#Humpspotter Alert: Air Tanzania A220 and Norwegian Air Argentina

On Thanksgiving morning, Airbus revealed the full livery of Air Tanzania’s first A220-300 twinjet. Air Tanzania will be the type’s first operator in Africa, but another first is also in the books.
The image released by Airbus shows this to be the first A220 aircraft to sport a traditional satellite antenna radome, presumably carrying Panasonic Avionics’ hardware inside.



The first A220 to be delivered with any sort of satellite hardware recently went to Delta Air Lines, with the unique, low-profile Gogo 2Ku system installed at the factory.
Bombardier (prior to Airbus taking control of the C Series program)disclosed to RGN that it was working closely with Panasonic to offer the firm’s eXConnect Ku-band system as a linefit option, and now that program appears to have produced its first production aircraft.
Air Tanzania has embarked on a fleet renewal program, recently taking delivery of the first of a pair of Boeing 787s, which also include the tell-tale wifi system hump on the fuselage. While no official announcement has been made about choice of inflight connectivity vendor, the 787s are confirmed to have Panasonic’s eX3 inflight entertainment system installed.


Meanwhile, in South America, Norwegian’s new Argentinian unit has become the first airline in the country to offer inflight Internet, as first reportedby Argentinian newspaper Clarín.

The two Boeing 737-800s currently in service are not new deliveries, but rather were transferred from Norwegian Air International, the Irish division of the Norwegian group, to Norwegian Air Argentina.
Both aircraft were previously fitted with Global Eagle’s Airconnect-branded Ku-band satellite connectivity system, but airline operations began before the necessary regulatory hurdles were cleared to activate the satellite system.
A Global Eagle spokesman confirms to Runway Girl Network that Ku-band capacity is being provided by the SES-4 satellite. Norwegian remains one of the few airlines globally offering free wifi to all passengers on equipped aircraft; its service on Norwegian Air Argentina is certainly a far cry from Aerolineas Argentinas’ famous onboard fax service.
Ole Christian Melhus , CEO of Norwegian Air Argentina, is quoted by Clarín as stating: “It is very important and satisfying to offer our passengers the opportunity to work, read news, send emails or watch a series while they are in flight. It is a product that no other airline offers in the country, which gives us a very relevant competitive advantage. ”

Itabidi majirani waangalie uwezekano wa kuweka scanner kama hizi!

He, si tumefanya dili na major ports of origins tunatuma permanent representative huko mizigo tunascan na kukagua pamoja huko itokako alafu unafungwa na tamper proof seal , hata kabla ifike huku tunajua ni ni kiko ndani ya kontena, mzigo ukiwa unashukishwa kazi iliobaki ni Ku confirm kama seal bado iko na kama weight ya mzigo ni Sawa na kilichopimwa Kwa port of origin .... 100% efficiency! Tena isitoshe, KPA does have movable scanners !

Nyi mtakua mnalazimika kusmamisha treni nzima kwasababu mzigo mmoja Una kasoro.

The scanning that happens at the port when cargo is leaving is usually for counter checking purpose..


Anyway, ile scan mli launch si Rail scanner! its just a cargo scanner period! Kenya too has cargo scanners. Tofauti tu ni kwamba hio ya Tanzania inatumia power nyingi kwasababu scanners zimewekwa mbali mbali, it also means bigger radiation exposure. nothing new to see, Infact, at the Busia malaba border point, there is a scanner exactly like the one you are setting up in Tz!!!!!

But first, you need to watch and listen to this video carefully, to understand just how intergrated the scanning process is in all the major points of entry in Kenya is.



Malaba one stop border point

Just in-case you were having difficultly seeing the non-intrusive scanners, i've put a big red arrow pointing right at the scanners

Pale mombasa port na Nairobi ICD pia ziko kibao fixed scanners

In addition, KRA also haas 3 movable scanners so hamna lolote jipya mnaweza kutuambia, we have everything you have and our port is twice as big as yours!!!

Kenya Revenue Authority to install cargo scanners at SGR stations


Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is set to install cargo scanners at some stations along the Standard Gauge Railway line to monitor consignment. According to KRA regional chief manager for customs and border control John Bisonga, the scanners would be used to monitor cargo ferried by SGR trains.

“The number of containers that will be transported using the trains is huge and we will need to ensure there is proper surveillance. Drive-through scanners will also be installed along the SGR route,” said Bisonga. There are seven stations between Mombasa and Nairobi; at Mariakani, Miasenyi, Voi, Mtito Andei, Kibwezi, Emali and Athi River. The SGR cargo trains are set to begin operating between Mombasa and Nairobi on June 1.

