Despite its long geographical extension ship repair facilities for ocean going vessels are rather rare in this region. Tema Shipyard Limited in Ghana and Dakarnave in Senegal which is an affiliated company of the Portuguese Lisnave group, can be considered as one of the leading ship repair facilities in this region. Also Nigerdock’s Shipyard in Lagos which claims to have the largest facility of its kind in West Africa can offer a 25,000 dwt graving dock for ship repair, maintenance and refurbishment. Carena, a subsidiary of French logistics conglomerate Bolloré operates a ship repair yard in Abidjan/Ivory Coast. It has strengthened its operational capabilities with the acquisition of a third dock with a length of 175 m and a width of 26 m allowing vessels to be docked weighing up to 10,800 tons.
