Plans to have Dar es Salaam port operate around the clock have suffered a setback after some stakeholders refused to endorse the suggestion, The Citizen has reliably learnt.

Dar es Salaam. Port user charges at the Dar es Salaam Port would increase by over 30 per cent should a new tariff proposal be approved by authorities.

>If development were to be judged by the number of heavy investments especially in infrastructure, then Tanzania would be said to be on the right track—thanks to multibillion dollar projects targeting construction of new ports, expansion of the existing ones and standard gauge railways.

Dar es Salaam. As the government is planning to start constructing the Bagamoyo mega port in the coming financial year, shipping agents are worried that such a facility will have no significant impact at least for the coming 20 years.

As Dar es Salaam Port players meet today to try and iron out their differences over the plan to introduce a 24-hours working schedule, stakeholders from the private sector have proposed changes which they want to be included if they are to sign the agreement.
