Governments especially of emerging economies are now investing heavily on sea and air ports, rail pipe lines and roads. This is informed by the fact that investment decisions are not only made on availability of investment incentives, but also on how fast goods and services can be delivered. In Africa, continued investments in ports expansion have been noted in Djibouti, Lamu and Mombasa in Kenya. In Tanzania, due to the prospects of the oil pipeline from Hoima in Uganda to the Port of Tanga in Tanzania, expansion is also taking place. The Dar-es-Salaam port is also set for further expansion as it seeks to tap the routes to Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda.