We have those mind u Tanzania is bordering 8 countries in total! Aside 4 operating ports! The thing is u dont have scanners that can operate with moving train wagons! Imagine containers packedodirectly into a train then scanned before cruising at over 120km/h! Northern corridor at 70 km/h will be always inferior to central corridor!

We have those mind u Tanzania is bordering 8 countries in total! Aside 4 operating ports!

And yet your combined transhipmet cargo to those countries can't beat Kenya's

Talk of that when expansion at Dar port is ready! Forgot to tell u we also have one stop port in addition!

JPM is a nightmare to u guys as whatever u do he goes a step ahead n do better! U came up with ur diesel SGR moving at 70 km/h cargo while at 120 km/h for passengers, he came up with electrical SGR cruising at 120 km/h cargo 160 km/h passengers n an option for a modification to over 200km/h with slight improvement.

While this happens on ur SGR as a result of no signal system in place



listen here, European signaling level II is being procured for our SGR


U expanded ur port with Japanese he brought in Chinese that r already over 60% n putting up state of the art facilities with one stop port! Talk of Uganda pipeline, u know what happened aside a plan for a parallel gas pipeline to Uganda, talk of airline u know the progressing at ATCL. Marine vessels he is there. All that in 3 years!



TPA moves to install a cargo scanner at Mtwara port

Your expansion of Dar port aims to increase the capacity of the port to 28 million tonnes by between 2021-2025, while Mombasa port handled 30.02 Million tonnes last year 2017 and our expansion plans recently concluded phase 1 of 3 .... This is not a competition!

Clearance of cargo to be slashed to 48 hours by June


FRIDAY JANUARY 19 2018

In Summary
Goods should be cleared within 48 hours from the current average of 72 hours after the ultra-modern Sh149.5 billion building becomes operational.


By Rosemary Mirondo @mwaikama rmirondo@tz.nationmedia.com
Dar es Salaam. The time it takes to clear goods at Dar es Salaam Port will be slashed when Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) opens its one-stop centre in the city in June.

Goods should be cleared within 48 hours from the current average of 72 hours after the ultra-modern Sh149.5 billion building becomes operational.

TPA acting deputy director general (infrastructure development) Karim Mattaka said the centre would bring under one roof the various entities involved in the cargo clearance process and save customers the inconvenience of moving from one place to another.

The scattered nature of port stakeholders, including TPA, Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TFDA) and clearing and forwarding agents, creates room for unscrupulous people to swindle unsuspecting customers.

“With the one-stop centre, there will be more transparency and significant speed in handling goods, which should see cargo being cleared within 48 hours,” Mr Mattaka told The Citizen yesterday.

The one-stop centre is housed in a sleek 35-storey building, whose construction is currently in its final stages. It will also host all TPA headquarters staff and is also expected to maximise efficiency at the port where customers would be served at one place. Congestion will also be reduced significantly, as all the necessary paperwork will be handled at the one-stop centre.

The Minister for Works, Transport and Communication, Prof Makame Mbarawa, visited TPA yesterday where he was briefed on the progress of the building’s construction.

Briefing Prof Mbarawa, Mr Mattaka said construction of the building, which commenced in 2013, was initially expected to have been completed by May, last year, but was delayed as TPA sought to ensure that the work was within the budget.

Prof Mbarawa directed TPA to ensure that the building was completed by the end of June, this year.

He stressed that it was imperative to make quick decisions for major projects to be accomplished on time for economic growth.

According to Mr Mattaka, TPA decided to suspend construction at some point to put things in order, including seeking the Attorney General’s go-ahead when the cost of fitting tiles alone increased by Sh1 billion.

“Our earlier plan was that each company that would rent space from us would fit tiles of their choice to minimise costs, but central air-conditioning fitted in the building rendered this plan impractical,” he said.

He noted that the contract costs had also been fluctuating from time to time, and revisions had to be made, resulting in costs to be cut by about $1 million.

Good news for Dar port users

A detailed look at the port of Dar es Salaam’s big overhaul
ippmedia.com/en/business/detailed-look-port-dar-es-salaam’s-big-overhaul
October 31, 2018

Implementation of phase one of the project will cost about $150 million and involves the deepening and strengthening of existing berths 1 to 7 to 14.5 metres below CD, plus the construction of a new, multipurpose berth at the Gerezani Creek.

The project will also see deepening and widening of the port entrance channel and turning circle to 15.5 metres, and of the harbour basin in the port to the end of berth 11 to 14.5 metres, plus improving the rail linkages and platform in the port with deepening and strengthening of existing berths eight to 11 to 14.5 metres.

