Main Activities
The company operates as a shipping agency in Dar-es-Salaam and Mtwara,
as part of its main activities. It also attends to tramp vessels
to and from many parts of the world. The Company is currently operating
as a sub Agency for P.I.L at Mtwara port during cashew season
Cargo broking
We match cargo to vessels and vice versa for local importers and
exporters, to and from Tanzania. This is a business that was started
in 1999 and is gradually expanding.
-Cargo Tallying
We seek for services of a local company, Ship Contractors (T) Ltd,
to do tally
work to compliment our services to satisfy owners. This is a company
which is
also employed to do tallying for other lines, and the container
terminal operators
also employ their services.
Transshipment / Surface Haulage:
We do transshipment for cargo as required by owners, mainly to and
from Zanzibar, Mombasa (Kenya), and Tanga ports, where main liner
vessels find it too expensive to call. This is a very potential
market for imports from the Middle East / Far East. It is a service
that the company is planning to expand in the coming years.
Container Follow-up / Storage:
We do this as an added value service for containers discharged/
exported by our principals. We use leased depots, a short distance
from the port for bundled cargo. Weekly reports are made to owners
to minimize loss and collect appropriate demurrage, and or loss
of containers. We have exemption cases alert, should there be any
delay in container turnaround.
