EDECS Group, a EPC contractor in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, has secured a strategic contract from DP World, a global provider of end-to-end supply chain, logistics, port terminal, and trade solutions. This contract involves the redevelopment of seven operational yards at Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam Port terminal 1, which is operated by DP World Dar Es Salaam.
The project, which already has construction work underway on-site, demonstrates EDECS’ delivery momentum and its expanding role in developing strategic marine and logistics infrastructure across the region.
Under the project scope, EDECS is responsible for designing and constructing seven dedicated cargo and material handling yards, each with an area of 10,000 m². These yards will be equipped with associated gates and supporting utilities.
The project aims to modernise the infrastructure and provide support for advanced digital yard management systems. It also includes enhanced cargo storage and handling facilities and sustainable engineering solutions to improve operational performance and future readiness.
Additionally, EDECS is implementing a comprehensive port-wide fire protection network that covers the entire port, including areas beyond the original project scope. Furthermore, a port-wide high mast lighting system will be installed to enhance safety, security, and operational efficiency across all port facilities.
Eng. Hussein El Dessouky, Chairman and Managing Director, EDECS Group, said, “We are proud to extend our partnership with DP World through the Dar es Salaam Port Modernization Project, a development of strategic importance to Tanzania and the region. Our teams are actively progressing works on-site across the project’s key operational areas, delivering the critical infrastructure required to support safer, smarter, and more efficient port operations.”
“As Dar es Salaam continues to strengthen its role as one of the region’s most important maritime gateways, EDECS is proud to contribute to a project that advances trade connectivity, supports economic growth, and aligns with Tanzania’s long-term national development goals,” he added.
CEO, DP World Dar es Salaam, Martin Jacob, said, “The modernisation of DP World terminal at Dar es Salaam Port remains central to efforts to enhance trade connectivity and logistics efficiency across East and Central Africa. Building on our relationship with EDECS Group, we are pleased to recognize the speed of execution in civil work.”
The latest award builds on EDECS Group’s proven track record in delivering complex marine, port, and logistics infrastructure projects throughout the Middle East and Africa.
Dar es Salaam Port handles more than 90% of the country’s international maritime trade serving as the primary maritime gateway for seven landlocked countries across East and Central Africa. Beyond supporting Tanzania’s trade, the port plays a vital role in regional connectivity and is a cornerstone of the country’s Vision 2050 ambition to establish itself as Africa’s logistics and trade hub.