Given the traffic forecast, the TPA-DMGP project is set to cope with the fast-growing trend of creating capacity ahead of demand. Other port projects designed to cope with expected traffic growth are being implemented and identified under TPA’s Port Master Plan of 2008-2028.

So far the authority has managed to complete several projects like modernisation of the Single Point Mooring (SPM), demolition of sheds to create more stacking yards, installation of an integrated security system, acquisition of additional equipment, and construction of a 35-floor One Stop Customer Service Tower along Sokoine Road in Dar es Salaam.

The on-going projects are upgrading of dry bulk handling facilities, a new container terminal, the multi-billion shilling Dar es Salaam Maritime Gateway Project (DGMP), and other investments in other TPA-run sea and lake ports in the country.

Currently all stakeholders - including clearing agents, shipping lines, banks and key government institutions in the port area - are working around the clock. Reduction of dwell time through direct delivery for imports is another initiative, without forgetting reduction of ship turnaround time and educational campaigns against utilization of the port’s space for storage of cargo.

TPA says it is aiming to introduce faster truck and wagons turnaround times from the port, and to auction overstayed cargo abandoned at the port, so as to get more space to serve customers and stakeholders in a more efficient manner.

Other initiatives to improve performance at the port of Dar es Salaam cover acquisition of new equipment, introduction of new port access roads, parking areas and gates, and working towards implementation of an E-Port.

IT infrastructures under port operations system (POS), traffic management in the port, billing and gate operations and their integration is enhanced for utilisation of ICT in cargo operations and clearance.

A new port to be built at Chongoleani in Tanga Region will be dedicated to handling crude oil shipments through the upcoming Uganda-Tanzania pipeline. New ports at Bagamoyo and Mwambani Bay will also be constructed under public private partnership (PPP) deals. In the meantime, construction of the KwalaRuvu Dry Port, some 47 miles west of Dar es Salaam, is on track.

Other initiatives are enhancement of customer care, assured safety and security, trained and motivated workforce, and elimination of non-tariff barriers (NTBs). Since the ports depend so much on railways, Tanzania’s rail corridors under TRC and TAZARA are both undergoing overhauls through various projects like the standard gauge railway (SGR).

This 2,561-kilometre SGR line, which has a completion deadline of 2021, will link the port of Dar es Salaam with its expansive hinterland of the Great Lakes region. Freight trains will be running at 160km per hour, carrying 100 wagons, each with a capacity of 120 tonnes.

The fact is expansion of port capacities must be in tandem with the development of other inland transport networks like railway and roads. The completion of the DMGP project and implementation of other projects at various other ports will fast-track Tanzania’s quest for industrialisation and support the regional quest to attain fast social-economic development.

Airbus At Work in Mirabel
Before the end of 2018 you will see new structures to be erected on the land around the current hangars making possible "concurrent" delivery.

But first, within the next few days you will see new structures being erected near the current hangars to help accommodate with the pre-flight process. Space for allowing the test pilots to prepare/certify new aircraft toward their first flight (first pre-delivery test flight) will be increasing. Currently it is two (2).

In part 2, coming shortly, I will address the changes Airbus is about to make "inside" the A220 assembly process and also interesting information about parts that will be "Made In Mirabel" and shipped to Mobile, Alabama to be used at the coming A220 assembly facility. This new Mobile, Alabama A220 facility will be starting production in 2019, more on this soon.

A220 Production Update
Since my last production update last week I can see the delivery schedule shifting forward by about a week, confirming my mentioned expectations (been there done that). Read about my A220 production schedule here

On the positive side, check the new animal I found at the Mirabel factory. This is the first A220 aircraft to be delivered to Air Tanzania MSN 55047, all painted featuring its famous "Giraffe" on its vertical stabilizer/tail. Don't let that one outdoor too long, it is freezing,-8 C (18F) at the time I'm writing you this. Air Tanzania ordered two (2) A220-300 and both are progressing well with the first one scheduled for delivery in December. I'm expecting the 2nd one to be delivered toward the beginning of the new year 2019.

First Airbus A220-300 for Air Tanzania - See Panasonic satellite communication dome? A first for the A220.


The two (2) Air Tanzania A220-300 are MSN 55047 and 55048.

A first for these two A220 is the installation of the Panasonic KU band Internet communication system. The dome protecting the antenna on the top of the aircraft fuselage is different from the one on the Delta A220, as you see on the above picture. As you now know, if you read my article "Things You Don't Know About The First Delta A220 / CSeries", Delta selected Gogo for its Internet and its "in flight" entertainment system for their A220.

That's all for today, stay tuned for part 2 coming out soon.
