown,” said the President Addo.

“This project, which had been a dream since 1965, now stands as a modern facility that will empower the livelihoods of our hardworking fisherfolk and transform the local economy.”

The capital development project included dredging, break­water construction, berthing facilities, navigational aids, paved roads and yard, water supply and drain­age works, electrical engineering works, mechanical equipment etc.

Work on the Jamestown Fishing Harbor started in 2018 through the collaborative efforts of a number of stakeholders, including the Ghana Ports and Harbors Authority (GPHA), CRCC Harbor and Channel Engineering Bureau Group Co. Ltd, the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Develop­ment and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), with funding from the People’s Republic of China.
