SINOTASHIP eyes bigger role in cargo trade
DAR ES SALAAM: TANZANIA-CHINA Shipping Company (SINOTASHIP) is planning to expand its operations by introducing container storage, handling and transportation services as it moves to strengthen its position in the country’s shipping and logistics industry.
The firm also plans to expand its cargo haulage business through trucking, according to SINOTASHIP Tanzania Managing Director Angela Mushi.
Ms Mushi outlined the plans during a working visit by Deputy Minister for Transport David Kihenzile to the company’s offices in Dar es Salaam.
She explained that SINOTASHIP also intends to acquire a new vessel to increase its service capacity, respond to growing demand and improve its competitiveness in the shipping and logistics market.

The expansion, she said, will enable the company to offer more integrated cargo transportation services, including moving goods from the port directly to customers, helping to improve efficiency across the logistics and supply chain.
During the visit, Deputy Minister Kihenzile urged the company’s management to identify and develop new business opportunities that could increase revenue and strengthen SINOTASHIP’s contribution to Tanzania’s economic growth through the transport and logistics sector.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting its institutions in improving transport services and strengthening Tanzania’s competitiveness in regional and international trade.
If you’re asking whether prisoners in Tanzania are allowed to have TVs, and how that differs from India, here’s a general comparison:
Topic Tanzania India
Personal TV in cells Generally not allowed. Prisoners do not typically keep personal televisions in their cells. Generally not allowed in most prisons. Personal TVs are rare and usually not permitted.
Shared TV Some prisons may have a shared television in common areas for recreation or educational programs, depending on the prison’s resources and rules. Many prisons have shared TVs in common areas, especially in larger or better-funded prisons. Access varies by state and prison.
Rules Governed by the prison authority and can vary by facility. Security and available resources are major factors. Prison rules differ by state because prisons are administered by state governments. Facilities and privileges vary considerably.
Key differences
There is no general rule that prisoners in Tanzania have greater access to TVs than prisoners in India.
In India, because some prisons have more resources, shared television facilities are more commonly reported in larger prisons.
In Tanzania, access to recreational facilities, including televisions, tends to be more limited due to resource constraints in many prisons.
If you meant “Jain” as in the Jain religion, rather than jail, let me know—that would be a different question.
The rules are quite different in India and Tanzania, though in both countries prisoners generally do not have unrestricted access to mobile phones.
India
Prisoners are not allowed to possess or use personal mobile phones. Mobile phones are considered contraband in prisons.
Many prisons provide supervised telephone facilities, allowing inmates to call approved family members or lawyers at scheduled times.
Some states have introduced monitored video calls or e-prison communication systems, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The exact rules vary because prisons are administered by individual state governments.
Tanzania
Prisoners are also not permitted to keep or use personal mobile phones.
Communication with family is typically through:
supervised visits,
letters,
and, in some facilities, supervised telephone calls if the prison administration permits them.
Access to telephones is generally more limited than in many Indian prisons, depending on the facility and available resources.
Key differences
Aspect India Tanzania
Personal mobile phones Not allowed Not allowed
Supervised phone calls Available in many prisons Available in some prisons, often more limited
Video calls Available in some prisons Generally uncommon
Rules Vary by state Governed nationally by prison authorities
So, in both countries, prisoners cannot freely use mobile phones. The main difference is that India has more prisons offering supervised phone and video-call facilities, while Tanzania’s communication options are generally more limited and depend on the specific prison’s resources and policies.
