Senegal terminates Leduc concession at Bargny port
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Senego and Dakaractu
Senegal has terminated the concession granted to Leduc Sénégal at the Bargny-Sendou mineral port, with the decision accompanied by a bill of 4.752 billion CFA francs, or about €7.2 million. The company loses its operating rights at the site, whose handover to the state was announced for the end of 2026, according to Senego.
The Dakar Commercial Court ordered on 12 November the eviction of Leduc Sénégal from the premises it occupied as part of the Bargny mineral and bulk port project and ordered it to pay 4.752 billion CFA francs to Sénégal Minergy Port in late penalties. The decision comes in the dispute between the two companies, according to Dakaractu.
The court approved the expert report it had ordered before terminating the lease. The eviction concerns Leduc Sénégal, its property and occupants whose right to occupy the premises derives from the company, with provisional enforcement of the decision.
Leduc Sénégal, a subsidiary of a French company involved in the construction of the port, had its counterclaim dismissed and was ordered to pay the costs. Sénégal Minergy Port’s other claims were rejected.
