SHAMA EXPORT PROCESSING
ZONE
The
Shama Export Processing Zone (Shama EPZ) is another of the Ghana Free
Zones Board's (GFZB) land banks. It is located in the Shama Ahanta East
Metropolitan area in the Western Region of Ghana. The Shama EPZ is
GFZB's dedicated industrial park for the petroleum petrochemical sector. The Shama enclave is a good and strategic
location which covers 3200 acres of sea front land. The Free Zones Board
provides investment support in down stream refinery,distribution,
transit and supply chain business services including dominant operators
in chemical production as well as manufacturing of by-products like
plastics and jellies provided they are intended for export. The GFZB
also provides support in skills development and capacity building
services for employers and employees in the petroleum sector. The GFZB will provide land for tank farms,
storage yards for logistics and haulage contractors, manufacturing of
chemical inputs and accessories for the petroleum industry at very
competitive prices. It is the GFZB's intention to sustain its participation in
Ghana's oil sector by licensing and monitoring growing businesses in all
the downstream and support services segments and the Shama EPZ will
serve as the ideal industrial zone for those operations. |
