Bahari Nexus is the independent Tanzanian shipbroker that connects three sides of the market. Whether you are shipping cement out of Mtwara, sending personal effects from Dar es Salaam to Dubai or sailing an open Supramax through the Indian Ocean, you start the conversation here.
Need a ship to move dry bulk, tankers, containers or project cargo from Tanzania, East Africa or anywhere worldwide? We charter the right vessel at the right rate, with the right charter party — across Dar es Salaam, Mtwara, Tanga, Mombasa, Beira and beyond.
Moving home, sending household goods, or shipping luggage from Tanzania to family or business overseas? We arrange door-to-door consolidated container shipping from Tanzania to Europe, the Gulf, India, China, North America and other African ports.
Got open tonnage? We source East African and worldwide cargo for owners and operators — bulkers, tankers, containers and multi-purpose vessels. Send your vessel particulars, position and open dates and we match you with shippers actively in the market.
From single-voyage spot fixtures to long-term COAs, we negotiate on your behalf with the world's owners and operators across Tanzania, Africa and the global shipping market.
