Tanzania’s government signed a controversial port management deal with Dubai-based DP World.
Tanzania Ports Authority Director General Plasduce Mbossa said that DP World, based in the United Arab Emirates, will only operate four berths and not the entire port.
Its performance would be reviewed every five years for a total contractual period of 30 years.
The opposition and civil society have protested the government’s decision to have a foreign logistics company manage Tanzania’s ports.
The government has said the move would increase port efficiency and grow the country’s economy.
