↑ 37%DP World completes dredging ahead of schedule at Senegal's Port of Ndayane. July 27, 2026 by [email protected] Dredging completed 13 months ahead of schedule, paving the way for the next phase of construction at Senegal's future deep-water port DP World has reached a major construction milestone at the Port of Ndayane with the completion of major dredging works 13 months ahead of schedule, marking one of the most significant engineering milestones in development of Senegal's future deep-water port. More than 1,000 people are currently employed directly on the project as construction activity accelerates. The earlycompletion of the major dredging work ahead allows quay construction and other critical marine works to begin earlier, supporting momentum towards the port's planned completion in 2028.Once operational, the Port of Ndayane will serve as Senegal's principal deep-water container gateway, increasing capacity for international trade and strengthening the country's role as a logistics hub for West Africa. The works included dredging a 5-km navigation channel, turning basin and berth pocket capable of accommodating the world's largest container vessels. It was carried out using two of the world's largest suction dredgers, underscoring the scale and technical complexity of the project. More than 95% of the material removed was solid rock, including formations with compressive strength exceeding 100 megapascals, far harder than those typically encountered in large-scale port developments. Despite thesechallenging geological conditions, the works were completed without blasting, reducing environmental impacts and allowing construction to progress safely. Mohammed Akoojee, CEO and Managing Director for Africa at DP World, said:"Completing major dredging works 13 months ahead of schedule is a significant milestone for the Port of Ndayane and a testament to the expertise, commitment and collaboration of everyone involved in delivering this project safely. This achievement allows us to accelerate the next phase of construction toward the port's completion in 2028, while reinforcing our long-term commitment to Senegal and our confidence in Africa's future as a growing force in global supply chains. As Senegal's largest single private investment, this USD 1.2 billion project will create lasting economic value by strengthening trade, supporting jobs, improving connectivity and unlocking future growth opportunities across the region." Clarence Rodrigues, CEO of DP World Dakar, said:"This achievement represents a pivotal moment in delivering transformational infrastructure for Senegal. The Port of Ndayane will enhance national competitiveness, unlock opportunities for local businesses, and drive sustainable job creation and skills development, supporting 2.3 million jobs through trade and improving access to critical goods and staples for 7.8 million people. We are proud to partner with the Government of Senegal and local stakeholders to establish a gateway for West Africa that positions Senegal as a premier logistics and trade hub, while delivering meaningful economic benefits to communities nationwide." Construction is now focused on the next phase of marine and civil works as the project progresses towards completion in 2028. Since taking over operations in 2008, DP World has invested approximately US$ 340 million to modernise Senegal's Port of Dakar terminal and expand its capacity. Container throughput has increased from 265,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2008 to 850,000 TEUs in 2025, while vessel waiting times have been reduced from 35 hours to near zero. It is now the highest-ranked port in Sub-Saharan Africa for efficiency, according to the World Bank's Container Port Performance Index. With the Port of Dakar operating close to its physical limits, DP World and the Government of Senegal launched the Port of Ndayane project to create the country's next-generation deep-water gateway for international trade.Located approximately 50 km from Dakar, the new port will enable future capacity expansion and more efficient inland logistics. Project Snapshot Originally scheduled for completion in September 2027, the dredging works concluded following the early mobilisation in December 2024, enabling critical civil works to begin significantly ahead of schedule. "Capital dredging is one of the most technically demanding phases of any port development," said Juan Carlos Sahdala, Group Chief Planning & Project Officer. "Completing these works ahead of schedule reflects meticulous planning, outstanding execution and strong collaboration, enabling us to accelerate the marine and civil works that will bring the Port of Ndayane into operation in 2028." The programme delivered a 5km access channel dredged to 20 metres, a 600m turning basin and an 875m berth pocket capable of accommodating two Triple E-class container vessels. Despite more than 95% of the dredged material being rock, the works were completed without blasting using advanced cutter suction dredging techniques. The project has also maintained rigorous environmental and social standards through continuous monitoring and stakeholder engagement, with 1,043 people currently employed on site.
Bosaso Port dispute reignites as traders say DP World failed to honor fee agreement. July 25, 2026 Bosaso (WDN) - Just days after authorities announced a breakthrough in the long-running dispute over port charges at Bosaso Port, the controversy has unexpectedly flared up again, with traders accusing DP World of failing to implement the agreement that many believed had finally brought the crisis to an end. The renewed disagreement has come as a surprise to the business community, which had welcomed last week's announcement as a significant step toward restoring confidence and stability at Puntland's principal commercial gateway. However, several Bosaso traders now insist that the underlying dispute remains unresolved. In a joint statement, representatives of the business community alleged that DP World has continued to impose the same disputed MT/CBM port handling charges despite the recently announced agreement with the Puntland government. They claim they have effectively been compelled to pay the very fees they had challenged throughout the dispute. The traders argued that the agreement has yet to be reflected in practice, raising fresh questions about its implementation and enforcement. Seeking greater transparency, the business community called for an immediate review of the MT/CBM tariff system introduced by DP World at Bosaso Port. They also urged Puntland authorities to require the company to publicly explain the basis, methodology, and justification for the new fee structure. In addition, the traders requested an official comparative assessment of port charges at Bosaso, Berbera, and Mogadishu, arguing that the fees imposed at Bosaso appear significantly higher than those charged at competing ports in the region. They contend that the disparity risks undermining Bosaso's competitiveness as a major commercial hub and increasing costs for importers, exporters, and ultimately consumers. The renewed dispute has prompted traders to appeal directly to Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni, urging him to personally intervene and ensure that the commitments announced during last week's negotiations are fully implemented. The disagreement had previously disrupted commercial activity in Bosaso and contributed to rising prices of essential goods across Puntland before a settlement was announced. The latest developments have therefore revived concerns that the dispute could once again affect trade, supply chains, and business confidence if a durable resolution is not reached. As of publication, neither DP World nor the Puntland government had publicly responded to the traders' latest allegations or clarified whether additional negotiations are planned to resolve the renewed impasse.

