Dar es Salaam. Transit cargo passing through the Dar es Salaam port increased by 35.3 per cent last year compared to the previous year, a statement by the Tanzania International Container Terminal Services (Ticts) issued on Thursday said.
The increase is due to the removal of the Value Added Tax (Vat) on transit goods ancillary services by the government, Ticts chief executive officer Jared H. Zerbe said in the statement.
The number of cargo at port increased to 501,690 TEUs in 2017 from 324,593 the previous year.
“We thank all our customers for their trust in us and we are assure them our full support,” said Mr Zerbe.
According to statistics the authority released this week, container traffic at the port increased by 15,253 from 1.07 million TEUs in 2015 to 1.09 million TEUs in 2016, representing an increase of 1.4 per cent.
