The Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) is working with the Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) on plans to construct a four-line railway to transport cargo from Dar es Salaam Port to a logistics hub outside the city. According to TPA Director General Plasduce, the project aims to ease congestion at the port and improve cargo movement to other regions of Tanzania and neighbouring countries.

Official port statistics indicate that cargo traffic to and from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) via the Port of Dar es Salaam and Tanga surged from 4,180,902 tonnes in 2024 to 7,239,741 tonnes in 2025, marking a 73.2 percent increase. This development positions the DRC as the largest transit cargo market for Tanzania's ports.

Growing numbers of motorists in Tanzania are switching to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as petrol and diesel prices continue to rise, according to the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC). The shift, reported from Geita, is being driven by lower CNG pump prices and better mileage. Commercial tricycle (bajaji) operators, private car owners and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) fleets are among those adopting the alternative fuel as conventional fuel costs climb.
