Zanzibar Town is the economic and tourism hub of the Zanzibar Archipelago; its port connects the islands to mainland Tanzania. Azam Marine's high-speed ferries link Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam daily, with further services to Pemba and Mafia Island. In July 2026 RoRo cargo operations relocated from the historic Malindi terminal to the new Maruhubi Ferry Terminal, cutting vessel turnaround times by around 70 % compared with the old facility. In parallel, Tanzania broke ground in March 2026 on the USD 300 million Mangapwani Integrated Port on Unguja: a 680-metre main berth at 20-metre depth designed for up to 15,000 containers will give Zanzibar a modern deepwater terminal, with completion targeted for 2027. Beyond passenger and RoRo traffic, the port handles spices (cloves, cinnamon), seafood and consumer goods. UN/LOCODE: TZ ZNZ.
