Thanol operates across six carefully chosen sectors, each one essential to Tanzania's growth, each one served with the same commitment to quality and integrity.
Thanol holds an active stevedoring and port labour contract with the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) at Kyela Port on Lake Nyasa, one of Tanzania's key inland waterway ports connecting the Southern Highlands to the Lake Nyasa region.
Our TASAC-licensed workforce handles all cargo operations at the port: loading and offloading vessels, cargo sorting and stacking, safety monitoring, and shift management. We operate to TPA's strict standards and comply fully with Tanzania's port labour regulations.
Thanol's entry into the port sector was marked by a significant milestone when President Samia Suluhu Hassan visited Itungi Port in Kyela, where our workforce was on active duty, a visible testament to the quality and reliability of our operations.
Loading and offloading of general cargo, bulk goods, and goods in transit at Kyela Port.
Provision of trained, TASAC-compliant labour for port operations, shift-based, scalable.
Safe handling, sorting, and storage of cargo in compliance with TPA guidelines.
Full NSSF, WCF, and OSHA compliance for all port workforce. Regular safety audits and training.
Vessel handling support, inland waterway logistics, and marine cargo coordination on Tanzania's great lakes.
Advisory on port operations, marine regulatory compliance, and inland waterway logistics planning.
Thanol has developed a specialised energy trading and logistics operation focused on Tanzania's inland waterways and cross-border energy supply. Our feasibility study for Lake Tanganyika vessel operations identified a critical gap: reliable fuel supply across the Tanzania–DRC–Burundi corridor.
The Lake Tanganyika route connects Kigoma (Tanzania) with Bujumbura (Burundi) and Uvira/Kalemie (DRC), markets underserved by road infrastructure but perfectly suited to vessel-based fuel and petroleum logistics. Thanol is positioned to be a key operator on this corridor.
Alongside energy, Thanol operates a growing mining and minerals trading arm, sourcing and exporting Tanzanian gold, graphite, gemstones, and industrial mica (muscovite and phlogopite flake) for international buyers at industrial volumes.
