    • This is the biggest port in the country. The wholec ontry lives also from fishing. This is a great place to be in contact with locals.

    Since its inauguration in 1984, the port of Nouakchott Mauritania ) has been run as a publicly owned monopoly. Unfortunately, the absence of competition has led the port to overstaffing. Moreover, labor regulation has caused high labor costs. The port has thus become costly and inefficient, and has lost market share to such West African ports as Dakar (Senegal) and Abidjan (Ivory Coast).
