DP World completes Ndayane dredging ahead

DP World completed major dredging works at Senegal's Senegal — Port of Ndayane 13 months ahead of schedule, a key milestone in developing the country's future deep-water port. The dredging involved removing over 95% solid rock without blasting, creating a 5km channel, turning basin, and berth pocket for the world's largest container vessels. The project, Senegal's largest single private investment at US$1.2 billion, is on track for completion in 2028. DP World has also invested $340 million in the Autonomous Port of Dakar since 2008, increasing throughput from 265,000 to 850,000 TEUs and reducing waiting times. The Autonomous Port of Dakar is now the highest-ranked in Sub-Saharan Africa for efficiency by the World Bank Group.
