Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>SHIPPING and logistics stakeholders have welcomed the government\u2019s efforts aimed at optimizing potentials in the blue economy, saying that was a way to go for boosting the country\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Malya, a shipping guru who is also former president of the Tanzania Shipping Agents Association, said the blue economy has numerous potentials and called for stakeholders to creatively think about investment ventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe in the shipping and logistics industry, need to think outside the box. The blue economy is not just about transporting cargo, but we can also think of venturing into operating cruising vessels for marine tourism,\u201d he said yesterday in Dar es Salaam during the launching of a book titled: \u201cEnhancing Your Knowledge in Shipping\u2019.<\/p>\n

The book was written by an expert of the industry, Mr Julius Nguhula, who is also a lecturer of the shipping and logistics.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the book, Mr Nguhula pointed out that his passion for the industry is to uphold the profession and make it recognized as standalone industry. He argued that currently the industry is not well understood since it is covered in the transport sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe book has come to bring out potentials of the shipping and logistics industry so that they get to be known. We also saw an importance of writing the book to inspire students,\u201d he said. It is expected that the book will help students, businesspeople, policy makers, teachers, regulators and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Shippers at the event vowed that they will make sure that the book becomes one of key items in their offices so that they read and nourish their knowledge and skills on the industry for improving efficiency, calling upon education institutions also to use the book. Representative of the Women Seafarers of Association (WOMESA), Fortunata Kakwaya, commented: \u201cWe have been pleased for the author\u2019s decision to write this book.\u201d She expressed hopes that the book will provide them with skills for efficient operation of shipping and logistics since there have been several technological changes in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our hope that the book will also inspire more women to venture into the shipping and logistics industry after getting skills from this book,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

One of former students of the author, Mr Deogratius David, said there was still shortage of books on shipping and logistics in the college libraries, noting that the launching of the book is a positive gesture in feeding libraries with books on that profession.<\/p>\n

\u2018Such books will contribute to building a blue economy which is currently a big agenda in Zanzibar,\u201d Mr David argued. Dr Charles Kimei, who was guest of honour at the event, said the book is not only helpful in imparting knowledge but also a reference textbook.<\/p>\n

Dr Kimei commended the government plan to purchase shipping vessels for both mainland and Zanzibar as he emphasized on the benefits of the blue economy.<\/p>\n
