29 Jan 2015 - by Staff reporter

Kuwait-based Agility, a global logistics and logistical infrastructure provider, started construction of a distribution park in the Tema Port Free Trade Zone Enclave in Accra, Ghana this month.

The Agility Distribution Park – one of a series of logistics hubs that Agility is building across the African continent – will provide logistics infrastructure to local, regional and global companies operating in Ghana.

The first phase of the park will be complete and operational in the last quarter of 2015, and when fully occupied will include 100 000 sqm of bonded and non-bonded warehouses with ancillary services.
