Newsdesk Report
Ghana Link Network Services Ltd has confirmed that all 18 transit trucks linked to Bill of Entry (BOE) 80226125039 have been fully accounted for, dismissing reports that six of the vehicles had gone missing following an overnight enforcement exercise.
In a statement issued on Friday, the company said comprehensive electronic tracking data and physical field verification established the whereabouts of all the trucks, including the six earlier reported in sections of the media as “missing.”
According to the company, tracking playback records showed the trucks were moving along their declared transit corridor from Akanu to Kulungugu when authorities redirected 11 of them to the Tema Customs Transit Yard as part of an enforcement operation.
Ghana Link explained that because the Tema Transit Yard is not part of the original declared transit route, the redirection triggered an automatic route deviation alert on its tracking platform. The company stressed that the alert reflected an enforcement-led diversion for control purposes and did not indicate that any truck had disappeared.
It further disclosed that its field teams conducted on-the-ground verification on Friday morning to confirm the exact positions of the six trucks. Two were located at Aflao, two along the Aflao–Accra Toll Booth stretch, one at West Point Filling Station at Tsopoli, one at Galaxy Filling Station at Dowenya, and another at Akanu.
The verified findings have since been transmitted to the Customs Division for any action deemed necessary under the law.
Ghana Link maintained that the situation was an enforcement incident rather than a case of trucks “vanishing,” noting that while 11 trucks were directed to a controlled holding point at the Tema Transit Yard, the remaining vehicles remained traceable through its real-time tracking system and were subsequently physically confirmed.
The company emphasised that its tracking systems are designed to provide evidence-based monitoring of transit cargo, improve compliance, and reduce uncertainty in cross-border trade movements.
It also pledged full cooperation with ongoing investigations into suspected breaches of the transit regime by the Ghana Revenue Authority and other state agencies, including National Security.
Reaffirming its mandate, Ghana Link stated that it remains committed to delivering efficient trade facilitation services that enhance revenue mobilisation, support regulatory compliance, and promote economic growth.
The clarification comes amid intensified oversight of transit trade activities and enforcement measures at Ghana’s ports and border corridors.
