Tanzania has begun implementing an extended free storage offer for transit cargo to neighbouring countries, stepping up its bid to capture a larger share of the regional market from rivals like Kenya.
The Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) said all transit cargo bound for Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will now enjoy 30 days of free storage, up from 15. The extension, first announced on August 19, took effect last week after port stakeholders agreed on modalities.
