Dac... you do talk b o l l o c ks

" PF and TB won't be going anywhere without both getting their Astra Zenica injections."

It is not a pre-requisite in any country in the world that you have to be vaccinated before you can travel.

Nice work Big ears.-- good to know.

Kyoto Convention guidelines to specific Annex E

-- and are the GPHA.. signed up to that convention?... or is that just a bit of fluff that you have found?---

Bigears..

So the audited 2019 H2 numbers at 312k scanned crates ( 6 months business) coming in at half of the total laden container throughput for 2019 was just a coincidence..................|o:
---

This was the first half years traffic with soft start up,... and based on 2 berths in use not the current 3.

Dac,,.... I'm not focussing on retail at all. You started talking about goods and sales, not me.

The only important number for us is the number of containers being scanned. We don't sell or buy what's in them, and I have shown that their is a difference between a 'laden' container.... and an empty container.

The Bank of Ghana is clearly focussed on laden containers because that actually measures the amount of produce entering and leaving the country.

BUT we scanned all containers,... laden or not,... and the container movement in Tema is now in excess of 1M TEU's--- that is all I am saying.

How many are in transhipment,... whether the 1M includes the transhipment containers and whether the trans-shipment containers are in fact scanned or not.... I do not know.

You say that transhipment TEU's aren't scanned. Can you provide a link confirming that?

Are empty containers scanned ? I don’t know !
---

Yes, they are at Tema.

Lucky we don't make oxo cubes then,...

"Good facts from bigears. Fooler has mislead again on this one "

What did PF say that you disagree with.

The figures that you are quoting aren't correct. I posted the TEU's handled by Tema ... as published by the Ghana Port Authorities this morning.

... over 1M TEU's.

Why re-post the same mis-information?

Hi Dacorum,..

"You don't order things from abroad if you cannot sell them due to one of the worst global pandemics on record."

Yes I noticed that in Sainsbury's today,... there was no one shopping and nothing on the shelves,.. and then when I went to Wickes.... there was nothing on the shelves,... and those pesky coffee houses weren't selling coffee either,... oh... wait.... yes they were?..---

Why don't you try backing up some of your arguments with actual facts? We would all be happier then,.. because at least we aren't just dealing with conjecture and we can discuss the issues constructively?

How about starting with the actual number of TEU's scanned at Tema,...--?

Big Ears, the Bak of Ghana refers to 'laden' containers not total TEU's processed.

We are scanning ALL containers in to and out of the country and the figures for container movements in much higher.

2019 was 1,000,926 for instance, ... and that was before the opening of the new berths. That will be for the whole port,.. the older part which mainly handle the 'bulk', loose materials and the shallower depth ships,.. etc.,-- although many of those have migrated to Terminal 3 where we are now operating.

Hope that helps.

Big Ears...

The Bank of Ghana figures describe the TEU's as 'laden'--- but we are scanning all, containers,..so the container traffic is the important figure... and for 2019, that was 1,000,926 TEU's at Tema.

https://unity.ghanaports.org/publications/f30f9170c80d45fca326096afac12726.pdf

That is from the GPHA, Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority.

Hope that helps.

three putt,

2021-think we are looking at 1.2-1.4 million TEU's at circa $3-4US to WSG per TEU scanned.

If you go for the lows--- 1.2 M x $3= $3.6M= circa £2.75M
If you go for highs---- 1.4M x $4= $5.6M US = circa £4.30M

So, for 2021...probably between £3-4M.

However, the final berth , is due to be completed during the 2nd half of 2021; once that is completed the Port facilities could handle 3.5M teu's/annum,.... so there is considerable potential for the volumes to ramp up,.... it obviously comes down to the ramping up of the port etc., and the relevant bodies developing and growing the business.

You seem new to this board.... I must say,.. your contributions to date have been enlightening. Thanks for sharing.
Just why have you appeared out of the blue,.. have you bought in?

Dac

What margin are WSG making at Tema?

You clearly know as you say it is small?

If I were baiting you I ask you I would ask you mean when you use the word 'sham'... to describe the company that you are invested in,,,, and then,.. after being called out... you retract, that by saying,.." Mike, I don't mean it in the strictest sense of the word"....

Mmm ...what is the un-strict sense of the word 'sham"-

But hey ho,... I'm not baiting you so please don't respond.

Not baiting you... unless you call entering in to debate,.. baiting?

ant,.

OK.. i get that. They most certainly have failed to deliver on some fronts over the past few years- But there are now two MSC in place,... and a third ( according to my research arriving in the short term),---

What i didn't understand from your previous post was how see the situation as so binary-- ie 2 MSC's and they are a 'sham'-- ( which is a pretty damming comment)...and yet 3 MSC' and they are ok?-- I find that bizarre,.. but hey,..each to his own. As you say... let's hope the next one isn't far away.

Best.

Ant,.. Fair do's. That is your opinion.

But I have to question what you said, .. your logic and your reasoning.

You said,.. that at present,... even though the company has two long term,.. multi million pound contracts,... up and running... that they are,.. a 'sham'.

Yet if they win one more,.. you will take them seriously.

Would love you to explain that.

Heaven forbid we come on here and post actual research,.. whilst you spout the same old ' another week closer to the next raise"....

Hysterical.

What do you think about the possibility of Uganda and the info found? Is that of any interest to you whatever,.. because the only reference that you have made to it,.. appears to be to **** off the posters who have found those articles.
