Vessel Description

WAFA 3 is a small general cargo vessel built in 1987 and operating under the Mauritanian flag. The vessel is engaged in coastal and short-sea trading activities primarily along the West African coast. As a vessel of her size and age, she is typically employed in the carriage of general and bulk cargoes between regional ports. The vessel's relatively modest deadweight capacity and dimensions make her well-suited for smaller port facilities and shallow-draft berths characteristic of the West African coastal trading environment.
