Cost comparison SGR Kenya vs SGR Tanzania

Unanirahisishia mimi ambae nilikuambia axle load capacity yetu ipo juu yenyu na kwahiyo hamuwezi kujitamba ati SGR yenyu inayoenda polepole itabeba mizigo mingi! wagons zina 4 axles therefore capacity for SGR Tanzania will be 4*35 = 140 tons whereas SGR Kenya will be 100 tons! Doublestack does not give Kunyaland an upperhand as axle load remains the same! That's basic Physics! Mind u our electrical SGR design will allow cargo trains to pull up to 100 wagons!

Hivi Geza Mwanza Isaka itakuwa na stations ngapi kubwa? Na je station ya Fela ndio itakuwa Main station ya Mwanza au wataenda hadi town? Naona hiyo clip ya Kagodosa imeanzia mbele kidogo. Thanks.
 
Ha! You still don't get it do you? Let me make it even more simple for you.... Nipatie mifano ya mizigo ambayo ni more than 100 tonnes in one wagon.

Si tunaongelea ya Tz we unanionyesha link za China...
Huu ndo mfano wenu hapa Chini, meli zinalazimika kungoja kwa mda mrefu ili mizigo ya export iwe mingi ya kutosha kubebwa kwa meli....
SGR yenu itakua na shida hio hio, italazimika kukaa bandarini kwa mda mrefu ikingojea kujaa manake mizigo michache kulingana na uwezo wa treni moja...

Tanzania: Why Horticultural Dealers Opt for the Mombasa Port​

The Citizen (Dar es Salaam)
By Zephania Ubwani
Arusha — Low volumes have forced horticultural exporters to opt for Mombasa instead of the local ports.
Ships anchored in Dar es Salaam, in particular, had to wait for days before the volumes were large enough for shipment.
"The challenge is the critical mass of volumes," said Ms Jacquiline Mkindi, the chief executive officer of Taha Group.
She told Agriculture minister Adolf Mkenda that production had to increase many folds to fill the ships without waiting for days.
She said air freighting of the fresh produce to the markets abroad was pacing on using the global carriers reaching Tanzania. These include Royal Dutch Airline, KLM, Ethiopian Airlines and the Gulf-based Emirates and Qatar Airways.


After the outbreak of Covid-19, Taha Group negotiated with Ethiopian Airlines to use the latter's dedicated cargo planes to ferry horticulture produce from Tanzania to the markets abroad.
"Air freighting of exports from Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam is pacing on well. We are also exploring ways to introduce the service in Songwe," she said.
She was briefing the minister on the horticulture industry activities during the latter's maiden visit to the Taha Group headquarters here.


However, Ms Mkindi said the challenge has been low volumes that would enable the loaded ships to sail directly to the designated markets. Horticultural crops grown in Tanzania are flowers, vegetables, fruits, spices and herbs and roots and tubers.
Avocados, whose demand in China and other countries has shot up steeply, are among products ferried abroad by ships.
The sector has been growing at the rate of 11 percent annually. Exports rose from $64 million in 2006 to $779 million in 2019, a 800 percent increase.
Projections are that horticulture will generate $3 billion to the economy by 2025/2026, with avocado alone contributing $600 million.
Prof Mkenda said while he had no objection for passing of the cargo through Mombasa, he would look into challenges at the Dar port. It emerged during discussions that exporters using the country's largest port had to deal with 36 institutions when processing the shipment documents.
However, the minister stressed that raising productivity and production was the best solution to meet the volumes demanded.
"Tanzania has to increase volumes to ensure there is enough cargo. Producers are using Mombasa because they need money for their produce," he said.

MY TAKE
With easy the design of SGR Tanzania can accomodate electrical trains going at a speed of over 250 km/h (min. 16:30)!

Naona madaraja kama Yale ya Kenya hapo! I thought you swore that they would never dare build such structure in Tz!? Haha.
Alafu washageuza map imeandikwa kichina, unakumbuka ukitucheka kwa mambo kama haya ukisisitiza wachina wanafaa waandike Kiswahili.
 
Sioni steel structure ikining'ia!
