Fowler is fighting for his family and employees If some of his Mistimings screw a few LTHs- it’s unavoidable collateral damage

I am suggesting stick to making Tema a success. Forget madcap adventures in South America
Not sure what to make of KSA- if not for the influential connection it would be a ridiculous proposition- I ( and most here) do not know enough about Saudi business practice (or in fact multiple 3rd world countries). We are quite gullible though

Wsg is too small a company to have such a broad focus with multiple JVs in multiple countries. It’s a bit Too ambitious

Tema is clearly advanced

However is a joint venture truly something to get excited about? Is it as exciting as a MOU? Or LOI or even a unilaterally signed contract following a visit by the indomitable duo. Obviously it also depends on who the JV is with. Also is WSG a service provider or a training institute?

Sorry meant to say USAP

You may be right yrab!

Of mild interest the final report for the lungi airport icao USA police inspection was due in mid October

Apologies

Which would have be better- a new airport Or new bridge?
2bn is a lot- has anyone considered a ferry?

Does trans shipment involving scanning?

DHC is a busy man. Do not detain him with idle chit-chat.

He has gone out but will provide an important update in the next 5 minutes

Gpha deny revenue loss and defend customs inspection

Eskers isn’t a ramper but excellent researcher

DHC is a siren

The main source of reliable, up to date info is Ghanaian newspaper articles. It’s the same way PF keeps up to date.

Samara is too busy to email PF atm

The short time frame is to benefit gpha workers worried about their jobs and to void public unrest- MPS are not in a hurry.

Temaparty posted the RNS!

There is still a lot of negotiating to be done- gpha are tight lipped- they want to quieten union unrest
MPS want guarantees that T2 will be tightly managed with closer definition of the exclusivity agreement, adjusted according to the projected expansion
Will the terminals be totally separate or share support services?

Probity is not the issue for nick, but greater competition is- he has a monopoly in Ghana
All three need to prove their worth
The big scan companies all have offices in Tema but are more expensive and do not encourage Ghanaian expertise. The partnership model also means an extra snout in the trough and the Egyptian trial was abandoned after 6 months. Wsg seem to have been a last minute choice

The end of negotiations was inevitable

The scan provider is still up for debate

The MPS champion is probably scanport/wsg - the sudden recruitment of nidal , who has just left smiths detection must also increase their chances

The gpha champion is probably nick tc scan who they work with in takoradi and the airports and both come under the auspices of the dept of transport

The end of negotiations was inevitable, but welcome
MPS have caved in on the 20% criterion
GPHA will keep T2 open
Temaparty did not reply to who will provide T2 scans
Customs/GRA will need to relate to a single provider across T2 and T3
