Port Autonome de Dakar (PAD) Reviews

A lot to do and to redo the biggest problem is le.parking

very beautiful place and waiting in a very pretty room

The cosama tellers responsible for selling the tickets are so rude

The autonomous port of Dakar is among the largest in West Africa. It is constantly improving to take advantage of its geostrategic position between Africa, Europe and South America.

Thank you again for loading our backpacks on the bags of dried fish !!!!
Nice performance, as they said, rrrrrrrr!

A place to work and meet, above all with experience

lots of movements, lots of activities, international port.

A modern station with a good security system
A restaurant is available to passengers.

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 Port of Lagos 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.

Nothing good there in jump the shuttle to the island of gaure

It is the place of embarkation and disembarkation of the passengers, visitors and tourists of the island of Goree, a place full of memories and history of slavery.

Nice views. All restaurants are expensive and the few I visited didn't have good service either.

Its a port. Smells bad etc. Head to chez Alex on mole 1 for lunch. About 200m from the gate.

Autonomously managed national company with a large share in Senegal's economy

One of the most active ports in West Africa with a positioning that makes it easy to get out of Dakar.

Well it's a really cool workplace or a beginner in the trade can become a million or even but it depends on what you invest in.

This Port is an important sector of the Senegalese and Malian economy.
The guided tour aboard mini air-conditioned buses has allowed us to gauge the size and the modernization effort undertaken by the management of the Port constantly, and the professionalism of the agents

Correct ... boarding to go to the island of Gore in complete safety.

It is a fantastic place of international trade I can one of the economic lungs of Senegal

Be ready to show your passport at the gate and before boarding. Citizens of African countries are charged 2,700 CFA for a round rip to Goree island, the rest have to pay 5,200 CFA. Upon arrival to Goree, you ll have to pay 500 CFA as touristic tax. There are plenty official and non-official guide who ll annoy you with their service proposals. Be polite but straight to get rid of them.

One of the largest ports in West Africa with a large capacity for container doors. The port offers several services nationally and internationally and is one of the most modern ports in the world. africa.The dakar More

good but total oil quality leaves something to be desired

A place that is highly secure and well maintained, and also with good service to provide comfort to users.

PAD, it is not only economic but represents a hyphen linking Senegal to the rest of the world.

Located near the old renovated train station and 3 minutes from the great theater and museum of civilization

The waits for the luggage of the Ziguinchor Dakar boat are too long

Among the major ports of West Africa there two boats managing the connection between Dakar the capital and southern Senegal Ziguinchor

The boat that makes the Dakar ziguinchor connection is a tiring means of transport,

Like all ports the activity is incessant day and night ... Port on a human scale but beware of the many trucks that roll in all directions.

No loading at the wrong road port a lot of slowness for traffic

The port of Dakar is one of the most influential ports in West Africa, welcoming many foreign ships

Very poorly constructed and operated, extensive redevelopment required to bring up to international standards

I am a seafarer and currently onboard a handy size bulk carrier. Our vessel berthed to discharge Bagged sugars in this port.

For bulk carriers,

-Expect a lengthy port stay due to shortage of trucks and other factors.

-I was not able to go ashore due to our company circular regarding the current pandemic (Covid) but as I've asked stevedores and watchmen, it seems like the city proper would be easily accessible. It is in fact, in sight from our vessel.

-Expect crowded cargo holds as they have too many stevedores here, I estimate that they have about 20-30 stevs per cargo hold

-Weather is somewhat windy. Expect sudden rains (seasonal).

-Internet connection is very nice and affordable. They also have 1gb bonus during 2400H to 0800H. Sim cards can also be obtained thru barter trade with stevs and watchmen

One of the largest ports in West Africa. Gateway to a good part of Malian imports.
