In the recent past, the pace of new transshipment port developments in Africa has increased with demand almost always exceeding supply. Now, countries such as South Africa, Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya, Djibouti, Namibia and Tanzania are embarking on plans to build transshipment facilities of their own.
In March 2013, China announced a US$ 10billion investment in East Africa, for construction of a new port at Bagamoyo, Tanzania, northwest of the capital Dar es Salaam. Scheduled for completion by 2017, Bagamoyo is to become by far the biggest port in Africa. With a planned cargo of 20 million containers per year, it will be 20 times larger than the current port of Dar es Salaam and 7 times bigger than Moroccos Tanger Med which is the current biggest port in Africa with handling capacity of 3millionTEU a year.
