Maersk restricts in-transit cargo shipments to Zanzibar port

At Maersk, we are committed to keeping you informed of operational changes that may affect your supply chain and helping you make informed planning decisions.

Following the temporary suspension of bookings into Zanzibar due to persistent delays at the port, we have faced significant challenges in maintaining scheduled operations and fulfilling our service commitments. As a result, in transit cargo destined for Zanzibar will not be permitted for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, or Mombasa, Kenya imports. This decision ensures that we maintain the high standards of service you have come to expect from us.

Please be assured that all current in transit shipments will continue to be delivered in line with the latest updated estimated time of arrival.

Should you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please don't hesitate to contact your local Maersk customer service representative.

We appreciate your understanding and will provide further updates as soon as additional information becomes available.
