Role in marine infrastructure
Gambia Ports Authority is the statutory public corporation established in 1972 to provide, operate and regulate port facilities in the public interest. It administers the Port of Banjul, Banjul Fisheries Jetty, Banjul Shipyard and ferry assets. The authority publishes a 26-nautical-mile access channel, round-the-clock pilotage, navigation aids, tug and maintenance-dredging capability, while the linked expansion record separates its owner and regulatory position from concession operations and project-specific delivery.
