The Port of Dar es Salaam (Bandari ya Dar es Salaam, in Swahili) is the principal port serving Tanzania located in Kurasini ward of Temeke District of Dar es Salaam Region.[7][8] The port is one of three ocean ports in the country and handles over 90% of the country's cargo traffic.[2] According to the International Association of Ports and Harbors, it is the fourth largest port on the African continent's Indian Ocean coastline after Durban, Mombasa and Maputo.[9] The port acts as a gateway for commerce and trade for Tanzania and numerous bordering landlocked states.
