Our container, aboard the Albert Rickmers, arrived right on schedule early on Monday, East African time(nine hours ahead of us) and is now anchored outside the harbor of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, waiting it's turn to enter and unload. It is one of nine ships waiting to enter the harbor.
When it enters, our container will be unloaded and then moved through the port for customs clearance and forwarding by Bollore/AFRICA LOGISTICS, our agent.
We are now working with them to get out documents in order so that we can get our container on its way to Iringa asap. It has been a learning experience, for sure, dealing with the complicated bureaucratic procedures common to many African ports.
We are also working with Cheetah's representative in Dar es Salaam, Jerry Diaz, who is helping us understand how to navigate through the rough waters of the Tanzanian port bureaucracy...
