TPA moves to install a cargo scanner at Mtwara port

TPA moves to install a cargo scanner at Mtwara port
TANZANIA Ports Authority (TPA) has installed a cargo scanner at Mtwara port to control, among other things, exporting of raw cashew nuts mixed with stones, a malpractice which might kill the crop’s market.
According to the last cashew nut season 2017/18, some cashew bags exported to Vietnam were found to have been mixed with stones, which threatened the crop’s market in the country.
Speaking at a Mtwara port stakeholders’ meeting recently, Mtwara Regional Commissioner Gellasius Byakanwa said buyers should no longer be worried about the cashew’s safety as the government had already addressed last season’s problem of stones in cashew bags.
He said a scanner will ensure cashew nuts are exported without stones, adding that the government would ensure that it prohibits people who are bent on sabotaging the crop’s market.
“We want to remain at the peak. With high quality cashew nuts, we will preserve our brand at all costs,” he said.
He said the region had already reached an agreement that all cashew nut bags from the region have to be exported through Mtwara port.
According to him, the move will do away with sabotaging the crop while at the same time ensuring that traders deal with the right people.
“The government noticed some elements of sabotage in the business, which disturbed the price and a reliable market for the crop,” he said.
Tanzania’s cashew nut produce is said to be of the highest quality in the world, calling upon farmers to remain patient and ignore rumours that the price would collapse this season.
According to Cashewnuts Board of Tanzania (CBT), the indicative price of raw cashew nuts in the 2018/19 season is Sh1,550 for standard grade and Sh1,240 for lower grade.
Mtwara port Master Nelson Mlali said they learnt a lesson from last season and now they were active to solve all challenges exporters face, including shortage of equipment.
“We have installed a cargo scanner. No cargo will be allowed to taken on board ship without scanning results…we again have improved other facilities to smoothen the shipping process.
“We had lack of equipment such as richstakers, forklifts and a scanner. We are happy to say that we now have the equipment,” Mlali said.
“The scanner will improve security within the port as the process of importing and exporting goods will be fully secured …we shall be sure about what is getting in and out,” he added.

Why Rwandan traders have dumped Kenya for Tanzanian port

The port of Mombasa is losing business from Rwanda as more traders opt for the to Dar es Salaam.
Figures from the Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) show that 70 per cent of Rwandan imports passed through Tanzania via the Central Corridor.
Only 30 per cent of the country's imports passed through Mombasa port before finding their way into Rwanda through the Northern Corridor.

According to the RRA Deputy Customs Commissioner Alex Mujeru, recent improvements at the Dar es Salaam port had spurred efficiency, coupled with a relatively shorter distance from the Tanzanian port to Kigali.
This has encouraged Rwandan traders to use Dar for their imports.
“So many changes have taken place along the Central Corridor since the East African Community (EAC) initiated the Single Customs Territory (SCT) which have led our traders to favour the Dar port,” said Mr Mujeru in an interview with The Standard in Kigali last week.
“For example, the non-tariff barriers (NTBs) that hindered transport of cargo in the Central Corridor, and which led our importers to take the business to the longer Northern Corridor beginning from Mombasa port, have been eliminated. The Dar port is more favourable now,” he added.
Some of the NTBs include roadblocks.
From Dar to Kigali, there were 28 roadblocks, which could slow down transportation of cargo by up to 16 days.

The roadblocks have since been reduced to four, cutting cargo transport to Kigali by up to seven days.
Again, as a result of the enactment of SCT along the Central Corridor, Rwanda as well as other EAC importers can make a single declaration of their cargo at the Dar port, instead of the four declarations they were expected to make before the cargo entered Kigali, thus cutting the time wasted in making the declarations.
"All these changes have encouraged Rwandan traders to go to Dar es Salaam instead of Mombasa. The distance to Kigali from Mombasa is 2,000km while that between Kigali and Dar is 1,600km," noted Mujeru.
He said in the past Rwanda had opted for the Mombasa route because of lack of reforms along the Central Corridor.
"Reforms have seen improved efficiency on that route. But now with the changes brought by the SCT, Rwanda will keep taking business to Dar instead of Mombasa.”

Port Watch: Mombasa port expects 22 cargo ships in next two weeks
A weekly dispatch from the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) states that the vessels will dock at the conventional cargo terminal to discharge 402, 533 metric tonnes and load 10,400 metric tonnes.
The container terminals are expected to dock 17 vessels that will be discharging 13,045 Twenty Foot Equivalent (Teus) and load 14,179 Teus. In the meantime, container off-take from the Port of Mombasa to the Inland Container Depot, Nairobi by the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) has registered tremendous growth recording 5,121 Twenty Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in the week ended September 19th 2018. ''The SGR freight service currently doing an average of eight trains per day accounted for 44.67 percent of the total 11,462 TEUs lifted by both rail and road transport,'' KPA said in the dispatch. A total of 6,341 TEUs were evacuated by the road transport which registered a decline of 3,281 TEUs compared to the previous week.
''Empty containers received by road registered 12,586 TEUs up from 10,366 TEUs recorded in the previous week while only 511 TEUs (empty) were delivered out of the Port by the same mode of transport,'' KPA said. During the week under review 10 container vessels docked at the Container Terminals registering a ship average working time of 1.77 days as the import container Dwell time recorded 4.11 days. The ships discharged 15,487 TEUs (full and empty) and loaded another 15,008 TEUs. KPA stated further that an on the spot check for the Imports population breakdown at the Terminals revealed that 4,723 TEUs were destined to the local market while another 4,373 were transit bound. Uganda maintained her leading position in the transit market accounting for 3510 TEUs an equivalent of 38.58 percent followed by Tanzania which accounted for 338 TEUs.
