Dar es Salaam. The government said yesterday it has removed all storage charges at the Port of Dar es Salaam in a bid to ease congestion and facilitate the smooth resumption of operations following the post-election lockdown that severely disrupted port activities.
The unprecedented disruption not only affected Tanzania but also had ripple effects across East and Central Africa, as several landlocked countries including Zambia, Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo rely heavily on the Dar es Salaam port for their imports and exports of essential commodities such as copper, fuel, fertilizers, agricultural produce, and manufactured goods.
