The One Volta Group (OVG) has proposed an Integrated Transshipment Deep Seaport at Keta, Ghana, to combat coastal erosion and economic challenges. The proposal includes a 5,000-meter marginal wharf for Ultra-Large Container Vessels, with a throughput capacity of five million TEUs annually.

The port aims to operate under a hub-and-spoke model, reducing shipping costs and enhancing maritime trade. The project would also serve as a coastal defense system. OVG envisions linking the port to Ghana's mineral-rich regions and landlocked states, promoting industrialization and job creation. Local leaders emphasize the project’s potential but stress the importance of feasibility for attracting investment.
