Dar es Salaam port overtakes Mombasa in handling Rwanda bound cargo

[msemakweli]

Dar port has overtaken Kenya's Mombasa in terms of handling Rwandan cargo and that destined for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) writes LEONARD MAGOMBA

Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) which manages all port in the country said that last year (2014), Mombasa port handled 235,912 tonnes of Rwandan cargo which is 33% of the cargo handled by Dar es Salaam port.

In contrast Dar handled 630,000 mts. The acting Director General of TPA, Mr Awadh Massawe told Rwanda's President Paul Kagame and his host Dr. Jakaya Kikwete when they visited Dar es Salaam port.

"As a matter of comparison during the year 2014, Mombasa port handled 235,912mts of cargo to Rwanda which is 33% of cargo handled by Dar es Salaam port which was 630,000mts of cargo for the same endpoint," Massawe said.

On the other hand, Massawe said cargo to the DRC which passes through Mombasa port during the same period was 407,727 mts which was 15% of the cargo handled by Dar port.

The port currently handles 1,577,000 mts of cargo for the same destination. "This shows the importance of Dar es Salaam port and the central corridor to the neighbouring countries," he said.

The TPA chief said for the past five years, Dar es Salaam port throughput has continued to increase at an average rate of 12.8% per annum.

Last year the port handled 14.6 million mts including 621,000 containers. "Out of cargo handled, transit cargo averaged 34% which was 5.020 million mts in 2014," he said.

According to Massawe, the quality of service delivery to customers has continued to improve.

"Dwell time for import containers has improved to nine days at the end of February 2015 compared to 20 days way back in February 2008," he said.

Ship waiting time at outer anchourage is now 1.5 days compared to 3.2 days in 2013 as ship turn-round time is 3 days compared to 5.6 days in 2013 while in Mombasa port ship turn-round time is 3.5 days.

He said the rate of motor vehicles discharged per shift has improved from 800 units in 2013 to 826 units in 2014.

Nice move.

 

[falcon mombasa]

dar port itafanya vizuri zaidi kama ccm itatoka madarakani

 

[bitimkongwe]

Hao waruanda wanajishaua tu, ongezeko la masafa ya kilomita karibu elfu moja kutoka mombasa hadi ruanda gharama zake nani atalipia?

Lazima vifaa vitapanda bei.

 

[Lilambalyakwilole]

[bona]

Ngongo JokaKuu Duh! Wabongo huwa mnanishangaza sana, hivi huwa mnatulia na kujiuliza maswali ya msingi kuhusu nchi yenu??? Kwanza hapa binafsi nimeshangaa eti kwamba tulikua tumewazidi kwa kupakia malori ya Rwanda hadi ndio sasa eti mmetupiku.
Ni jambo la aibu sana kwenu nyie eti tunashindana kwa mteja ambaye kijiografia yuko kwenu. Yaani ni kama ikatokea tushindane na nyie kupakia malori ya Sudan Kusini, hiyo ndio siku nitajidharau mimi na nchi yangu.
Yaani mpo watu wa maajabu sana, mna kila advantage ya kupeperusha nchi hadi iwe ya kutajika Afrika, lakini mpo busy kuhangaika mkijilinganisha na nchi ndogo ndogo kama Kenya.

Haya msubiri tukamilishe hii reli itakayomkabidhi Mnyarwanda mabehewa mengi sana ndani ya masaa 24 na hapo ndio tuongee. Halafu inaenda hadi Bujumbura.

SGR ikiisha KE haya yatakuwa ni mandoto kwa TZ...

MK254,

..ninavyoelewa mimi Kenya haijawahi kuizidi Tz ktk kupokea mizigo inayokwenda Rwanda na Burundi. nadhani kilichotokea hapo ni makosa ya kiuandishi.

Wakenya kwa mambwembwe huwezi shindana nao. Hata kama hana kitu mfukoni yeye atakomaa na tai shingoni na kingereza mdomoni ili mradi aonekane ana pesa kumbe masikini wa kutupa. Haya majamaa nyambafu sana.

JokaKuu Sasa mbona huwa mnaishi maisha ya kubabaika babaika hivi, takwimu hata za nchi ambazi zipo huko kwenu lazima muongelee Kenya.

 

[flyingcrane]

Yani ruwaza ya Tanzania,malengo,mipango na nguvu kazi yote ya nchi imeelekezwa kuishinda Kenya..nashangaa mno sababu huku Kenya wapo watu wengi hata wasiojuwa rais wa Tz nani ama kujihusisha na mambo ya Tz..i pitty you very. much and you generations to come

 

[Bukyanagandi]

Tuwe wakweli hapa, binafsi sioni kama tuna nia thabiti ya kutandaza reli ya kati 2 standard gauge!!

 

[Wacha1]

Mimi sioni sababu yoyote ya kushabikia huu upuuzi ambao watu wanalishwa. Tanzania as a nation hatujaweza kuwa na usafiri wa uhakika wa muda mfupi ndani ya nchi yetu, hatuna sababu ya kusafiri kwa treni kutoka Mwanza hadi Dar Es Salaam kwa zaidi ya masaa 5. Tunahitaji mapinduzi ya kuwa na usafiri wa haraka kokote unakotaka kwenda kwa muda mfupi na nafuu. Pia usafiri wa uhakika, miaka 50 na ushee tangu uhuru ni aibu kushindwa kwenda Dodoma kutoka Dar kwa treni kwa chini ya saa moja.

 

[JokaKuu]

JokaKuu Sasa mbona huwa mnaishi maisha ya kubabaika babaika hivi, takwimu hata za nchi ambazi zipo huko kwenu lazima muongelee Kenya.

..hata nyinyi mnababaika kuhusu Tz.

..ndiyo maana kila wakati media yenu inajaribu kuandika taarifa mbaya kuhusu Tz.

..pia serikali yenu inafanya hujuma za waziwazi dhidi yetu ktk biashara ya utalii, na usafirishaji maua.

..kuhusu bandari, Dsm port ina share kubwa ya mizigo ya Rw,Br,na Eastern DRC kuliko Mombasa Port.

..we made a big mistake ktk privatization ya Tz Railways Corp, na hiyo ikasababisha reli kuathirika na tukakosa biashara ya Uganda.

 

[Umsolopa ganz]

upuuzi mwingine huu
kwahiyo ni ktk Rwanda cargo only!

mkuu bandari ya mombasa ni ndogo,ila inapewa sana promo sababu serikali ya kenya wameipa mombasa jina la mombasa mlango wa kenya

" It is also feared that the Port of Mombasa could grind to a halt should Tanzania complete the $330 million harmonisation of its railroad network with those across Central and Southern Africa ahead of the East African standard gauge railway.

"This is Kenya's chance to prove that it is an economic powerhouse by linking East and West Africa. If this fails, the economic loss may be huge," said Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet secretary Michael Kamau. "

..ndani ya serikali yao wanakiri na kupanga "ligi" dhidi ya Tz.
