00:22 in trade facilitation and market access in the region.

00:25 The effectiveness and efficiency of the port is therefore very important for

00:29 Tanzania's economic development as well as

00:32 the economic development of its neighbors.

00:34 14% of trade from the six neighboring landlocked countries transits.

00:40 The port of Dar es Salaam,

00:42 demand for the port has been increasing at more than 16% per year,

00:47 putting strain on the port's capacity.

00:50 Before Dar es Salaam Maritime Gateway project,

00:52 Tanzania Port Authority used to have

00:55 berth number 1 to berth number 7,

00:58 where it's only berth 7

01:00 which was.

01:01 Of handling a vessel

01:04 with a draft more than 10.5.

01:07 All vessels with draft above 10

01:10 used to queue

01:11 to wait

01:12 and

01:14 be served at berth number 7

01:16 so that they can lighten,

01:17 and then after that they shift to berth

01:19 number 5 to continue with the discharge procedures.

01:29 The

01:30 project entailed construction of a rural berth from scratch,

01:33 modernization

01:35 of the existing berth

01:37 from base 1 to 7,

01:38 but we also built a specialized

01:41 conternalized cargo

01:42 terminal from bath 5 to 7.

01:44 This is going to be an additional capacity for conternalized cargo

01:48 after bath 8

01:49 to 11,

01:50 which is the existing facility.

01:52 Vessels used to queue outer anchorage for up to 14

01:57 to 20 days waiting for berthing space.

01:59 Once the project is completed 100%,

02:03 that means

02:04 we shall have a good turnaround time of vessels.

02:08 Uh,

02:08 hardly,

02:09 they will have to wait out anchorage for 24 to 48 hours before calling in the ports.

02:24 We will be receiving the most ultra modern

02:27 vessels

02:28 which

02:30 consist of 250 m to

02:33 260.

02:34 Therefore,

02:35 that means we will increase the capacity of

02:37 handling cargo into Dar es Salaam port.kulikkaida.

03:06 The original capacity of the port used to be 12 million tons

03:10 per annum

03:11 before this expansion,

03:12 but with this expansion,

03:14 we can now be able to handle

03:16 30 million tons a year.

03:17 It is a multiplier effect in the other sense that now we have an increased which will,

03:22 will accommodate more clearing and flooding agents.

03:25 So that entails more

03:28 employment

03:28 creation

03:30 to the economy,

03:31 more revenue.

03:33 To the country and all the phases of the economy which

03:36 we will use this for export and import of goods.

03:41 We are very encouraged that the

03:43 infrastructure improvements under the Maritime Gateway

03:46 project are facilitating movement through the

03:48 port and speeding up economic transactions,

03:51 thereby reducing the overall costs of trade and transit.

03:55 This is very important for the economic competitiveness of the region.
