dbo:abstract
  • The Autonomous Port of Dakar (French: Port autonome de Dakar, abbreviation: PAD) is a Senegalese public enterprise which is headquartered in Dakar, located in the east of city. Thanks to the strategic position that gives it a sheltered harbor, it is now the third largest port in West Africa after the Autonomous Port of Abidjan and the It is also the ninth-largest port on the African continent. The port has one of the largest deep-water seaports along the West African coast. Its deep-draft structure and 640-foot-wide (200 m) access channel allows round-the-clock access to the port. Its current infrastructure includes tanker vessel loading and unloading terminals, a container terminal with a storage capacity of 3000 20-foot-equivalent units, a cereals and fishing port, a dedicated phosphate terminal and a privately run ship repair facility. The port's location at the extreme western point of Africa, at the crossroad of the major sea-lanes linking Europe to South America, makes it a natural port of call for shipping companies. Nearby over 10 km west of the port is Les Mamelles Lighthouse (also the Ouakam Lighthouse) in which the port maintains together with its beacons. (en)
  • El Puerto autónomo de Dakar​​ (en francés: Port autonome de Dakar) es una compañía pública con sede en Dakar la capital del país africano de Senegal. Gracias a la posición estratégica que tiene como puerto abrigado, ahora es el tercer puerto más grande de la subregión después del Puerto Autónomo de Abiyán y el puerto de Lagos y el noveno más grande en el continente. Liderados por el capitán Protet, las tropas francesas se apoderaron de esta costa en 1857. Las obras del puerto se iniciaron en 1862 y en 1866 se inauguró. Si bien el Grupo Bolloré estuvo presente en Senegal desde hace más de 80 años, es Dubai Ports World (DP World) la que desde el 8 de octubre de 2007 mediante un acuerdo con el primer ministro Sheikh Hadjibou Soumare obtuvo una concesión de 25 años en el terminal de contenedores en el puerto.
