The Ghana Chamber of Shipping (GCS) has secured an associate membership of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) to become more impactful in the country’s maritime space.
With this feat, Ghana Chambers of Shipping has joined a growing league of International Chamber of Shipping members based in West Africa with the Liberian Shipowners’ Council and Nigerian Chamber of Shipping already admitted as members.
The move, which makes the chamber a third member in Africa, is expected to help strengthen relationships across the maritime sector as the industry continues to work together to find solutions to collective issues, including piracy, seafarer welfare and training, digitalisation, automation and decarbonisation.
The chamber serves as a veritable platform for dialogue and collaboration among the various maritime stakeholders and articulates the views of the maritime actors towards reshaping policy for national development.
