§ Mr. CallaghanAt Dar-es-Salaam there is appreciable delay and measures are in hand to improve the facilities. In the meantime, a working party representative of all the interests concerned decides which cargoes shall be shipped month by month. The average delay in the despatch of general cargo to the port is between two and four months for all classes of shippers.
