Cost comparison SGR Kenya vs SGR Tanzania

Nimekuelewa vizuri sana.I get your points...
Waambie waambie maana hawa watanzania wenzangu "sheep head" kazi yao ni kumsifia tu yule jpm

Do you hear kwamba Tanzania imekopa Pesa kutoka Standard chartered for the aim of completing second part of sgr project from morogoro to singida?I said it before wakani-attack .
Waliwacheka nyie kenya na sgr yenu kwamba mmechukua Loan sasa Tanzania nao naon wapo at the same point wamekopa[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Kati ya contractor anayejenga na blogsite nani ndo anajua ukweli 😇😇😇 Inaonyeshaa hii kitu imekuuma sana baada ya ku gundua stesheni yeni sio biggest in EA kama vile ulivyookua unadhania
 
Taking a loan at 90% and letting Chinese doing everything even operation of ur SGR and takinga a loan of $1.46 bln out of $3.1 bln and decide on every part independently can never be the same!
 
Tanzania has 3 ports, they dont depend solely on their central transport corridor (Train +roads)like kenya does on its mombasa-Nairobi-kisumu corridor.
Their SGR will have more free capacity to carry lucrative long range goods to neigbouring countries while kenya still has to haul cargo to nairobi..Thats the logic thats how TZ wins transit goods war
 
Sio mara ya kwanza Delegation ya Uganda kuja kuangalia SGR Kenya...

Alafu hivi hujui m7 mwaka jana alipanda huo mtungi









Kama hangekua alifurahishwa na kazi ya SGR hangetuma delegation mwaka huu kuja kuangalia progress ya bandari na ICDs



Alafu unajua kwamba URA ilifungua Offisi ya kushughulikia mizigo yao hapo Nairobi ICD mwaka jana, na sasa wanapanga kuhamisha hio offisi hadi Naivasha ICD??

R u trying to say Mseveni hatapanda electrical trains SGR Tanzania ikikamilika?

 
Port of dar is under expansion..Laytime now is 4 days Same as mombasa
Meanwhile..The confusion at Embakasi ICD nairobi add anywhere from 2 extra days to months!
 
If you had read an understood what I said you would have realized that Tz will never reach that capacity in the first place hata kama wataamua kusafirisha bure!!! maybe tukifika 2050 huko ndo tutasema TZ iko na aadvantage kwa transit cargo.. Lakini kwa hii miaka ya mwanzo mwanzo all people will care about is how much cargo you are carrying.... Kwa mfano tuseme kwanzia sasa hadi pale SGR itafika Rwanda....mtakua mnabeba nini kama tegemeo lenu ni transit cargo??
 
R u trying to say Mseveni hatapanda electrical trains SGR Tanzania ikikamilika?
Mimi nilionyesha delegation ya Uganda ikitembelea SGR infrastructure Kenya....

Nyinyi mkawashwa na pilipili msio ila mkasema labda hawajaiona hio mitungi

Nikawaonyesha walishaiona, wakaijaribu na sasa wamerudi tena kuangalia imefika wapi ili wapige dili...

Sasa una ni accuse mimi ati nimesema M7 hatafanya hivyo huko kwenu .. WTF

Delegation ya Ug kuzuru kenya haina uhusiano na TZ, Wamekuja Kenya, mamefungua ofisi, wamepiga dili, wakarudi kwao ... Thats all I care about... Kama inakuuma meza wembe! lakiniusijaribu kuingiza Tz hapo ndani ya hio ziara

Sh2bn faulty SGR cranes lie idle
ALLAN OLINGO

19/05/2019

© Veronique DURRUTY/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images File photo: The commercial port of Mombasa in Kenya, Africa.Six giant cranes installed at the port of Mombasa to improve the loading and unloading of containers on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) have never worked since they were brought in two years ago at a cost of Sh2 billion, the Sunday Nation can reveal.

SAFETY
The rail-mounted cranes at Port Reitz were bought by the China Road and Bridge Corporation as part of the controversial SGR operations and maintenance contract to handle cargo on the Mombasa-Nairobi SGR. However, according to sources at the port, the massive equipment malfunctioned before breaking down and being abandoned by the contractor. CRBC built and operates the Chinese-funded SGR, which is Kenya’s single largest investment.

