Vehicle shipment to dock at Tanga port for the first time

Tanga Port is set to receive a vehicle shipment for the first time since its establishment, following significant improvements to the port.

The port’s depth has been increased from three to 13 meters, allowing it to handle two ships simultaneously.

Tanga Port Manager, Masoud Mrisha, told The Citizen recently that the culmination of these improvements sets the stage for significant development as the port is now ready to welcome diverse cargo.

“We have successfully concluded discussions with Bin Sun Shipping Line Company, paving the way for the commencement of car deliveries scheduled for this month,” he said.

The vehicles will be destined for the northern regions and neighboring countries of Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Uganda.
