OMT offered Dr. Dantsoho a comprehensive tour of its modern facilities, which included the containerized and noncontainerized cargo areas. The management also provided a briefing on key processes such as vessel and warehouse management, container handling and cargo logistics.

The NPA managing director commended OMT’s commitment to maintaining high service standards and supporting seamless trade operations. He noted the company’s focus on safety, praising the advanced security systems and protocols that ensure a secure environment for both employees, port users and cargo.

Dr. Dantsoho also expressed his admiration for OMT’s innovations and sustainability efforts, which aim to minimize the environmental impact of the terminal’s operations.
