Announced as the next major port in West Africa, with a capacity of 1.5 million containers a year, the Ndayane site requires a budget of CHF452 billion (approximately $840 million). This is a substantial amount for Macky Sall‘s government, which managed to find a financing agreement with the managing company DP World. The Emirati—which has experienced unrest on the other side of the continent since its forced departure from Djibouti—will advance the funds in the form of a loan granted in Dakar in exchange for port fees.
