Transit corridors:
The transit corridors served by the port of Dar-es-Salaam
are TAZARA corridor, Central corridor, Tanga
corridor and Mtwara corridor.
These corridors are supported by road, rail, lake or/and
pipeline transport system.

2. PORT CONGESTION
2.1 Port started to experience congestion end of year 2006,
and severe congestion was from November 2007.
2.2 Main congestion indicators include:
(a) Long waiting times for ships at outer anchorage,
and high ship turnround times.

quay and yard operations. This is a sign of congestion
of ships at outer anchorage and congestion of
containers in the terminal.

The dwell time for the terminal from the design
perspective was 10 days. The actual dwell time as
shown above indicates that containers overstay in the
terminal thus creating congestion and slowing down10
operations.

The crane productivity has been falling down since

turnround times and yard congestion.

3. MAIN CAUSES OF CONGESTION
3.1 Insufficient container storage space.
The Container Terminal intrinsic capacity is 250,000
TEUs per annum. This capacity was surpassed in year
2004, where the Terminal handled throughput of
259,369 TEUs. In year 2007, the Terminal handled
343,436 TEUs, surpassing its designed capacity by
37.4%.

3.2 Long container dwell times
Long Container dwell times have direct impact on
Terminal capacity. The higher the dwell time the
lower the capacity, resulting in yard congestion.

Containerized cargo traffic trend has been reflecting a positive
increase of 15.1% per annum as from year 2000 to 2007. In year
2007, the proportion of containerized cargo to dry cargo traffic was
62%, as compared to 48% in year 2000.

3.4
Poor inland transport:
•
Many roads are not fully paved (85% of the roads)
resulting in long travel times.
•
Low availability of locomotives and rolling stock.

TRL : 1.0 metres gauge, with capacity of 2.5 million
tons and achieving less than 30% per annum.

The share of cargo cleared by road has been keeping on

wagons contributes to decline of cargo clearance share
compared to road mode of transport.

DECONGESTING STRATEGIES
4.1 Increase of Container Terminal capacity
(groundslots) and use of Inland depots.
4.2 Better utilization of terminal capacity within the port
(equipment, workforce, space, procedures, IT).
4.3 Joint effort by stakeholders to reduce dwell time of
cargo in the port.

Short term Action plans implementation
results:
(a)
Container stock level
Short term action plans implementation have shown
positive results by reducing congestion of the
containers at the terminal from stock level of 11,714
TEUs mid-February 2007 to 6,315 TEUs mid-March
2007. Stock level increased again to 7,897 TEUs
mid-September 2008. The terminal holding capacity
is 7,500 TEUs.
The number of import containers at the terminal has
significantly declined from 7,521 TEUs beginning of
February 2008 to 4,021 TEUs mid-September 2008.
35
Ship at outer anchorage
Number of ship at outer anchorage has decreased
from 14 vessels per day beginning of February
2007 to 0 vessels beginning of September 2008.

CHALLENGES
6.1
Creating port capacity ahead of demand.
6.2
To handle the increasing general cargo, bulk cargo
and container traffic.
6.3
Coordination with inland transport modes through
business corridors to achieve high utilization of
available capacity and seamless transfer of cargo along
the entire logistic chain.
6.4
To continue improving port facilities and capacity in
order to handle efficiently the increasing traffic.
38
6.5
Inter-connectivity and cooperation with other ports to
face challenges of traffic increase.
6.6
Setting up a good port community system with the
challenge of promoting port efficiency, cost
effectiveness and marketing. The Port Community
system entails exchange of information on cargo and
vessels among stakeholders. This will also involve
information on port related activities such as booking
of wagons.
6.7
To improve security and safety of people, cargo, port
facilities and vessels in accordance with ISPS code.
39
7.8
To continue creating a productive and motivated
workforce and manage the intellect created in the
workforce.
7.9
To complete and implement the Port Master Plan
study.
