Bandari College History

Bandari College was established in 1980 to serve the needs of Tanzania Seaports. It offers training in the field of Operational Clerks, Equipment Operators and Operations Supervisory. It also provides vocational education training in engineering. It is estimated that over 95% of the workforce in the port and maritime sub-sector were trained at the college.

Tanzania Harbours Authority (THA)

Tanzania Harbours Authority (Now Tanzania Ports Authority) was established following the break-up of the then East Africa Community. Prior to the break-up in the year 1977, port training activities were being undertaken in Tanzania and Kenya. While the school in Tanzania offered training for cargo operations targeting clerks (courses such as clerical checker 'A', 'B', 'C') and equipment operations and maintenance course, the Kipevu Training School at the port of Mombasa provided courses for operations supervisors.

Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA)

Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) is a body corporate established by the Ports Act. No. 17 of 2004 to replace Tanzania Harbours Authority (THA) which was earlier established by the THA Act of 1977 for seaports, the major ones being Dar es Salaam, Tanga and Mtwara. Among other changes brought by this law, TPA roles were extended to include inland waterways ports on the lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Kyela. Currently, the authority performs the role of both a landlord and operator with the main objective of promoting effective management and operations of sea and inland waterways ports, provision of services in relation to loading and unloading of cargo and passenger services, developing, promoting and managing port infrastructure and superstructure, maintaining port safety and security.
