Tanzania Will Delist Iranian Ships
The Zanzibar government has announced plans to remove ships with identified links to Iran from its fleet.
Tanzania Daily News reports: A report on the whereabouts of 36 Iranian ships registered by a Dubai-based firm to fly Tanzanian flags has been submitted to Zanzibar government which will soon act accordingly.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Mr Bernard Membe, told the National Assembly here that one of the country's friendly nations investigated the matter and presented its report to Zanzibar government.
"It is likely that the Zanzibar government will deregister the ships after thoroughly studying the report and also disband the Dubai-based firm which licensed them," Mr Membe said.
He said Zanzibar President, Dr Ali Mohammed Shein plans to establish another company soon.
