Dar es Salaam. The volume of cargo transported to Kwala Dry Port in Coast Region is expected to double starting next month following the operational integration of Dar es Salaam Port with the standard gauge railway (SGR), authorities have said.
Located in Kibaha District, some 80 kilometres west of Dar es Salaam, Kwala Dry Port was established to ease congestion in city roads and at the port itself. The facility acts as an inland extension of Dar es Salaam Port, handling a significant share of cargo bound for both domestic destinations and landlocked neighbouring countries.
