3 KMSC History Mr Kwaku Asiedu Nketiah Jr, son of Ghana s famous politician Asiedu Nketia Sr, registered his own company Kayab Maritime Services Company (KMSC) with the aim of providing marine logistics, and transport links throughout Ghana and the West African Sub region, with access to the industrial centers of Continental Africa. Asiedu Nketiah Sr, a former Minister of Ghana, was actively involved in community issues and decisions concerning trade. KMSC S vision to combine overland and sea marine services, linking the Ghana industrial regions with West African countries, became the focus of his energy logistics philosophy. Consequently, a diverse business developed to include chartering, freight forwarding, warehousing, custom clearance, and stevedoring. 3

4 KMSC Today The legacy of traditions and ethics as established by the founder almost still remain essential cornerstones of KMSC s philosophy today and in the future. Fast moving times, a competitive environment and a flexible approach to future challenges do not alleviate the need to preserve and maintain proven values to which the managing partners are committed. The continuous success of KMSC, however, is determined by the motivation and ability of its people. It is in this arena where achievements are realised. They are essential to client satisfaction and future growth. KMSC is focussed on satisfying the ever-changing needs of its global customers. Kaculated. Knowledgeable. Kayab 4
