In addition the Authority enforces the provisions of the Ghana Shipping (Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) Regulations L.I.1790 which was enacted by virtue of powers granted under the Ghana Shipping Act to deal with the training and certification of seafarers. 5.0 Activities for 2011 5.1 Registration of Ships The Authority is mandated to maintain the Ship Register by registering ships and implementing Ghana’s flag state obligations to ensure that ships flying the Ghana flag are seaworthy and operate in accordance with regulations on safety, security and marine environment protection. Flag state obligations are conducted through an effective system of ship surveys and issuance of various ships certificates. During the year under review the Authority registered twenty three (23) ships thus bringing the total number of ships on the Ghana Ship Register to 428. The details are provided in the tables below: Total Number of Ships on the Ghanaian Register TYPE OF SHIPS NUMBER Fishing vessels 343 Cargo vessels 30 Small crafts 50 Supply Vessels 4 Tanker 1 TOTAL 428 4 Number of Ships Registered in 2011 TYPE OF VESSEL NO. REGISTERED FISHING VESSEL 18 CARGO - SUPPLY VESSEL 2 SMALL CRAFTS 3 TOTAL 23 The 23 ships registered in 2011 showed an increase of 43% over the 13 ships registered in 2010. The increase was due to the awareness created by the Authority to promote the Ghanaian Ship Register by encouraging prospective indigenous investors through legislation to acquire ships including supply and support vessels as part of Government policy on local participation in shipping activities. The Authority has also computerized the system of ship registration and created a ships data base to enhance efficiency. 6.0 Flag State Implementation The Authority implements Ghana’s flag state responsibilities through effective ship surveys and issuance of various ships certificates to attest seaworthiness and compliance with relevant international maritime instruments that have been incorporated into Ghanaian laws. The flag state surveys are conducted by the Authority’s marine surveyors as well as private marine surveyors from the Ghana Institute of Marine Surveyors (GIMS). To ensure effective supervision of private surveyors the Authority has developed a matrix based on international best practice to monitor their activities to ensure that the surveys of ships delegated to them are properly conducted and certified. During the year under review the Authority issued 351 ship certificates after surveys conducted by its surveyors and that of GIMS. The type of surveys and certificates issued to ships in 2011 are provided in the table below: 5 Ship Survey Certificates issued in 2011 SURVEY & Ghana Maritime Ghana Association Total No. of CERTIFICATE TYPE Authority Surveyors of Marine Surveyors Certificates issued SAFETY EQUIPMENT 53 59 112 SAFETY RADIO 61 81 142 IOPP 20 12 32 LOADLINE 2 11 13 SAFETY 1 8 9 CONSTRUCTION SAFE MANNING 28 7 35 INT. TONNAGE 2 6 8 TOTAL 167 184 351 GMA surveyors conducting Flag State Inspection on Ship 6 7.0 Importation of Vessels The Authority provides technical advice on application for the importation of various types of vessels into Ghana. In 2011 a total of 28 applications were considered out of which approval was granted for 23 vessels to be imported whilst 5 were refused application. The main reasons for the refusal of approval for importation were due to insufficient safety information with which to assess the seaworthiness of the vessels. 8.0 Port State Control (PSC) Inspections The Authority is responsible for Port State Control inspections. Hence it has established port state control offices at Tema and Takoradi and recruited qualified surveyors and inspection officers who carry out surveys and inspections on foreign vessels that call at our ports. Port State Control Inspections commenced fully in March, 2008. As part of further efforts to curb the issue of sub standard vessels calling at our Ports, Ghana became a party to the Abuja Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Port State Control for West and Central Africa which aims at eliminating the operations of sub-standard vessels within the sub-region. 8.1 PSC Inspections Tema and Takoradi Ports The Authority is mandated under the Abuja MOU to target 15% of foreign vessels that call at Ghanaian ports for PSC Inspections. In 2011, the Authority’s marine surveyors conducted port state control inspections on 397 ships at the ports of Tema and Takoradi. Out of this number, 170 ships were found with minor deficiencies which were rectified before the ships were given clearance to sail and two ships were found unseaworthy and detained. Details of the type of vessels inspected are summarised in the table below: 7 Summary of Vessel Types Inspected In 2011 NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS TONNAGE TYPE OF VESSEL TARKORADI TEMA TOTAL TARKORADI TEMA TOTAL ANCHOR HANDLING AND TUG SERVICES 11 0 11 26029 0 26029 BULK 64 45 109 1652412 918039 2570451 CABLE SHIP 1 0 1 10363 0 10363 CAR CARRIER 0 7 7 0 364860 364860 CONTAINER 9 21 30 227243 424923 652166 CREW/WORK BOAT 9 0 9 3649 0 3649 DREDGER 1 0 1 28634 0 28634 GENERAL CARGO 31 30 61 196604 326997 523601 HEAVY LIFT 1 0 1 5818 0 5818 MULTI PURPOSE 19 5 24 161122 61952 223074 PASSENGER 1 2 3 341 39847 40188 REEFER 7 41 48 26981 213916 240897 RESEARCH 1 0 1 12108 0 12108 RO-RO 4 5 9 102860 243403 346263 SUPPLY 35 0 35 66938 0 66938 SUPPORT 6 0 6 9398 0 9398 SURVEY 2 0 2 2441 0 2441 TANKER 24 12 36 1273081 809543 2082624 TUG 2 0 2 610 0 610 UTILITY 1 0 1 60 0 60 TOTAL 229 168 397 3806692 3403480 7210172 The table shows that bulk carriers constituted the highest number of ship type that were subjected to PSC inspections at the two ports recording a total of 45 and 64 at Tema and Takoradi respectively.

