DP World has significantly improved the efficiency of the Dar es Salaam Port by reducing vessel discharge time from over 300 hours to less than 28 hours.

This achievement, part of a 30-year concession agreement with Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA), involves modernizing operations through roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) systems and Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) methods.

The M/V RAMHAN, the longest vessel to call at Dar es Salaam, discharged cargo in under 27 hours, showcasing the port's capacity to handle large ships.

The improvements lower supply chain costs for traders, strengthen Tanzania's position as a regional trade gateway, and create jobs for over 2,900 Tanzanians.

DP World plans to invest over USD 500 million, with potential increases to USD 1 billion during the concession period, supporting infrastructure upgrades and hinterland logistics.

The port now handles more than one million TEUs annually, enhancing connectivity with international markets and serving landlocked neighbors like Zambia and Rwanda.
