Kiufupi Kwala dry port itapokea mizigo kutoka bandari ya Dar es Salaam yaani ile inayoenda nje ya Dar kwa kutumia MGR na pia SGR (baada ya port link kukamilika) na baada ya kufika Kwala dry port mizigo itakuwa sorted na ile ya mikoa ya Morogoro, Dodoma, Singida na mikoa ya Magharibi yaani Geita, Shinyanga, Kigoma, Mwanza, Kagera na nchi za Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda (to an extension South Sudan and central African Republic) na DRC itakuwa shunted at Kwala marshalling yard ready to be transported by electrical SGR or MGR while also trucks (local and international) will pick up their cargos at Kwala dry port! Pia mizigo ya mikoa ya Mara, Arusha, Kilimanjaro via MGR ukiacha Tanga port MGR link option. Another dry port in Arusha is U/C!
Then a 2 km long electrical SGR cargo train will be locomoted and dropping and picking up containers along the way depending on the orders (there will also be direct trains too say it a 2 km long train for WFP consignment for Uganda)! At Dodoma there is another major marshalling yard U/C while dry ports at Isaka (Shinyanga) to be rehabilitated to incorporate SGR, Katosho (Kigoma) U/C and Fella (Mwanza) U/C. A major Marshalling yard will also be built in Mwanza city! Mind u remote dry port at kalema(in Bukoba) on shores Lake Victoria will be linked via wagon ferry to serve Bukoba and western Uganda too and a new Karema port on Lake Tanganyika and revamped Kigoma port will be all connected with SGR line aside the existing MGR! Ther vice versa is also true cargo from hinterlands to Dar port destination overseas!
MY TAKE
Mnapiga kelele kuhusu Mwanza kuinyang'anya Kisumu biashara ya mafuta kwenda Uganda, believe me the superior, fast and cheaper electrical SGR Tanzania ikikamilika mtapiga njuru mara kumi as it is way better planned! Pita hapa ! Sioni poor SGR Kunyaland iki-survive competition!

Electric sgr from port to Ruvu rates are cheaper than lorries from port to Rubi we pay rates per km. Diesel locomotives ingetumika ndio ingekuwa unyanyasaji like Kenya

TPA elevates KIA with inland port facility

TPA elevates KIA with inland port facility
THE Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) intends to construct the proposed northern zone’s inland dry port within the Malula section of Nduruma Ward in Meru District, not far from the Kilimanjaro International Airport.
TPA Director General, Eng. Deusdedit Kakoko stated here late last week that the strategic location targets to make the inland intermodal sea terminal more competitive against similar facilities in Taveta, on the other side of the border, while also serving residents of Arusha, Manyara and Kilimanjaro regions close to their doorsteps.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting hosted by the Arusha Regional Commissioner’s office, Engineer Kakoko revealed that the northern dry port is among projects listed in the TPA’s Master Plan for the establishment of dry ports in strategic regions of the country, to ease clearance and shipment of transit cargo to neighbouring countries.
In the Master Plan, TPA will soon start the construction of the dry port, also an Inland Container freight Depot (ICfD) in King’ori area, a center point between Kilimanjaro and Arusha Regions, with a link to Mirerani Mining Hills via direct road.
Kakoko said the facility will speed up the clearance and shipment of cargo entering the country through Tanga Port mostly, though also handling goods from the main Dar es Salaam harbour.
He said the northern dry port will also play an East African role of serving customers from the land-locked neighbouring countries of Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda.
“Our competitors have built a dry port at Taveta. This means that containerised cargo entering through Mombasa Port with destinations in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi is now transported up to Taveta as a strategy to attract customers from those countries,” he said.
Tanzania Railways Limited (TRL) is in the process of maintaining railway lines linking Arusha, Moshi and Tanga via Kilimanjaro Airport, which will play a major role to facilitate shipment of containerised cargo from Tanga Port to the northern inland port.
Arusha Regional Commissioner, Mrisho Gambo said his office is facilitating the process to grant TPA a plot of land measuring 500 acres for the proposed dry port in Meru District.
“In the past, the process to clear goods from Dar es Salaam has been long and cumbersome, to the extent of discouraging importers and exporters. However of late things have been improving and with the proposed dry-port, services are going to be even better,” said Gambo.
In addition to the 500 acres set aside for the dry port, Arusha has also cleared 3500 additional acres to supplement activities surrounding the inland dock, and this zone will house a railway station and shopping mall.
The chairman of the Tanganyika Farmers Association (TFA), Peter Sirikwa, said there have been delays in clearing agricultural equipment and other farm inputs from local ports, causing traders to use the port of Mombasa, but with the new development, he was hopeful that things will now improve.

