Shipping from Iran to Tema, Ghana via Mersin & Poti

Tema is widely recognized by shipping lines as the best-performing container port in West and Central Africa — a genuinely strong option alongside Dakar for cargo headed to this part of the continent.

The Route: Iran → Mersin/Poti → Tema

Cargo is trucked from Iran to Mersin, Turkey or Poti, Georgia, then by sea to the Port of Tema, operated by Meridian Port Services — a joint venture between the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, APM Terminals, and Africa Global Logistics.

Shipping Time from Iran to Tema: The Real Breakdown

Both via Mersin and via Poti: 32-45 days total, door-to-door.

Unlike some other African routes where one origin port clearly outperforms the other, Tema is served comparably well from both Mersin and Poti — giving you flexibility to route through whichever works better for your specific shipment schedule.

FCL Focus

As with our other routes, FCL shipping — 20ft and 40ft HQ containers — is where we focus for Tema-bound cargo.
