![[Port Autonome de Dakar flag]](../images/s/sn$padk.gif)
image by Olivier Touzeau, 3 December 2012The Port Autonome de Dakar (PAD) is a public company headquartered in Dakar,
and manages of course the port of Dakar. Thanks to the strategic position of its
sheltered harbor, Dakar was in 2007 the third largest port in the sub-region
after the Autonomous Port of Abidjan and Lagos Port, and ranked ninth on the
continent.
The flag of Dakar Port Authority, hoisted in front of the
main building of the International Maritime Station (Gare Maritime
Internationale), is white with in small size in the center the logo of the Port
autonome, on which is added the text “Gare Maritime Internationale”. The logo
shows a shell of cowry. The shells of cowries were used for centuries as a
currency in Africa.