LOGISTICS
SGR freight services steady despite low vessel numbers
There has been a drop on the number of vessels calling at the Port of Mombasa.
In Summary
•A report by Kenya Railways indicates that daily wagon supply fluctuated between 400 to 500 in the three months to June.
•The months of May and June saw depressed volumes due to lower vessel numbers.
The SGR Cargo train at the Port of Mombasa/FILE
Cargo haulage on the Standard Gauge Railway has remained steady despite a decrease in the number of vessels calling at the Port of Mombasa.
Total cargo tonnage was at 378,977 tonnes in the month of June, a slight drop from 383,109 tonnes that had been recorded in May and 451,208 tonnes in April, with Kenya Railways Corporation affirming stable operations in the three months.
A report by the corporation indicates that daily wagon supply fluctuated between 400 to 500 in the period under review, with the May and June period seeing depressed volumes due to lower vessel numbers.
"To enhance cargo evacuations, Kenya Railways and the SGR operator, Afristar have ensured that the double-decker stacking of 80 wagons are utilised to full carriage capacity, with each of the two trains conveying 152 TEUs per trip to the Inland Container Deport in Nairobi," Kenya Railways said in a statement.
Meanwhile, a special tandem double Engines train hauling 70 wagons of 140 TEUs per haulage has been added to reduce any possible cargo pile up at the Port of Mombasa.
Out of the total freight carried by the SGR operator Afristar in June, bulk cargo accounted for 115,920 tonnes, with containerised cargo registering a tonnage of 263,057.
The SGR performance between June 2020 and June 2021 had a total TEUs of 284,815,bulk cargo tonnage at 366,008 while the total tonnage for the fiscal year was 4,584,173 tonnes.
The performance has been pegged on among others, close cooperation between Kenya Railways and other partner cargo logistics agencies among them Kenya Ports Authority and Kenya Revenue Authority.
This has enabled direct, ex-hooks loading of cargo onto wagons (from the ship) and off-take of the same to the Inland Container Depots (ICDs) of Nairobi and Naivasha, without delays.
“We are impressed by our performance and the level of cooperation we continue to receive from our partner agencies within the transport corridor. We expect significant improvements once ongoing infrastructure improvement and expansion projects are commissioned,"Kenya Railways managing director Philip Mainga said.
Some of the ongoing projects is the almost complete SGR– Meter Gauge Railway(MGR) link between the Longonot Station and the Naivasha ICD, which will allow for seamless integration of services between the two networks to facilitate last mile delivery, especially of transit cargo destined for Uganda.
Rehabilitation of the Naivasha-Nakuru-Kisumu line is progressing well and on course to meet its target of full commissioning by August, Mainga said, while similar works on the Naivasha-Malaba line are on course to deliver sustainable evacuation of cargo from the Naivasha ICD for trans-shipment to the MGR.
Mainga noted that operations on the recently rehabilitated Nairobi-Thika-Nanyuki line were proceeding well for both passenger and freight cargo.
The Port of Kisumu also continues to provide a vital link, through MV Uhuru, for the conveyance of petroleum products to Uganda via Lake Victoria ports of Jinja and Port Bell.
SGR cargo services played a critical role in the transporting of equipment and furniture shipped into the country for the just concluded World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally.
Kenya Railways, through the SGR operator, conveyed the special cargo from the Port of Mombasa to the Naivasha ICD, and is the main transport for the return trip.
“We were proud and honored to be part of the WRC global series as a partner and freight logistics provider of choice. We salute both the Kenyan and FIA organizers for a splendid job,” said Mainga, at the sidelines of the flagging off of the rally by President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Kenyatta International Convention (KICC) Centre.

MY TAKE
Mind u SGR Kunyaland has the capacity to haul 22 mln tonnes of cargo!
Mind you 22M tones is the projection of 2035-2040, the ESIA (which was released in 2012 b4 construction started) projected that we will be doing 10m tonne by 2023/24 financial year so at 4.5m tonnes in 2020/21 FY and with about 1m tonnes being added to the SGR each year since it started operation, we are well on course to reaching our targets which had been projected in the feasibility study that justified the SGR project.
