The Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) says it plans to build three ports along the country's coastline. According to local media reports, the new ports are intended to meet increased capacity, improve handling services, and accommodate future growth. Local reports also say that TPA has invested in an inland container depot in order to reduce container congestion at its Dar Es Salaam port. The three ports will be built at Bagamoyo, Mwambani, and Tanga.
