Listed marine board prices
Two Tanzanian shops publish a marine board price on their websites; each row below links to the page it was taken from on 12 November 2026. Kitovu has no marine board of its own to price.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zanzibaba Timber | Zanzibar | Marine board 18 mm, 1220 × 2440 mm, VAT excluded | sheet | TZS 52,000 | 12/11/2026 |
| Zanzibaba Timber | Zanzibar | Marine board 12 mm, 1220 × 2440 mm, VAT excluded | sheet | TZS 46,000 | 12/11/2026 |
| Kamaka | Dar es Salaam | Marine plywood Xing An 18 mm | piece | TZS 47,094 | 12/11/2026 |
| Kamaka | Dar es Salaam | Marine plywood Xing An 12 mm | piece | TZS 42,084 | 12/11/2026 |
| Kamaka | Dar es Salaam | Marine plywood Tanganyika Ashoka 18 mm | piece | TZS 41,500 | 12/11/2026 |
| Kamaka | Dar es Salaam | Marine plywood Tanganyika Ashoka 12 mm | piece | TZS 33,000 | 12/11/2026 |
Of these 6 prices, all read on 12/11/2026, the lowest is TZS 33,000 (12 mm) and the highest TZS 52,000 (18 mm). Kamaka sells by the piece and does not print a board size or a VAT note; Zanzibaba Timber names the size and quotes before VAT.
Marine board price by thickness and brand
Thickness is not the only thing that separates these rows. At Kamaka the two 18 mm boards differ by TZS 5,594 depending on the name on the sheet (calculated: 47,094 − 41,500), and the two 12 mm boards by TZS 9,084. So a marine board price quoted without the product name is hard to compare.
Per square metre, Zanzibaba’s 18 mm board comes to TZS 17,468 before VAT, and its 12 mm board to TZS 15,453 (calculated: price ÷ 2.9768 m², the face area of one board of that size, rounded to the shilling). For Kamaka the same sum needs the board size first.
Why marine board prices differ
- Thickness. Under the same product name, 18 mm costs more than 12 mm at both sellers; across names, Kamaka’s 12 mm Xing An (TZS 42,084) is dearer than its 18 mm Tanganyika Ashoka (TZS 41,500).
- Product name. Two 18 mm boards at the same shop are TZS 5,594 apart.
- VAT and unit. One list excludes VAT and states the sheet size; the other states neither.
- Marine or ordinary plywood. At Zanzibaba Timber, 18 mm marine board is TZS 2,000 dearer than its 18 mm plywood (calculated: 52,000 − 50,000); the plywood rows are on the plywood price page.
How to get a marine board quote
- Name the thickness: 12 mm or 18 mm.
- Ask for the sheet size in millimetres.
- Ask for the product or brand name printed on the board.
- Check if VAT is in the figure or added on top.
- Give the number of sheets and where they are needed.
