5.12.1  Train  and  Equip  CEPS  to  Take  Over  Destination  Inspection   CEPS   continues   to   work   with   Destination   Inspection   Companies   (DICs)   to   undertake   destination   inspection.   Gateway   Services   Limited   (GSL),   one   of   such   DICs   recently   began   a   series   of   training   programmes   to   prepare   CEPS   officials   to   takeover   operations   at   the   ports.   The   company’s   mandate   expires   in   2010   and   officials   hope   CEPS   will   be   ready   to   take   over   destination   inspection.   5.12.2   Establish  a  Transit  Cargo  Tracking  System   CEPS  is  currently  using  the  I-­‐Transit  technology  which  allows  the  Service  and  its  partner  GCNet   to  monitor  a  cargo’s  movement  via  satellite  and  the  Internet.  A  tracking  device  is  placed  on  top   of   the   cargo   and   this   helps   officials   monitor   cargo   trucks   bound   for   Ghana’s   landlocked   neighbours.   According  to  CEPS,  a  cargo  truck  or  vehicle  is  monitored  by  four  (4)  Global  Positioning  Systems   (GPS)  satellites.  Data  is  transmitted  through  a  communication  satellite  to  a  station  in  the  United   Kingdom   (U.K.).   The   images   are   then   transmitted   to   a   tracking   server   via   internet   to   the   GCNet   tracking  portal.   The   system   enables   CEPS   to   share   information   with   other   countries   in   the   region   using   an   Information  Technology  (IT)  based  system.   5.12.3   Long  Turn  Around  Time  for  Ships   Table  5.1:  PORT  OF  TEMA  –  VESSEL  TRAFFIC  AND  TURN  AROUND  TIME  (AVERAGES)  –  BY  PORT  ZONE  -­‐  2008   PORT  ZONE     WHOLE  PORT  –  ALL  VESSELS   VESSEL  CALL   WAITING  TIME   PORT  NAVIGATION   TIME  AT  BERTH   TIME  IN  PORT   JAN       158   31.59   0.97   83.75   116.31   FEB       140   32.63   0.94   106.47   140.04   Source:  Ghana  Ports  and  Harbours  Authority,  2008   106     MARCH       118   47.64   0.89   60.49   109.01   APRIL       126   40.73   0.62   64.25   105.60   MAY       121   49.74   0.89   66.89   117.52   JUNE ��     126   39.95   1.33   64.93   106.21
