There are lots of good bits to be pleased about in those links. I wonder if ICC have been back since Sept. 2019 or if they consider their work is done now? We haven't heard so imagine it must be "job done" for them.

There was plenty of good stuff from MPS in the second article from December--

Terminal 3 has been developed with sustainable infrastructure fitted with superstructure and the best of the world’s technology to deliver the highest standards to the port users. The efficiency, accessibility, the short waiting time at anchorage, fast vessel turnaround time, higher port capacity and berth availability are the optimal criteria for making Terminal 3 a hub for Africa.

Moreover, it is worth noting that three months after the launching of 2 out of the 4 berths, Terminal 3 has prompted several changes in the maritime industry and has become the first-port-of-call in the region.

MPS is on course in the construction of the second phase of the Tema Port Expansion Project and we have so far outlaid the bulk of the US$ 1.5 Billion investment in the Port of Tema. So far, we have completed two (2) new berths with a draft of 16 meters and a length of 700 meters and the third new berth is set to be largely completed by December 2019 (7 months ahead of schedule).

Shipping lines are now targeting the Port of Tema as their Hub and we are confident that having invested in infrastructure, people and technology, our efficient operations will lead to a reduction in the overall cost of doing business in the Port of Tema. We have and shall continue to work with all stakeholders to make the Port of Tema a world-class port.

This year Ghana has been selected to host the headquarters of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfFCTA). The nation has a task ahead to connect our 30 million people to the 1.3 billion people (continental market consumers) and tap into the wider $3 trillion GDP of the AfFCTA.

With the rolling out of the AfFCTA, Ghana is able to harness this opportunity in the areas of trade & industry, job creation and will significantly open up the economy to more industries and sustainable investments. MPS’ Terminal 3 has its role cut out to provide efficient connectivity between the AfFCTA markets and Ghana’s importers and exporters.

Cheers Vander - no need to cough Foxhill - I was out for a delicious curry. Amazed that anyone would extrapolate anything negative from that couple of news relseases. To summarise briefly: Tema under MPS management is developing successfully as the first port of call in Africa (with WSG involved) = outstanding success. Perhaps some teething issues evident - i.e. over eager / zealous risk management decisions being made at cargo scanning (Key backdrop: lax security at old port needing to be cleanrd up / WSG fear of security incident tarnishing reputation during crucial first start up phase (Eager puppy..... but first impressions count ) - prompts those port users who are used to easy passage sometimes paying extra charges = complaints. But MPS not unhappy - operations mean enhanced control, improved security reputation and higher revenues. ICC are acting in a purely facilitative role - to strike the right balance between all parties and to ease smooth trade. Operational issues? Yes ! SignifiCant of a wider problem? On the basis of those articles? A big Fat "No". Nice try though.

Where have you read that in an RNS Vander, or for that natter, any other source? Total nonsense speculation.

It'd a voluntary agreement isn't it ? MPS can do as it pleases (a taper seems to be what it wants)

..... then tomorrow will be the momentous day when we finally have our RNS. I will be ready with the champagne by my bedside. I'll be having it on my Weetabix!! Good luck everyone.

All Ports? Ia that all aliasp? Wasn't the cost of Tema $1.5bn?

I still think credibility would have been massively soaring already had it not been for Trump stiffing us on Iran

Won't that have something to do with the agitation by that 'wastrel', our Chairman, as posted in my link yesterday ...? In response to Foxhill's lament "What have the Romans ever done for us?"

We habe not had an RNS NON to say when DHC is back from his holiday. Why have we not had this?

Arguably "Transformational" to "Meaningful" is an upgrade not a downgrade. I have seen "transformational" used a million times with other AIM stocks without it making any difference. Meaningful is rather more reassuring in my opinion.

Foxhill - tell me again when it is not February 2020

Only1 Gibbo - you and I have made the same point - I had not seen your post just now.

Foxhill, no the exclusivity period was 30 days but this is irrelevant now. Some people here report he actually said 60 days but that was never said in an RNS. But again, not really so relevant to the practical situation other than the effect on investor perception. Enough now....

It is likely February because it is not definitely February, but based on the current information the Board thinks things ought to happen in February, or at east that is what was expected. Maybe there is a relevant Board meeting expecting to take place for the signing to happen? That's the only point isn't it? That, and the fact we are not even quite mid-way through February yet.

Last time I checked it was still February (13th), so there's a way to go. And PF's reason for being specific on dates now? You guessed it, there is a specific reason to be, well, "specific"!

Just thinking aloud now, but I am wondering if all the 'knockers' here are really just massive tits..?

Doing a valuable job (Sierra Leone):-

Yes he serms tobe doing well.

Evidencr that he does exist in tine and space .... but what's your point Vander?

Comments for today:-
1. Where can I find the nearest WSG share fan site?
2. Foxhill - please use single spacing / full sentence structure
3. Why has the board still not found a cure for Coronavirus?
4. Will Peter's feverish excitement at getting the Tema contract signed mean that he is detained in long term quarantine when arriving in Ghana?
5. Why has DHC taken another holiday so soon after returning from his last one?

Foxhill you seem to be lapsing into what some people would call 'resulting' (awful word). Given what we know now was it actually a bad investment decision for you to invest in WSG? I'd say "no" it was not, even if right now you and I would both prefer the SP to be higher. I think the decision is a good one and time will prove that, barring the vagaries of fortune and bad luck.
