- Friday March 22, 2024 DAR ES SALAAM
On Wednesday March 20, 2024, the Tanzania Port Authority (TPA) issued a statement to its employees regarding the change in the operation of the Port of Dar es Salaam, Pier number zero (RoRo) to Pier number seven.
The changes are based on the Agreement between TPA and DP World Company of Dubai regarding the operation and development of Piers 0-7 of the Port of Dar es Salaam for a period of thirty (30) years starting on October 22, 2023.
Due to the changes in the management and operation of the mentioned areas, the employees of the Port of Dar es Salaam were required to choose either to remain at the TPA or to terminate the employment contract with the TPA and be employed by DP World on the spot.
The management of TPA gave the information to the employees after completing a special program to educate them and provide a detailed explanation and correct information regarding the mentioned changes to its employees.
In the Management statement, Employees who will agree to join DPW voluntarily were directed to submit their information (Notice) in the Office located on the 32nd floor of the TPA Headquarters Building (One Stop Center) before or by March 29, 2024. In addition, Employees who they will not want to join DP World, they will remain TPA because the Authority will continue to need employees who will provide services in its Ports that continue to be improved in various areas in the country.
Based on the explanation above, TPA Management would like to inform the Public that, the circulating information was provided for the Employees and TPA did so in order to complete the procedures to transfer services to DP World.
TPA assures the public that it will continue to value its employees who are the most important resources in the Authority and in the implementation of this exercise, the interests of all relevant parties will be fully considered in accordance with the Laws of our country.
