President John Magufuli has ordered the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) to hold crisis talks with Tanzania International Container Terminal Services (TICTS) as a first step towards reviewing the contract that grants the latter monopoly of container handling activities at berths 8, 9, 10 and 11.
The contract was signed in 2000, granting TICTS a 10-year licence to offer handling services at the port’s container terminal, the Kurasini Inland Container Depot and at the four berths.
