The Port jetty will be extended by 345 meters as part of the 4th Expansion Program to accommodate up to three ships at once, and an additional 22,000 M2 of space will be added to the terminal area to handle more containers.

In the end, it is anticipated that the digitalization of information and communication processes as part of the Port of Banjul’s improvement will significantly shorten ship turnaround times and reduce costly congestion and surcharges. Sea freight costs and demurrage payments will ultimately decrease as a result of these adjustments.
