DP World Dar Es Salaam has achieved record vessel performance and reduced cargo discharge times by more than 90% at the Port of Dar es Salaam, marking a milestone since the terminal commenced operations in April 2024.<\/p>\n
DP World has shifted the port to modern roll-on\/roll-off (RoRo) operations, enabling it to handle larger, more complex vessels safely, while reducing supply chain costs and supporting trade competitiveness and economic growth.<\/p>\n
This transformation has delivered a more than 90% reduction in discharge time for comparable cargo, from over 300 hours to under 28 hours, setting a new benchmark for efficiency at the port.<\/p>\n
In quarter one, the port achieved another operational milestone, with the arrival of M\/V RAMHAN, the longest vessel ever to call at the Dar Es Salaam port with capacity for up to 7,790 vehicles. The vessel discharged 779 car equivalent units (CEUs) of predominantly heavy-duty vehicles in just over 27 hours.<\/p>\n
The transition to handling cargo through Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTC), implemented in collaboration with the Tanzania Ports Authority, has enabled faster, safer and more efficient discharge of heavy-duty vehicles. This shift from general cargo operations has driven consistent performance gains across cargo categories and strengthened Dar es Salaam’s position as a competitive trade hub in East Africa.<\/p>\n
