Amaris terminal, a 100% Ghanaian owned terminal licensed by Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority to provide support services such as terminal operations, logistics and transport for the export community has donated some office essentials to the Marine Port and Railways Unit of the Ghana Police to enhance their activities in the port industry.
The gesture was the company’s corporate social responsibility activity to give back to the community and was a way of appreciating the police for their immense support to the business that the been operating barely three years now.
Managing Director of Amaris Terminal Ltd, Alex Atakorah, told Maritimelivegh.com that the donated items comprising office furniture, computers, storage drawers etc. will help to enhance the work of the Marine Police Unit who are key players in maintaining security at the port.
” Since we started operations, we’ve always had the support of the police; also, after three years in business, we felt the need to show appreciation to the community.
This might not seem much but we believe it will go a long way to support their work. We will look at what we can do in the future to support them better than we are doing now,” he said.
The Commander of the Marine Police Unit, Chief Superintendent Joseph Ababio, expressed pleasure upon receiving the donations, saying it would contribute tremendously towards the Unit’s daily activities.
“Computers are the way forward. And these are the best we have received so far. It will help us facilitate data processing and help us provide quicker reports,” he expressed.
He urged other corporate organisations and companies to emulate the steps of Amaris Terminals and come to their aid in the interest of social development.
