Oil dealers now prefer Dar es Salaam to Mombasa port
What you need to know:
Oil marketers says they pay on average of $80 to ferry oil from Dar es Salaam using trucks but pay $60 tariff when using the pipeline to Kisumu and a further $35 on trucks to buying countries.
Tanzania has also upped its game by increasing efficiencies at the port.
For a long time, the Northern Corridor through Mombasa has been the preferred route for Uganda, Rwanda, Congo and South Sudan due to port efficiencies.
