Senegal - Dakar

The Port Authority of Dakar have revised their procedures regarding hazardous cargo.

For classes 8 and 9 for Dakar destination, it is no longer necessary to request authorisation before loading. Containers in transit to inland destinations still require authorisation.

Containers for class 1 + 7 still require pre-authorisation.

We ask all customers to advise their local agent of all relevant information.