DP World, Fujairah Ports Authority sign 50-year deal for new Arabian Sea terminals. Wednesday, 22 July 2026 17:33 By ARN News Desk Dubai's DP World and the Fujairah Ports Authority have signed a preliminary 50-year agreement to develop two multi-purpose container ports. Named Al Rughailat Container Port and Dibba Al Fujairah Port, officials say it represents a strategic project that enhances logistical flexibility in the United Arab Emirates, and opens the door to wider options, higher capacity and better connectivity across regional and global trade routes. The project will establish a new deep-water trade gateway for the Emirate of Fujairah, capable of accommodating the latest generation of giant container ships. The port of Al-Rughailat is designed to accommodate up to 2.5 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) annually, along with 1.7 million tons of general cargo and 190,000 motor equivalent units (CEUs), while the port of Dibba will add up to 3.6 million tons of annual general cargo handling capacity. DP World and Fujairah Ports Authority plan to integrate each port with its own logistics zone, creating an integrated system for trade and logistics on the Arabian Sea for the country. With the two terminals operational, DP World's total container handling capacity in the UAE will increase from 19.4 million TEUs to nearly 22 million TEUs, with a significant expansion in the handling of general cargo and roll-on/roll-off vessels. The two new terminals will be linked to Jebel Ali via DP World's internal logistics network and will be integrated with the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), expanding DP World's integrated supply chain in the UAE and enabling traders to move goods more efficiently between ports, logistics hubs and end markets. The project will be implemented in phases, and construction work is expected to take between 24 and 30 months from the start date. Officials believe this will reinforce Fujairah's growing role as a global maritime hub, given its prime location on the Arabian Sea and direct access to major international shipping lines, as well as contributing to increased investment and job opportunities, as well as boosting the emirate's long-term economic growth. The agreement was signed in the presence of Essa Kazim, Chairman of the Board of Directors of DP World Group, and Mousa Murad, Director of Fujairah Port.

Dubai's DP World plans new Fujairah port to bypass Strait of Hormuz. Dubai is moving to route around the world's most contested oil chokepoint. DP World is planning to construct a new port and a container terminal on the United Arab Emirates' east coast to bypass the Strait of Hormuz after Iran announced it would be closing the waterway again, the Financial Times has reported on Monday. What DP World is actually building. DP World, a Dubai-based port operator, is planning to build a new port and a container terminal on the United Arab Emirates' east coast in a move that would reduce Dubai's dependence on its flagship Jebel Ali hub and bypass the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reports. The new port would be built in the city of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, which already has an existing harbor, but it lacks the necessary infrastructure to serve as a major export hub for the UAE. Why the Strait of Hormuz matters. The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20% of global oil trade. It sits between Iran and Oman, and every tanker carrying Gulf oil to Asia, Europe, or anywhere else has to thread that needle. Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz throughout the regional war that began in late February, and the vital waterway is at the center of an ongoing escalation of conflict between the US and Iran. That risk premium is exactly what the UAE is trying to design out of its export model. The bigger UAE playbook. The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, better known as ADNOC, has been directed to fast-track a second oil pipeline to Fujairah, the emirate sitting on the Gulf of Oman's coast, on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint. That pipeline was reportedly nearly 50% complete as of May 2026, with a target operational date of 2027. Once online, it would double the UAE's existing pipeline export capacity from approximately 1.8 million barrels per day. Beyond the pipeline, UAE officials outlined plans in mid-2026 to expand several eastern ports, including Fujairah, Khor Fakkan, and Dibba. The stated goal is to reduce dependency on the Strait of Hormuz to zero. Unusual Whales helps you find market opportunities through its market tide, historical options flow, GEX, and much, much more. The trade angle. If the UAE succeeds in rerouting exports away from Hormuz, the geopolitical risk premium baked into crude could compress over time. In the near term, though, headlines around Iran, tankers, and rerouted flows will keep volatility elevated across energy and shipping names. Iranian seizures of commercial vessels, drone attacks by Houthi-aligned groups in nearby waters, and periodic military posturing have contributed to insurance premiums spiking and shipping routes getting rerouted. Traders should watch tanker rates and insurance-linked equities alongside oil. Options market and stocks to watch. Watch for reactions across energy, tanker, and defense-linked names as this story develops: * XOM and CVX - watch for sensitivity to any change in Gulf risk premium and crude pricing. * USO - watch for flow tied to Hormuz headline risk and OPEC+ dynamics. * FRO and TNK - watch tanker names, as rerouted flows and insurance costs directly hit day rates. * LMT - watch defense names on any further escalation between the US and Iran.
