Katavi. Construction of four large cargo vessels at Karema Port has reached more than 95 percent completion, a development expected to open up trade and economic opportunities between Tanzania and neighbouring countries bordering Lake Tanganyika.
Officials say the vessels will operate between Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Zambia and Burundi, facilitating the transportation of minerals, agricultural produce and other goods, while also creating employment and increasing household incomes.
