Tanzania in the INSTC

Tanzania is emerging as a quiet but consequential node in the re-engineering of global trade corridors. Tanzania in the INSTC is a Strategic Intelligence Report that examines the country’s potential integration into the International North–South Transport Corridor and the far-reaching geopolitical implications for Africa, Eurasia, and the Indian Ocean region.

This report analyses why Russia is actively positioning Tanzania as a logistics gateway through investments in ports such as Dar es Salaam, Tanga, and Mtwara—seeking alternatives to Western-dominated trade routes. It evaluates Tanzania’s strategic assets, including its Indian Ocean frontage, port infrastructure, and access to critical resources, which make it an attractive extension of the INSTC framework.

Beyond Moscow’s ambitions, the report maps China’s parallel economic footprint in Tanzania, India’s strategic calculus under its Indian Ocean “Necklace of Diamonds” approach, and how Dar es Salaam must balance competing interests without over-dependence on any single power. Political alignment, foreign direct investment flows, security implications, and long-term trade resilience are assessed through scenario-based forecasting.

Designed for policymakers, logistics planners, investors, diplomats, and geopolitical risk analysts, this intelligence product turns infrastructure plans into strategic foresight.

Trade corridors don’t announce themselves—they solidify quietly. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you understand where the next global logistics pivots are forming, before supply chains, capital, and influence realign without you.
