The short answer
7AS Trust moves containers and break-bulk from Tema and Takoradi to warehouses, factories and project sites across Ghana, and runs bonded transit to landlocked Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. We lodge the transit declaration and bond, coordinate trucks and borders, and see the bond discharged when the cargo exits Ghana.
Inland haulage in Ghana
Containers, flat-racks and break-bulk from the terminal to Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, mine sites in the west and anywhere in between. We arrange bonded haulage when goods move under customs control to a bonded warehouse or inland terminal.

Routes depend on cargo, security advisories and client instructions and are confirmed on your quote.
Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger withdrew from ECOWAS in January 2025 and formed the Alliance of Sahel States. Transit arrangements have continued but are evolving, so we confirm the current requirements for every file rather than relying on last year's checklist.
