Sadly words are not actions, FYI what hindered Dar port from absorbing big load is already countered up and that's why you see expansions and renovations all over the port itself, railways, border points, ICDs, auxiliary ports like on the bordering lakes, etcThe big question you be asking yourself is this one: What is the capacity of these five ports? This is a vital question because the port of Mombasa is handling more than your five ports combined. Consider also the fact that Kilindini harbor, which where the port of Mombasa is constrctured, is the deepest in east Africa. This means bigger ships can dock in Mombasa compared to any of your ports. Habari ndio hiyo
So far Dar port is recording great revamp and rocket flying shipping-lines callings, bigger docking schedule even before doubbling completion
About Tanga, it's the different case when you considering that there's no Uganda oil multi billion dollars business without Tanga port.
About Mtwara, you can't talk about the massive Dangote cement firm in the region without mentioning that port, plus some several 100k metric tonnes of cashews from Mtwara all together and many leaves Lamu in the laugh stock memes
