Recent unrest in Tanzania has led to the temporary suspension of operations at the Port of Dar es Salaam.
As a result, several shipping lines are redirecting vessels to the Port of Mombasa in Kenya, increasing port congestion and straining berthing schedules and ground handling capacity.
The redirection is also impacting regional supply chains, particularly for land-locked East and Central African countries that depend on Tanzania’s ports for imports and exports.
Expect longer lead times and potential additional costs due to congestion and route adjustments.
We recommend early booking, proactive communication, and evaluating alternative routes where feasible to minimize disruption.
The ICL Global logistics team is closely monitoring the situation and remains available to advise and support your ongoing supply chain operations.
