Sénégal – Mali : Le port de Dakar prend cette mesure forte par solidarité pour Bamako
Mali's Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Madina Dembélé Sissoko, visited Senegal last week. She met with her counterparts from the Ministries of Maritime Economy and Land Transport to discuss the logistical challenges her country is facing due to the resurgence of insecurity on the Dakar-Bamako corridor.
According to Malijet, some 2,500 containers destined for Mali are stranded at the port of Dakar because of this situation.
Penalties and merchandise storage fees waived for a period of three months
Senegal's Minister of Maritime Economy, Fatou Diouf, promised her counterpart that she would help Malian authorities and traders transport this large quantity of goods to their country. This promise was fulfilled the day after Ms. Dembélé's visit to the port of Dakar.
Indeed, the Director General of the Autonomous Port of Dakar, Waly Diouf Bodiang, stated that his institution had decided to waive penalties and storage fees for goods belonging to Mali, for a period of three months, in order to help transport them to Bamako.
For him, Mali is an important partner of the port of Dakar. "More than 80% of land trade between our two countries passes through Senegalese logistics and port platforms," the authority reports.
The vice-president of the Bamako Chamber of Commerce, Mamadou Kouyaté, appreciated Senegal's gesture of solidarity. "We have observed, among the ministers in charge of Fisheries and Maritime Economy, Land and Air Transport, and the director general of the Autonomous Port of Dakar, an unwavering commitment to the implementation of the measures taken by the highest authorities of Senegal," he declared, according to the Senegalese Press Agency (APS).
