WORKFORCE
TACOTEL has over 90 permanent staff and hundreds of casual staff who are well resourced and experienced in practices in the Maritime Industry. Staff work around the clock to ensure that customers are able to clear their containers within the same day of vessel arrival. This is the first time an ICD is giving the customer the privilege to clear goods in the same day of vessel arrival in Ghana. With this workforce, TACOTEL has the capacity to devan over 120 containers a day. The terminal has two devanning platforms with large areas to accommodate many containers at a time. Some of the main activities performed on a container during examination are unstuffing, partial unstuffing, unstuffing-restuffing and sighting.

SAFETY AND SECURITY
The terminal is designed toincorporate high-tech state-of-the-art security and safety systems.TACOTEL has over 40 permanentsecurity personnel deployed atadvantage points at the terminalboth day and night. These personnelare well resourced and haveundergone military training to ensurethat customer goods are in safehands. Security watch towers erectedalong the perimeter fence wallenables security personnel to watchboth outer and inner areas of theterminal.
TACOTEL has over 100 CCTV cameras installed at the stacked container areas, entry,exit and the offices. The Container Freight Station has CCTV surveillance both insideand outside with a strong control room which are on the watch for every moment atany part of the terminal.
TACOTEL safety department works within the standard framework of ISO 9001. Sincesafety of our workers, customers and the environment is paramount to TACOTEL,safety precautions are always taken to ensure that accidents and injuries areeliminated completely or are reduced to the barest minimum. As a way of sensitizationcustomers with safety rules and regulations, TACOTEL has posted boldly andconspicuously safety signs and symbols in and around the terminal. The safetydepartment educate customers and workers every morning about the advantages ofsafety and the uses of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) before work begins.
To ensure maximum protection of our customers, the terminal has been grouped into zones. These zonings are; the GREEN ZONES, the YELLOW ZONES and the RED ZONES. GREEN ZONES are areas within the terminal where everybody can easily enter with no associated restrictions or dangers. These areas include; the administration block, canteen and the agency building. YELLOW ZONES are areas where only customers who are in the terminal to do business can enter.
They are zoned into pedestrian restricted or controlled areas and they include the examination/devanning yard, the CFS and the authorities building. The RED ZONES is a no go area for pedestrians. These areas include the main container stack, the Dangerous Goods stack and security installations.
TACOTEL is the only ICD in Ghana that operates a man free terminal. A man freeterminal system is a system whereby human beings are isolated from mingling with theactivities of machines and equipment. Communication between machine operators,truck drivers and traffic control offices are done via VHF.
With VHF, human interference within the terminal is completely eliminated. Duringstacking of containers, the traffic control officer communicates with both the driverand the operator via VHF as to where a particular container should be stacked. Theoperator then confirms via VHF after positioning is done.

Equipment& Machinery
The terminal has all the necessary equipment and machinery needed to handle allforms of container. These ranges from reach stackers, forklifts, teletruks, andtrucks.
TACOTEL has an agreement with a renowned trucking company to evacuate allcontainers from the port to the terminal. This company has enough trucks to transferall containers within the stipulated time given for container evacuation. Theturnaround time of these trucks is high and many containers are evacuated within theshortest time. The trucking company is state owned and as such are insured. The truckdrivers are well trained and always undergo periodic screening for alcohol andnarcotics.
EVACUATION OF CONTAINERS FROM PORT TO TACOTEL
TACOTEL uses a modernized terminal management system called DMS. With the DMS,managing the terminal becomes easy and stress free. The grounds are marked in asystematic pattern and the information fed into the DMS which makes containerlocation and processing very fast and convenient. This eliminates physical verificationof containers in stack by humans.
