HoneyWorld launches containerized bulk handling system at Tema Port

HoneyWorld, a logistics and cargo handling firm, has officially launched the RAM Revolver Containerized Bulk Handling (CBH) system at the Port of Tema. Developed in partnership with the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), this new technology is designed to modernize how bulk cargo is moved from land to sea. The initiative represents a significant advancement in the port's operational capacity, focusing on high-efficiency transfers and the adoption of international best practices in maritime logistics.

The RAM Revolver system functions by allowing the direct transfer of bulk materials from storage facilities to the vessel using specialized containers that rotate to discharge their contents. This process eliminates several intermediate steps found in traditional bulk handling, which often involve open-air transport and multiple handling points. By streamlining this workflow, the system not only speeds up the loading process but also significantly minimizes the risk of environmental contamination and cargo spillage, which has historically been a challenge for bulk exporters.

During the launch ceremony, Mr. Tabon Zuma, the Director of Port at Tema, emphasized that the introduction of the CBH system aligns with GPHA’s broader strategy to foster cleaner and more sustainable port operations. He noted that the partnership with HoneyWorld provides comprehensive logistics support that enhances the competitiveness of Ghana's trade gateways. The technology is expected to be particularly beneficial for bulk exporters of minerals and other raw materials, who will likely see a reduction in handling costs and a decrease in product loss during the transit process.

As the Port of Tema continues to expand its role as a regional hub, the deployment of such innovative technology underscores a shift toward automated and environmentally conscious infrastructure. The successful integration of the RAM Revolver system is expected to pave the way for further investments in port technology, ensuring that Ghana remains a preferred destination for international shipping lines and large-scale exporters in the West African sub-region.
