Bonded Stores for Ships in Ghana – Duty-Free Ship Supply by Wigmore Trading

News By wigmoretrading May 26, 2025
Bonded Stores for Ships in Ghana – Duty-Free Ship Supply by Wigmore Trading

Ghana’s major ports—Tema and Takoradi—serve as vital gateways for ships navigating West Africa. Whether you’re managing a cargo vessel, tanker, or offshore supply boat, you’ll likely need to restock essentials while docked.

That’s where bonded stores for ships in Ghana come in. These are duty-free supplies—like alcohol, tobacco, and food—delivered under customs control, for use only onboard the vessel.

Wigmore Trading offers reliable bonded store deliveries to ships at Ghanaian ports, helping you restock efficiently, save costs, and stay compliant with maritime regulations.


What Are Bonded Stores?

Bonded stores are goods exempt from local import duties. They are stored in licensed warehouses and supplied to ships in transit. These items are meant to be used at sea, not sold locally.

Common Bonded Items Include:

  • Alcohol – Whisky, wine, beer, vodka

  • Tobacco – Cigarettes and cigars

  • Snacks – Chocolates, sweets, and dry foods

  • Toiletries – Soap, toothpaste, razors

  • Gifts & Electronics – Perfumes, headphones, radios

All products are sealed, traceable, and duty-free when supplied correctly.