Investigations by the Sunday Nation reveal that the SGR operations at the port now largely depend on the rubber-tyred gantry cranes and those owned by the Kenya Ports Authority with little or no explanation on why the multi-billion-shillings investment is sitting idle.

Even more puzzling is that CRBC appears to have ignored communication from the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) to ensure that the cranes are either replaced or put in use. Each of the cranes cost Sh355 million, a figure that has also raised questions.

A port official who was present when the cranes were first tested, but who spoke in confidence, said they dropped the containers and appeared out of control, raising safety concerns.

IGNORED
“CRBC was asked to fix the problem. They brought in experts from China who failed to resolve the issue. They seemed to have given up and abandoned them,” said our source at the port.

Despite tests and inspections by China Hoisting and Conveying Equipment Quality Supervision Centre, the suppliers, in the presence of CRBC and KRC representatives in mid-October last year, the cranes have still not been put to use, putting into doubt the viability of this investment at the expense of the taxpayer.

Documents seen by the Sunday Nation reveal that in December last year, KRC asked the Chinese SGR operator to ensure the six mounted cranes were in use. The Chinese appeared to have ignored the instructions prompting a letter in January this year to CRBC general manager for operation Li Jiuping with similar demands that has also not been responded to.

On Saturday, Mr Sandy Feng, a CRBC communications official, said the company was not in a position to address the issues raised over the usage of the cranes and referred us to KRC.

“We appreciate your concerns over this matter and the operation of the SGR. However, as for the question you have raised, we suggest that you reach out to Kenya Railways Corporation to get much of the information you are seeking,” Mr Feng said despite indications in our enquiry that his company was responsible for the procurement and operations of the cranes.

KRC did not immediately respond to the questions redirected to them. However, Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia admitted that the cranes have never been used due to their operational challenges, adding that the country should expect new cranes in the next few months.

TARGET
“The cranes will be replaced by CRBC. We had a meeting with them on Thursday and that was the agreement. The first two cranes are expected to be replaced in the next few weeks. I am made to understand that their shipment has already started. Eventually, we shall get new replacements for the six,” Mr Macharia told Sunday Nation.

The situation has now forced Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) to move in and use its cranes to perform the tasks that CRBC was supposed to have done, depending on eight rubber-tyred gantry cranes to assist in loading, offloading and movement of containers around the yard. The port agency has also distanced its self from the non-functioning cranes, saying they are just a host of the CRBC and KRC. KPA said its six Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) Cranes manufactured in China by ZPMC Ltd are working.

“We have an RMG station with the six cranes providing loading zones namely lines Z4, Z7, Z8, Z9 and Z10, whereby Z4 and Z9 are dedicated for loading of dangerous cargo on SGR. From these loading zones, the cranes are used to load the bloc trains. Without these six RMGs at the loading zones, then we would not be able to attain our daily target of 10-12 trains,” Mr Bernard Osero, KPA Head of Corporate Affairs, said.


BTW the same people have been attending all central corridor stakeholders consultative meetings!

 

Cargo inashukishwa kutoka kwa meli, inasafirishwa 90km from port, inashukishwa alafu ipangwe tena vizuri sasa kwa safari za mbele.... Hauoni hapo kutakua na changamoto kibao????

Mwanzo ingekua huku Kenyakungekua na maandamano vile wakaazi wa Dar watapoteza kazi manake mnahamisha bandari yote mnaipeleka Ruvu.

Fool wapi contractor kasema Nairobi terminus ni 20,000 sq m? Is China daily a contractor? BTW here is the definition of gross area. That neans even platform area is part of that 20,000 sq m!

Floor area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In architectural, construction, and real estate, floor area, floor space, or floorspace is the area (measured as square feet or square metres) taken up by a building or part of it. The ways of defining "floor area" depend on what factors of the building should or should not be included, such as external walls, internal walls, corridors, lift shafts, stairs, etc. Generally there are 3 major differences in measuring floor area.[1]
  • Gross floor area (GFA) - The total floor area contained within the building measured to the external face of the external walls.
  • Gross internal area (GIA) - The floor area contained within the building measured to the internal face of the external walls.
  • Net internal area (NIA) (or usable floor area UFA) - The NIA is the GIA less the floor areas taken up by lobbies, enclosed machinery rooms on the roof, stairs and escalators, mechanical and electrical services, lifts, columns, toilet areas (other than in domestic property), ducts, and risers.
