Products from\/to Mali usually stay for over 20 days in the port of Dakar which impacts the supply chain and increases the costs of the products. Mali imports mainly foodstuff, chemicals, building materials, vehicles &amp; spare parts as well as various consumer goods. The country exports cotton and cotton products, fines and shea butter, shea butter, Arabic gum, leather and hides, shea nuts and butter and other products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dry port of Sandiara is part of the PSE (Plan Sandiara \u00c9mergent) the Emerging Sandiara Plan, which aims to transform the town into a logistics hub and a development zone in cooperation with the Entrep\u00f4ts du Mali au S\u00e9n\u00e9gal (Emas). The project will have a total cost of 10 billion CFA francs and will include a waiting area for trucks bound to the port, a storage area, a logistic area for different companies and producers, a gas station as well as an industrial zone which will produce industrial goods for the whole West African region. In its first phase, this dry port will have a storage and parking area of 4 hectares and then will be extended to reach a total of 20 hectares with hotels, restaurants, container stations, petrol stations, everything that makes up a port, including cold and ambient temperature storage facilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New service capabilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dry port will be like a Malian port in Senegalese territory and will be able to offer the following services among others :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 customs clearance&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 storage of containers&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 unstuffing and stuffing of containers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 cargo consolidation&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 container maintenance and repair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 warehousing facilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/africa-container-shipping.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Africa Container Shipping<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;we are already able to offer transport solutions from\/to Mali via the port of Dakar but the Sandiara dry port project will have a positive impact on transit times and transport costs and will be connected to the new port of Ndayane as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sandiara is a small town located at 100 km from Dakar, at 48 km from Ndayane where the new port project is planned and at 1200 km from Bamako, the capital of Mali.
