The board of directors of the World-wide Bank has approved of the distribution of a subsidy of 12 million dollars and the concession of a credit line of the value of 345 million dollars destined to finance Dar es Salaam Maritime Gateway Project (DSMGP), the project of potenziamento of the port To give es Salaam. "The port To give es Salaam - it has emphasized the director for Tanzania, Malawi, Burundi and Somalia of the World Bank, Bella Bird - is vital for the economies of the Tanzania and the bordering nations. The potential increment of its operating one will give an impulse to the traffics and the creation of places of work in the E region will reduce the current cost of 200-400 dollars for every day of delay in the delivery of a single shipment".
Al financing of the project, than altogether demands an investment of the value of 421 million dollars, contributes also the government of the Tanzania with an investment of about 63 million dollars realized through the Tanzania Ports Authority and the Department for the international Development of the United Kingdom with a financing of 12 million dollars.

Currently the port of call has 11 docks, of which four dedicated to the traffic of the container and seven to handling of other enclosed cargo types those containerized ones. The project of potenziamento of harbour infrastructures previews the dredging of the backdrops of the port, the channel of access and the basin of evolution, the multipurpose construction of a new dock and the improvement of the railway connections of the port.
