With its strategic coastal location, growing port infrastructure, and active role in West Africa’s maritime trade, Ghana has become a key hub for ship crew hire and offshore logistics. Whether you’re managing coastal vessels, international cargo ships, or offshore support operations, having access to reliable and experienced seafarers is essential.

At Wigmore Trading, we provide ship crew hire services in Ghana, helping vessel owners, shipping companies, and offshore operators find qualified, certified personnel to meet their operational needs—compliantly and efficiently.

Why Ghana is a Key Market for Maritime Recruitment

Ghana is home to major ports such as Tema Port and Takoradi Port, which serve as critical gateways for trade throughout West Africa. The country’s skilled and English-speaking maritime workforce makes it a valuable source for:

• Deck and engine room crew

• Offshore technical staff

• Marine catering personnel

• Port and vessel support services

With increasing demand from oil and gas, shipping, and blue economy sectors, Ghana’s role in the maritime labor market continues to grow.
