Mjimwema Terminal
Mjimwema Terminal, on Tanzania's east coast, serves as a crucial link
for the country's oil industry. Situated near the Indian Ocean and Zanzibar
Island, the terminal boasts key facilities like the Single Point Mooring (SPM)
for offshore tanker berthing and the Kurasini Oil Jetty (KOJ) for oil handling.
While not a typical tourist destination,
Mjimwema offers unique experiences. Witness the impressive sight of tankers
docking and oil transfer operations. Take in the fresh ocean air and enjoy the
beauty of the Indian Ocean coastline. Reflect on the historical significance of
Mjimwema's role in Tanzania's maritime trade and imagine the bustling activity
during its peak. Shopping options are limited, with local markets offering
basic necessities. For a tranquil evening, stroll along the coast under the moonlight
and soak in the vastness of the ocean.
