DP World, Dubai-based port operator, and the government of Senegal have laid the first stone to mark the construction of the new Port of Ndayane, the largest single private investment in the country’s history.

To remind, in December 2020, DP World and the government of Senegal signed the concession agreement to build and operate a new port at Ndayane, about 50 kilometres from the existing Port of Dakar.
