Maersk launches new service dedicated to Tanzania cashew exports

Danish ocean carrier Maersk will launch a new seasonal ocean service from Tanzania’s Mtwara port to facilitate cashew exports from Tanzania to destination markets in China, India, and Vietnam.

The Korosho Express will run between Mtwara and Kenya’s major port of Mombasa, according to Maersk’s representative, and from Kenya, the cargo will connect to other services to the aforementioned destination markets.

The new bi-weekly Korosho Express service is specifically designed to support the Tanzania cashew trade and will commence operations in late October, running through February 2025, aligning with the peak cashew season.

The Korosho Express will connect the port of Mtwara with key hubs in China, Vietnam, and India.

“The introduction of the Korosho Express service reflects our dedication to providing tailored logistics solutions that address the specific needs of our customers. By offering reliable, scheduled services during the peak cashew season, we’re enabling more efficient trade flows and supporting the growth of this vital export commodity,” commented Babafemi Jay Aderounmu, Head of East Africa Market for Maersk’s ocean business.
