New Project: DP World Dakar (Senegal)

DP World Dakar container terminal is one of the most important gateways of trade in West Africa, located in the capital city Dakar. Current port and economic zone developments will turn Dakar into a major logistics hub and gateway to west and north-west Africa. In addition to operating the existing Dakar container terminal, DP World will construct a modern north-west container terminal capable of handling the world’s largest container vessels in operation today. To optimize in and outbound truck flows at the Dakar container terminal, Camco will implement a Gate Automation System. In addition, the terminal will introduce a Vehicle Booking System requiring trucking companies to pre-register all bookings, thus ensuring that all trucks passing through the gates have completed all booking information before their arrival. At the terminal entrance, Camco will implement two camera portals that will capture truck and container data and images. In the subsequent four truck gate lanes, unmanned driver pedestals will be used to validate data and present routing tickets. A similar setup with two camera portals and two driver pedestal gate lanes will be implemented at the terminal’s exit. Full integration with the terminal’s Navis N4 TOS and Vehicle Booking System will ensure correct and timely decisions.
