The site was a major Omani trading station and later a German colonial outpost, yet it offers no modern container or general-cargo terminals, only an open roadstead. Commercial freight relevance is therefore limited, and regular cargo for southern Tanzania moves through Mtwara or the national gateway of Dar es Salaam.
