DMG NAMED BEST MARITIME COMPANY AT MOROGORO AWARDS 2026

By Prosper Makene

Morogoro, Tanzania – June 27, 2026.

Dar es Salaam Merchant Group (DMG) has clinched the coveted _Best Maritime Technology Company of the Year_ award at the 2026 Morogoro Business Awards, cementing its position as a leader in Tanzania’s technological transformation of the blue economy.

The win comes just weeks after DMG was recognized by Forbes Africa as one of the few class one maritime companies in building ships in Africa, citing its pioneering work in port digitalization, shipbuilding, and smart logistics.

The prestigious award was presented by Hon. Adam Kigoma Malima, Morogoro Regional Commissioner, during a gala ceremony held on June 27, 2026. The event brought together top CEOs, innovators, and government officials to celebrate enterprises driving Tanzania’s economic growth through technology and innovation.

The award recognizes DMG’s commitment to _Building Dreams with Lasting Quality_ through a unified service ecosystem that spans the entire project lifecycle. Backed by international standards and deep regional expertise, the company delivers end-to-end maritime technology solutions — from initial feasibility studies through to final delivery and post-implementation support.

Speaking after receiving the award, Dar es Salaam Merchant Group Managing Director Rayton Kwembe said the honor reflects years of relentless innovation and teamwork.

“This award is not just for DMG — it is for every Tanzanian who believes our maritime sector can compete with the best in the world,” said Kwembe. “Three years ago, we set out with a simple vision: use technology to unlock the full potential of Tanzania’s maritime sector. Today, that vision is reality. From Dar es Salaam, Kigoma to Zanzibar and Mtwara, our shipyards are facilitating trade by making sure ships are running smoothly to transport goods and people across borders.

Kwembe emphasized that the win is a call to do more: “Maritime technology is the backbone of our blue economy. We cannot industrialize without digitizing our gateways to the world. This award challenges us to innovate further. We dedicate this to our engineers, developers, and port partners who work 24/7 to keep Tanzania moving.”

Hon. Adam Kigoma Malima praised DMG’s impact during the handover, noting that “companies like Dar es Salaam Merchant Group are proving that Tanzanian firms can lead Africa in technology. Your work aligns directly with the government’s agenda to modernize trade infrastructure and attract global investment.”

The Morogoro Business Awards, now in its 6th year, evaluates companies on innovation, impact, scalability, and contribution to national development.

DMG’s technology suite is now deployed across strategic installations and is being eyed for regional expansion into East Africa. The company also runs a flagship “Maritime Tech Academy” in partnership with local universities to build homegrown skills.

“This is just the beginning,” Kwembe added. “Our next frontier is connecting Tanzania’s maritime ecosystem to the global digital supply chain. With support from government and the private sector, we will continue achieving the best.”

He concludes by saying that the award solidifies DMG’s reputation as the go-to partner for governments and corporations seeking to modernize maritime operations.

Industry analysts and economists say the win positions Tanzania as an emerging hub for maritime technology innovation on the continent. Leading maritime technology consultant Dr. Amina Shaban noted that “DMG’s award signals a shift — East Africa is no longer just adopting foreign maritime systems, but exporting homegrown solutions. Their integrated approach from feasibility to final delivery sets a new benchmark for quality excellence in the region.”

Morogoro-based economist *Nicholas Gilliard* added: “Every shilling invested in maritime tech returns 3-4x in trade value. This award is recognition that DMG can continue to support Tanzania’s blue economy in driving the Vision 2050.”
