Ports: Dubai to Ghana
Origin and destination ports for FCL container shipping
Jebel Ali Port — Dubai
The UAE’s largest port and one of the world’s top 10 container terminals. All FCL cargo from Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Ras Al Khaimah departs from Jebel Ali.
Sharjah / Abu Dhabi / RAK
Cargo from across the UAE is trucked to Jebel Ali Port for loading. Delta Global manages inland haulage from all UAE emirates.
Port of Tema
Ghana’s principal container gateway, handling over 95% of national container traffic (around 1.67 million TEU in 2024). Its deep-water Terminal 3 (16m draught) takes the largest vessels. Sits ~30 km east of Accra, with road links inland to Kumasi and the Tema-Ouagadougou corridor serving Burkina Faso and Mali.
Port of Takoradi
Ghana’s western port (commissioned 1928) and the country’s oil, gas, bulk and mining hub. Container volumes are modest (about 32,500 TEU in 2024), but a multi-purpose container terminal concession is being developed. Serves the western and Ashanti regions by road, easing pressure on Tema for westbound cargo.
Dubai–Ghana Trade Overview
Key trade sectors and import categories on this route
Containerised cargo from Dubai routes predominantly through the Port of Tema, the entry point for over 95% of Ghana’s box traffic, with Jebel Ali to Tema sailings of roughly 25-30 days, either direct deep-sea or via transshipment. From Tema, located about 30 km east of Accra, goods move by road to Kumasi and onward via the Tema-Ouagadougou corridor (around 750 km to the Burkina Faso border) to landlocked Mali and Niger; the western Port of Takoradi handles bulk and a smaller share of containers. Typical imports from Dubai and the Jebel Ali Free Zone include building materials, machinery and spare parts, electronics, vehicles, FMCG and household goods, plastics, and re-exported general merchandise.
