Grand Tortue Ahmeyim for BP: first rock shipment in Nouakchott (Mauritania)

These materials are transported on a 17-hectare platform built within the Autonomous Port of Nouakchott Port de l’Amitié (PANPA) where, since January 11th, they have been loaded, at a rate of 30,000 tons per rotation, onto the Simon Stevin vessel, which will convey them to the hub 10 km off the Mauritanian-Senegalese coast. 

There, “Rock Installation” operations will make it possible to build the foundation of the breakwater on which the 21 concrete caissons will be placed.
