The Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) has been granted a contract to transport 18 million litres of petroleum products to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for the duration of one year. The contract, granted by the African Fossils Limited of Tanzania, started this month.
The first consignment of about one million litres has already departed the Port of Dar es Salaam. The initial two million litres of petroleum will be delivered to the DRC within the next one month.
“This import order is particularly key because it fulfils our desire to balance the flow of traffic in both directions of our line as most of the traffic we are currently moving comprises exports from Zambia and DRC,” TAZARA spokesperson, Conrad K. Simuchile, said.