Countries: Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. Thematic Focal Area: Disaster risk reduction and early warning systems Type of Implementing Entity: MIE Implementing Entity United Nations Human Settlements Programme Executing Entities: Ghana: LUSPA; NGO Côte d’Ivoire: Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development, Ministry of Planning and Development; NGOs Amount of Financing Requested: US$ 13,951,160 Deleted: 59 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT I. Problem statement Coastal cities and communities in West Africa are facing the combined challenges of rapid urbanisation and climate change, especially sea level rise and related increased risks of erosion, inundation and floods. For cities and communities in West Africa not to be flooded or submerged, and critically exposed to rising seas and storm surges in the next decade(s), they urgently need to increase the protection of their coastline and infrastructure, adapt to create alternative livelihoods in the inland and promote a climate change resilient urban development path. This can be done by using a combination of climate change sensitive spatial planning strategies and innovative and ecosystem-based solutions to protect land, people and assets, by implementing nature-based solutions and ‘living shorelines,’ which redirect the forces of nature rather than oppose them. he Governments of Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire have requested UN-Habitat to support coastal (and riverine / delta) cities Deleted: T and communities to better adapt to climate change. This project proposal aims at responding to this request by addressing the main challenges in these coastal zones: coastal erosion, coastal inundation / flooding and livelihoods’ resilience.

INTEGRATED RURAL ART AND INDUSTRY) KWAME NKRUMAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, KUMASI, GHANA MAY, 2011 A STUDY OF THE ARTS IN THE ADA ASAFOTUFIAMI FESTIVAL By Kabutey, Ernest Abraham (B.A. Hons. Integrated Rural Art and Industry) A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN ART EDUCATION Faculty of Art, College of Art and Social Sciences MAY, 2011 © 2011 Department of General Art Studies ABSTRACT The arts in the Ada Asafotufiami festival serve as strong visual and performing communicative devices of culture among the Ada people. The principal motivation of this research stems from the fact that the arts and their roles in the Ada Asafotufiami festival are almost completely overlooked when it comes to the analysis and appreciation of the festival. The Asafotufiami festival is annually celebrated in pomp and pageantry as it embodies various forms of art; it has shown a remarkable capacity for survival in spite of several socio- cultural influences. During its celebration the arts of the people are displayed. However, most of the youth and people who participate, observe and read about the festival may not know the ideologies or beliefs of the various rites and significance of the arts. Other cultural values involved in the celebration of the festival may also not be appreciated. This study seeks to contribute to the total development of Art education by providing adequate information on the arts characterizing the festival and the roles that they play.

  • Some Endangered Languages of Ghana
    American Journal of Linguistics 2012, 1(2): 10-18 DOI: 10.5923/j.linguistics.20120102.01 Some Endangered Languages of Ghana Jonas N. Akpanglo-Narte y1,*, Rebecca A. Akpanglo-Narte y2 1Office of the Vice-President (Academic), Regent University College of Science & Technology, Accra, Ghana 2Department of Applied Linguistics, University of Education, Winneba, Ghana Abstract The phenomenon of language endangerment and, ultimately, language loss is considered in regard to indigenous Ghanaian languages. It is established that two languages, namely, Ghanaian English (GhE) and Akan, especially the Twi dialect, and to a small degree, Ewe, are slowly killing off the smaller Ghanaian languages. For instance, in 1970 almost all Winneba natives spoke Efutu (Ewutu) as their first language. By 2010, 40 years later, only approximately 50% of children born to the Winneba natives speak Efutu as a first language. About 30% of these children speak no Efutu at all. Interestingly, medium-sized languages such as Ga, Dangme and Nzema are also slowly losing grounds to the three languages cited. Meanwhile there are some dozen Ghanaian languages that have less than 1000 estimated speakers each but which have held their own for a century. It is concluded that the closer a language community is to the major urban centers, the more likely it is to be endangered. It is further concluded that the language policy of the Ghana Government is contributing to the loss of Ghanaian languages.

  • The Hydrobiology of Keta and Songor Lagoons
    4 Ecological character of Keta and Songor lagoons 4.1 Meteorology and hydrology 4.1.1 Climatic conditions The climate of the study area lies within the dry Equatorial climatic region of Ghana, which also covers the entire coastal belt of the country. This region is the driest in the country and is referred to as the central and southeastern coastal plains. The coastal lands of Ghana have two clearly defined seasons, the Dry season and the Rainy season. The Rainy season exhibits double maxima, the main one occurring between April and June and the minor one between September and October. June is normally the wettest month in the area. The annual isohyetal pattern of the coastal belt has the minimum in the west outside Accra up and close to Songor lagoon in the east. The prevailing wind direction is from the southwest (the southwest monsoons). This is a characteristic feature for the entire coastal belt of the country. Mean monthly averages of daily wind speed range between 21.1 to 29.0 km h-1. However, high velocity winds (110 km h-1) of short duration have been recorded in Accra. The north east trade winds rarely reach the coast. Day light and sunshine (hrs) in project area The day length varies between 11.8 h and 12.5 h in the study area. It reaches its maximum in June and minimum in January. Daily sunshine duration is least in June (4.8 h) when there is maximum cloud cover and maximum in November (8.4 h) with a mean of 6.9 h.
