Tanga : Profile

Clearance

This is usually the first port of entry into Tanzania if coming from the north, and a popular place to obtain clearance. Smaller than Dar es Salaam, the offices are closer together and the officials less busy. Tanga Signal Station maintains 24 hour watch on VHF Channel 12. Captain C.J.E. Pearson, Harbour Master, Harbour Pilot and Commodore of Tanga Yacht Club will advise yachts on procedure during office hours. Customs formalities are completed at the office on Dhow Wharf, beyond the commercial wharf, then immigration clearance is obtained from the town office, close to the post office.
