Bagamoyo Port, upon completion, is expected to kick off operations between 2020 and 2021.
Construction of the port is being carried out with the collaboration of China and Oman.
When fully developed, the Bagamoyo Special Economic Zone will attract about 700 industries to become a strategic investment zone in East Africa.
The Bagamoyo port was mooted in 2013. Construction of the port has been hit by delays mainly associated with funding issues.
The project will entail an investment of USD 10 billion.
