African copper shipments to China are being disrupted by the temporary closure of a crucial exporting port in Tanzania following election unrest.
Copper traders and producers in the central Africa copperbelt are now seeking to reroute cargoes from the Port of Dar es Salaam, leading to congestion at other ports including Durban, in South Africa, according to several people involved in the market. The port closure also means that copper already delivered to the port is stuck there for now, some of the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private business matters.
