Some 2700 tonnes of highly explosive ammonium nitrate is stored in the port of Senegal’s capital Dakar. This amount is almost equal to the same volume of the chemical that caused Beirut’s devastating blast this month. According to the general directorate of the port, the stockpile owner found out a warehouse where this is all stored.
The general said that he doesn’t know for how long this stock has been stored but now he has requested the environment ministry to obtain approval to urgently remove this cargo. The port strictly flows all the rules for the management and storage of dangerous materials.
