ACCESS

Minutes From The Port Autonome

The base sits on Dakar's hydrocarbons corridor with direct main-road access to the Port Autonome de Dakar. Three independent routes serve it, and none carries a bridge or height restriction — which matters when the load is out of gauge.

It is the only multi-user oil and gas base of its size within 10 km of the port.
