Trade hub interest from global firms opportune for Chinese policy model
SOME more good news were being heard from the port of Dar es Salaam late last week, that ship handling improvements and enhanced efficiency at the port has caught the attention of three global metal giants, now exploring opportunities to expand their operations in Africa. It cements the feeling that Dar is emerging as a key trade hub, with senior port officials citing the China Metal Storage and Transport Company (CMST), Mercuria Corporation and its subsidiary Henry Bath & Son Ltd as showing that interest. Top executives of those firms were at hand to underline precisely the same feeling, which lights up then path for still more companies, surely.
