Senegal president says finance constraints lifted for DP World's $1.1 bln port
The partners broke ground in January 2022, but further discussions on finance and legal matters were needed after Sall decided to lift Senegal's stake from 10% to 40%, Abdou Karim Diarra, a spokesman for Dakar Port Authority, said. DP World has said the first phase will include 840 metres of quay and a 5 km marine channel designed to handle 366-metre vessels, with a second phase adding 410 metres of container quay and further dredging to handle 400-metre vessels.
