With $11bn Bagamoyo port, Tanzania prepares to take on EA hub Mombasa

May 2013

Kenya’s status as the region’s logistics hub has again come under threat after Tanzania signed a deal with China to set up the bloc’s largest port and expand Dar es Salaam’s main airport.

The $11 billion Bagomoyo port will be bigger than the Dar es Salaam and Mombasa ports, tilting the scales of regional trade in favour of Tanzania.

Bagamoyo will have the capacity to handle 20 million containers a year, compared with Mombasa’s installed capacity of 600,000 and Dar es Salaam’s 500,000.

The country has also secured $164.3 million from the Netherlands for the expansion of the Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam to ease pressing capacity constraints.
