Source basis

DP World's official ports and terminals page describes a network of more than 60 ports and terminals across six continents, handling container, vehicle, breakbulk, dry-bulk, liquid-bulk, and cruise traffic. The Tartus source set connects that operator model to a 30-year BOT concession, an USD 800 million investment programme, formal operational handover, quay-readiness surveys, planned access-channel, basin, and berth dredging, a new harbour tug, and the first of three mobile harbour cranes. At Ndayane, DP World Dakar S.A. is the PAD-DP World development and operating joint venture; current records connect the operator to financing, design and development of the land and marine infrastructure, an 840-metre first-phase quay, a 5-kilometre channel and 1.2 million TEU of initial capacity. At Banana, DP World is the developer and future operator; its published phase-one frame is a 600-metre quay, 30-hectare yard and 450,000 TEU of designed annual capacity, with Mota-Engil leading the first works phase. Both projects' target dates remain separate from accepted commercial service, and the profile is independent of any commercial relationship or endorsement.
