DP World has reached a major milestone at Senegal’s $1.2 billion Port of Ndayane, completing capital dredging works 13 months ahead of schedule. The non-blasting excavation of a 5-kilometer, 20-meter-deep channel now allows quay construction to begin early. This milestone accelerates progress toward the port's planned 2028 operational launch.
Designed as Senegal's next-generation deep-water container gateway, Ndayane will feature an 875-meter berth pocket capable of handling two Ultra-Large Container Vessels simultaneously. The infrastructure relieves physical capacity constraints at the neighboring Port of Dakar, establishing a high-capacity logistics hub to optimize West African trade flows and supply chain efficiency.
The megaproject currently employs over 1,000 workers and is projected to support 2.3 million trade-related jobs, solidifying Senegal's position as a premier regional logistics hub.
