Supporting the ‘Big Results Now’ initiative, Trade Mark East Africa (TMEA) plans to increase Dar es Salaam Port efficiency in the next three years.

TMEA has set aside over $60 million to increase port efficiency that would include reducing container dwelling time by almost half from nine to four days.

TMEA Tanzania Country Director, Dr Josaphat Kweka, said they were working hand in hand with the government to raise competitiveness at Dar Port under BRN.

“We have taken some key points under BRN to increase Dar Port competitiveness and working on them,” Dr Kweka said during the launch of logistic innovation for trade (LIFT) fund.

The country representative said the idea was to support the government initiative on increasing efficiency in the next three years under BRN.

Some areas which TMEA will support BRN are port logistic and infrastructures, operating system and port effectiveness.
