Dar Port Still Cheaper than Mombasa

Dar port tukiilinganisha na Mombasa pekee sio sawa. Soko letu kubwa ni Zambia na DRC. Kwa ni vizuri tukalinganisha na bandari za Mozambique kama Beira na Durban ya South Africa.

port ya mombasa ili process tani 25million mwaka uliopita, wakati tanzania iko na vision 2025 ambayo inatarajia dar port kua na kiwango cha kupitisha tani 28million kwa mwaka, kwa sasa mko tani 14million .....


yaani hata mfanye nini, hio dar port fikia mombasa, labda ile white elephant yenu mnaita bagamoyo ndo inaeza waokoa, manake kulingana na vile inavyoenda, hio port ya dar ikifika 28milliin mwaka wa 2025, sisi tutakua kama 40million tonns pa

Traders in this industry are very sensitive to costs and security,beeing effective but costful will do no help to the profit-conscious traders. You should understand that efficient can just be a bonus in many situation.

Yep, Dar port is cheaper in charges. Kupakia a 20ft container is$4169 compared to mombasa's $4465. But there are far much more costs not covered here. Transportation to Kampala from dar costs $4500 while from mombasa to Kampala is $2500. Hapo dar ishakua vastly more expensive.
Mombasa port beats Dar in cost benefits

Kisha Kuna time value for money where wastage results to lost business. Clearing cargo in mombasa takes 3-4 days while in dar it's 9-10 days, more than twice the time. The global average is 3 days.

it has reduced to an average of 3 days one hour ... KPA has just anounced yesterday but one


The Kenya Ports Authority has recorded an impressive performance since the signing of the Mombasa Port Community Charter in July 2014, Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia has said.
He said in the last two years the port has not suffered any congestion, and that the ship turn-around time has improved from the average 120 hours in October 2014 to 83 hours in December 2015 against the 72-hour target.
“The berth waiting time has witnessed an enormous improvement from a high of an average 85 hours in March 2015 to a low of 15 hours in December 2015,”
Macharia said.
He said the average KRA system down time has also reduced to an average of 10 minutes from 26 minutes before the charter

Tanzania: Mombasa-Style Efficiency at the Dar es Salaam Port Could Transform the East African Economy
World Bank report shows how improving the port at Dar es Salaam could boost the GDP of Tanzania by up to US$1.8 billion and its landlocked neighbours by up to US$ 830 million
Dar es Salaam was built in a natural harbour on the Indian Ocean, 1,934 miles down the coast from Mombasa. Like the harbour of its Kenyan neighbour, transport links converge in this crucial trade port. However since the initial privatisation-driven efficiency boom in the 1990s, things have not been operating as smoothly as they should be and negative comparisons have been be made with the port at Mombasa.
Last Summer, a clutch of senior officials were suspended for violating their contract. The Tanzanian Transportation Minister Harrison Mwakyembe told Sabahi: “Customers were running away from our port because of intentional delays by unscrupulous employees who increased the cost of doing business.”
Vincent Nyerere, an import company owner, was very critical, stressing the need for improvement. He described how he had brought four containers over from China in November and half processed through the port of Mombasa whilst the other half went through Dar es Salaam. It took Kenya nine days to clear his containers. The two that went through the Tanzanian hub were still stuck at Dar es Salaam in January.
“My target was to sell goods the week between Christmas and New Year, but now if I get those goods what do I do with them?” he told Sabahi at the start of the year. “The [Dar es Salaam] port has effectively killed my business.” A new World Bank report, released last week, looks at the further reaching impact of this inefficiency and how revitalising the Port of Dar es Salaam could literally transform the country.
Tanzania is Losing the Equivalent of 7% of GDP Through Inefficiency
The report draws numerous unfavourable comparisons with Mombasa and calculates that the total cumulative cost of inefficiency in Dar es Salaam is equivalent to “a tariff of 22% on container imports and of about 5% on bulk imports.” On top of this it estimates that, “if the port of Dar es Salaam were to become as efficient as Mombasa’s, the Tanzanian economy would gain almost USD 1.8 billion per year, equal to approximately 7% of its current GDP. Regional gains would be in the range of USD 800 million per year. This is equivalent to more than USD 40 per person, a significant sum compared to current average incomes.”.......
