The president of the Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders Mr Edward Akrong is asking the transport ministry to take on the issue and put a stop to it. “This is why I am saying they are running rough shots and they don’t care because there is seemingly nobody to stop them. Chairman of the Concern Freight Forwards Association Oheneba Kwasi Afariwauh hinted that all affected persons at the port have been directed to resist any attempt by the shipping lines to introduce a new charge since it violates the operating laws. “We have absolutely no doubt in our minds that the so-called increment by the shipping lines has no legal backing, has no authorization and therefore be disregarded,” he stated.
