Exploration
For the past 95 years, GMC has exported its manganese ore through the Takoradi Port, under the supervision of its Takoradi Port Office. The Vessels initially load at the manganese berth up to a permissible draft of 8.60m even keel, after which the vessels are shifted from the manganese berth depending on the availability of a buoy to top up by barges to complete loading operation.
