Logistics and network
Shipping to Tanzania.
Consignments for Tanzania move Sea from Mundra or Nhava Sheva to Dar es Salaam, then road inland. Typical transit is 12 to 16 days; discharge at Dar es Salaam. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva; CIF Dar es Salaam on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 400/230 V low-voltage supply and 11 kV and 33 kV distribution; 132 kV, 220 kV and 400 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO), regulated by Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA). Import conformity: TBS Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC): consignment-based Certificate of Conformity valid three months, issued by Intertek, SGS or TUV Rheinland under the 2025-2028 contract.
LT cable was the second product line the business added, back when it made only poles. It is now a 1,000 kilometre a month operation, and it underpins the underground cable work we are known for in the field.
Because we lay cable as well as make it, the specification we manufacture to is the one we then have to install, joint and commission ourselves. That tends to concentrate the mind on the things that matter — insulation wall consistency, armour quality and drum handling.
