The Director-General of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), Major General Paul Seidu Tanye-Kulono, has presented a Great Wall Motors (GWM) pickup vehicle to the Tema Marine Police Command to strengthen its operational capacity and support maritime security.
The vehicle was handed over during a presentation ceremony on Wednesday morning as part of GPHA’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives aimed at supporting institutions that play vital roles in port operations and security.
The donation highlights the importance of collaboration between the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority and the Marine Police in maintaining security and facilitating the smooth operation of activities within the Tema Port enclave.

Speaking during the presentation, Major General Tanye-Kulono reaffirmed GPHA’s commitment to working closely with the Tema Marine Police Command to enhance its ability to perform its duties effectively.
He emphasised the importance of cooperation between the port authority and the security agency in supporting port operations and strengthening maritime security.
The GPHA Director-General also assured the Command that the Authority would take responsibility for the regular servicing and maintenance of the Great Wall Motors pickup to ensure its longevity and continued operational efficiency.
The maintenance commitment is expected to help keep the vehicle in good condition and enable the Marine Police to use it reliably in carrying out its assigned responsibilities.

He pledged that the pickup vehicle would be put to effective use to support the Command’s operations and improve its ability to carry out its mandate.
