Short Description and Scope:
Tanzania Ports Authority
Bagamoyo
The development of a new port terminal at
Mbegani area is one of the key component
of the TPA’s Ports Master Plan 2008 - 2028.
This plan spells out the roadmap for the
Authority
towards
transforming
the
country’s ports into world –class ports,
which provides efficient and cost effective
services in line with the various
Government Development Programmes:
Tanzania Vision 2025, National Strategy for
Growth
and
Reduction
of
Poverty
(MKUKUTA) and the Tanzania Mini-Tiger
Plan 2020.
In order to transform our country’s ports,
the following design criteria are proposed
for Mbegani Bagamoyo port:
i. Ability to handle 7,000 – 8,000 TEU’s
vessels ( 6th Generation ships – Mega
ships). It is expected that mainliners
with a capacity of up to 5,000 TEU’s will
start to call the East African ports
towards 2020.
ii. Good navigation access – draught of 13
– 14 m.
iii. Two berths initially with 340 – 400m
length each. RoRo berths to be
developed for handling of vehicles.

Development of Mwambani Port in Tanga
Tanzania Ports Authority
Tanga
The existing port at Tanga is a lighterage
with a 191m long quay and accommodating
2 shallow berths with a maximum depth of
6.60m.
entails
The method of operation that
double
handling
of
cargo
has
rendered this port to be relative expensive
to maintain, thus calls for development of
a green field deeper port at Mwambani Bay
to improve Northern Tanzania’s access to
seaborne trade. This site has potential for
development of 7 large berths at a depth of
more than 12m.
The new port will have
three terminals i.e. dry bulk terminal, break
bulk and container terminal.

9. Development of Kilwa, Pangani, Mafia and Lindi as Fishing Ports.

Short Description:
Development of Coastal Fishing Ports.
Tanzania Ports Authority
Kilwa, Pangani, Mafia and Lindi Ports
Growth of International Trade, social
economic changes and quest for alternative
environmental friendly source of energies
globally have led to discovery of economic
activities with multitudes of potentialities
along Tanzanian coastal ports. According
to the TPA’s Ports Master Plan (20082028), these opportunities ranges from
establishment of sugarcane and jatropha
plantations leading to export of ethanol and
jatropha seeds for production of energy at
Kilwa Masoko, and gypsum and fishing
activities at Kilwa Kivinje.
The remaining costal ports of Pangani,
Mafia and Lindi have fishing, oil and gas
exploration potentialities.
TPA wishes to develop these ports to
accommodate multitudes of economic
activities starting with large scale fishing,
which will allow calling of large fishing ships
and construction of modern fishing facilities
offshore.
The coastline is 1450km long with a narrow
continental shelf and an Exclusive
Economic Zone in the Indian ocean of
about 223,000 sq.km. The fisheries
potential for Tanzania is 730,000 metric
tons per year.
An estimated 60,000 people are employed
Proposed projects under PPP
Page 14
as full-time fishermen, while another
30,000 are engaged in part-time fishing
and fisheries-related activities, such as fish
processing, marketing, distribution, netmaking, marine engine repair, boat-building
and other activities.
The fisheries resources are renewable
resources, which are limited, and therefore
they have to be conserved, managed and
developed on sustainable basis. The
Tanzania promotes sustainable exploitation,
utilization and marketing of fish resources
to provide the intended national social
economic objectives and achieve effective
protection of the aquatic environment to
sustain development.
The private sector, the community, nongovernmental organizations and other nonstate actors have a useful role to play in
the
development,
management
and
sustainable utilization of the fisheries
resources. Support effort is important to
achieve the sector objectives. The active
involvement in the sector would enhance
investment; improve business and general
management in the fishing industry.
Modern fishing techniques have started to
be employed in the coastal waters though
in a small scale. There are significant
opportunities for investors to establish fish
processing plants, crustacean fisheries, and
deep-sea fishing in Tanzania.
These developments in the fishing industry
will require well established port facilities
Proposed projects under PPP
Page 15
along the Tanzanian coastline, which will
support large scale investors.
A model fishing port jetty might require the
following facilities and services:

4. Information dissemination such
as fish prices, volume of
processed products, species
unloaded and volume of
unloading.
5. Lease of office spaces and raw
land for establishment of fisheryrelated factories.
Project Benefits:
Development of Coastal Fishing Ports in
Tanzania will provide a number of social
economic benefits to the country down to
the grassroots levels of districts and
villages.
Even though fishing constitutes only a
small portion of Tanzania's GDP, it is,
nevertheless, an important source of
livelihood for many Tanzanians and has
been so for many years.
Many Tanzanians engaged in fishing earn
income from the activity. This income has
been increasing over the years, although
distribution is becoming increasingly more
inequitable, with the export-oriented fish
processing sector taking the lion's share.
The benefits of developing coastal fishing
ports will come through a growing and
vibrant fishing industry, which will in turn
provide:
 Improved fishers income and their
