A delegation comprising representatives of businesses based in Denmark has visited Ghana with the hope of establishing business partnerships with Ghanaian entities and corporations.

As part of their visit, the team visited the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority to familiarize themselves with the maritime space and business opportunities that emerge from that environment.

They were briefed about the myriad of services offered by the Port Authority by the Deputy Marketing and Corporate Affairs Manager, Nana Esi Soderberg.

According to her, GPHA’s various terminals are specialized to cater to different cargo segments, including pharmaceuticals, which are stored at the Reefer Terminal.

The team also presented a peculiar interest in collaborations in the health sector, where they were told about the world-class International Maritime Hospital.

According to the General Manager, Health Services, Tema, Dr. Vitus Victor Anaab-Bisi, the International Maritime Hospital has been positioned as a tertiary referral hospital that can serve the maritime industry of the sub region, with the hospital keen on attracting clients offshore and onshore. He explained that this informed the initiators of the hospital project to provide a landing area for helicopters on the hospital’s premises.

Some businessmen from the delegation shared their service offerings with Eye on Port.

Jonas Pilgaard, CEO of 4Life Solutions, says his company has come up with the most affordable and WHO-endorsed water purification solution in the world at only 4 dollars.

"UNICEF, the Red Cross, World Vision, and all the biggest NGOs in the world use our product because it does not use chlorine. Chlorine has a bad taste and smell, and people do not like to put chemicals in their bodies. Users can use our Sawa bags for 500 times, which gives you 2000 litres of water.”
