Abstract :
*(250~1000 words)
The increase in growth in logistic transportation in the world via inland waterway transportation has been mostly explored over the past years. This is however mostly practiced in the developed continent and countries like Asia (predominantly China and Europe (the predominantly UK, Sweden, and the Netherlands). Logistic transportation via road transportation has seen great patronization over the years and in the world resulting in less attention being given to the other forms of transportation. Due to the heavy congestion and other factors contributing negatively and associated with road transportation, various forms of transportation are being looked at to ease congestion on-road transportation. Waterway transportation has shown to be the raising means of transportation with cheaper transportation charges associated with its logistic transportation. Ghana being a developing country with the largest lake in West Africa seeks to develop its inland waterway transportation to meet the international standard and hence mitigate the congestion of on-road transportation and also benefit from the economic benefit waterway transportation brings to bear. The Volta Lake being used as the baseline of waterway transportation for this thesis under the auspices of the Volta Lake Transportation Company conducted a feasibility study that would aid with a better understanding of the practices of transportation being practiced via the lake area and how to improve it. Under the authority of Volta Lake Transport Company and stakeholders who are current contributors to the use and development of transportation via the lake, had several meetings to discuss what could be adopted and aid with the maximization of the waterway transportation via the Volta Lake. This thesis, however, seeks to base its findings and emphasis on the feasibility studies and meetings to aid with more suggestions that would be better employed and aid develop waterway transportation of logistics via the Volta Lake to various locations along the lake.
