Chapter 99: Coastal Defense System

Besides Mtwara Port, other ports are naturally equipped with fortifications, and influenced by geographical and historical factors, the other East African ports have much higher specifications than Mtwara.

The number of coastal defense guns varies according to the importance of each port.

Dar es Salaam and Mombasa are the most crucial ports in East Africa, with a long history of port construction, the best natural conditions, and ranked in the first tier among East African ports.

The gun placements for the fortifications at Dar es Salaam and Mombasa are preliminarily set at eight guns each.

Tanga and Bajamojo are also two key ports being developed, connecting the sea area between Dar es Salaam and Mombasa, and are in the second tier.

Six gun positions are reserved for both Tanga and Bajamojo ports.
