GHATOA is a member of the Joint Association of Port Transport Union (JAPTU) which comprises a representation from both haulage truck drivers and owners from nine inland transit haulage associations operating from the Tema Port.
The GSA and the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) are leading a reform process of JAPTU, which commenced over a year ago, to make its functions relevant to the current demands of the haulage industry.
