Members of the Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders have taken to the streets to protest issues, including the high cost of shipping charges.
According to the group's Vice President, Nana Asiamah Peprah, despite efforts to bring these concerns to the attention of shipping lines, their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
“We have paper written to them about these practices. Nothing has been done about it all these years but today we want to tell the shipping lines that we are not sleeping. We want to make sure that Ghanaians have fair treatment everywhere,” he said.
He explained that for years they have faced unfair charges and some unfair practices at the port which consistently impacted their businesses.
“Their charges are way too high and some of the things that they do add to cost of doing business at this port,” he added.
