UAE – Mubasher: DP World commenced the maritime construction for its $1.20 billion Port of Ndayane, a project set to transform Senegal into a major centre for global trade, according to a press release.
The dredger Willem Van Rubroeck arrived in Ndayane this month, marking a major step in building a high-capacity port designed to elevate Senegal’s trade infrastructure.
The Port of Ndayane builds on DP World’s success at the Port of Dakar, which has grown from handling 300,000 TEUs in 2008 to 800,000 TEUs in 2023.
During construction, the project will provide more than 1,800 jobs and is expected to back 2.30 million jobs across Senegal once operated, including 22,000 tied directly to expanded trade.
Last March, DP World launched over 100 freight forwarding offices to expand the global freight forwarding network.
