LAPSSET: Lamu Port and South Sudan Ethiopia Transport: News & Photos

The funny thing is that geza started this thread thinking that the port won't get built. It got built and he went quiet. You guys goaded him to coming back. Now he's out here bathing in his own shit desperately trying to change the topic.

This pig fart of the CCM type is saltier than soy sauce.
 
built without roads to link the port with hinterland! hiyo si akili ya kimavi!
 
Bagamoyo port is no more JPM cancelled but Tanga port is way bigger than Lamu port!

Ile Konyagi enye unatumia haikupikwa vizuri…...Lamu is larger than all your Danganyikan fishing villagers combined

and no ship has ever docked at Lamu port punguza chang'aa!
 
Dar port is also eyeing the same stuff! That's where u missed the boat a reason u r pushing hard the custom union act to be changed! I fail to understand most of u Kenyans in here can't see facts n argue reasonable! U can argue as much as u can but that tembo mweupe at Lamu will never serve Dar if Dar does the same at twice the cost of ur port at Lamu!

The reason why tunataka Custom management laws za EAC zigeuzwe ni kwasababu a project of this magnitude inahitaji sheria zigeuzwe kidogo... Hata ile bagamoyo project pia ingehitaji sheria zake, na usifikiri ile project ya Tanga pipeline haitahitaji input kutoka kwa EAC parliarment...

Tuko na sheria za cross border za barabara (Axle load limit, weighbridge), tuko na sheria za EAC za usambazaji wa umeme, the moment pipeline ya oil itavuka mpaka tutahitaji sheria za bomba ya mafuta kuhusu umiliki, compensation in case of a leak, insurance cover, arbitration incase of disagreements...

Sheria ya Transhipment business ndani ya EAC kwasasa inasema mzigo ukishuka Mombasa na unafaa kupelekwa Tanga, basi utahesabiwa kama ulishuka Mombasa, na Bandari ya Mombasa inafaa kukagua huo mzigo kabla upelekwe Tanga, tena mwenye mzigo anafaa kutangaza na kutoa ushahidi kwamba mzigo ni wake... Hii inapoteza mda na inaongeza garama... Ambacho Kenya inataka ni mizigo ya Transhipment iwekwe mahali maalum ambapo sheria za Kenya hazita apply, hio mizigo itahesabiwa kana kwamba bado iko kwa international waters... Haitakaguliwa na Kenya,itapakiwa kwa meli na kupelekwa nchi husika ambako huko ndo itafanyiwa ukaguzi na mengineyo..... Hizi ndo sheria zinazotumika kwa bandari zengine zinazofanya transhipment on a large scale..... Kwa mfano Oman port au port of singapore hua haikagui mizigo ya Kenya... Inapakuliwa na kupakiwa kwa meli nyengine bila kufanywa ukaguzi wowote, tunataka EAC customs ikubali kwamba hio ni legal na hatutakua tumevunja sheria za customs kwa kutofanya ukaguzi huo.

The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) had proposed that Section 34(i) of the East African Community Customs Management Act be amended to remove the requirement for transshipment entry, to make it easier to transact and handle cargo.

----
Although transshipment cargo is not supposed to face tedious clearing procedures, Kenya requires shippers to lodge several documents.
The practice in other transshipment ports globally is that since the cargo does not leave the port but is loaded from one ship to the other, it is exempted from stringent regulatory approvals.
---------

--------
The move to transform the facility into a transshipment port of entry started in 2015 when a joint team of KPA and the Kenya Revenue Authority visited Tangier in Morroco, Colombo in Sri Lanka and Malta port, which are close in size to Mombasa.
Although the initial plan was for the second berth to handle transshipment cargo, it will also be used as a commercial port.

Lamu port has officially been declared a customs area, allowing the facility to hold goods as they wait for clearance. A Gazette notice from the customs and border control Commissioner declared the new status, which will facilitate the transhipment of goods.

Goods in a customs area are not within the custom jurisdiction of the host country. This will allow easy movement of the goods to a third country without involving custom authorities.

Additionally, the status enhances simplicity in movement of goods since goods will not be subject to local custom procedures,

While goods in the custom area are technically in the international domain, the cargo is still subject to local laws. For instance, drugs legal in source and destination ports may not go through the port, in as much as the cargo is in international domain.

Earlier, KPA had announced that the port will feature an extended 30-day free storage for cargo transshipment.

Na mbona mlikataa ku-join UG pipeline after Tanga port was chosen as a route? U believe Tanzania will let Lamu port serve her cargo?







A $420 mln expansion

Hakujawahi kua na requirement for Kenya to join Tanga pipeline, Ni sisi ndo tulipanga kujenga pipeline, tuka propose Uganda iunganishe na yetu, not the other way around. And BTW, It was cheaper for Uganda to go through Tanga, its not cheaper for Kenya to redirect her oil through Uganda then to Tanga. And if you count the fact that we would have had to pay commission everytime the oil passes through UG and TZ you realized we would loose even more revenue. Ni kama vile tuwaambie msijenge bagamoyo port kwasababu ili Lamu port iwahudumie.



On the other hand, issue ya kulazimisha ukaguzi wa transhipment cargo ni sheria ambayo inakua practiced hapa EA pekee, huko kwengine hakuna sheria kama hizo, transhipment cargo hazikaguliwi hadi ifike final port of call....
 
It's always cheaper to combine, the volumes of oil pumped matters! BTW its the same reasons can be given by Tanzania as far as her refusal to abolish double charges! Lets see u build two pipelines alone one for crude oil and another for gas to heat ur waxy crude oil!

 
HYBRID CRANES TO CUT EMISSIONS IN TANZANIA

18 Mar 2020

Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) has invested in diesel-electric rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes for fuel savings, low emissions and easy maintenance.

Kalmar has signed a contract to supply TPA with a total of six hybrid Kalmar RTG cranes for use at Dar es Salaam port.
Mikko Mononen, vice president of sales, EMEIA at Kalmar, said: “The relationship between TPA and Kalmar goes all the way back to 1987 when we delivered our first diesel-electric RTGs to the customer. As one of our longest-standing customers, we are very pleased to continue our collaboration going forward and look forward to supporting them in achieving their strategic objectives for Dar es Salaam port.”

Low maintenance
At 1,000 hours, the RTG cranes have one of the longest maintenance intervals in the industry, while their modular design makes it easy to tailor to customer requirements.

The units delivered to TPA will be configured to handle 6+1 wide with 1-over-5 high stacking and will have a lifting capacity of 40t under the spreader.

They will also be equipped with a variable speed generator, which enables even greater fuel economy and lower emissions by automatically optimising RPM according to the required power.

Dar es Salaam port handles about 95% of Tanzania’s international trade and serves the landlocked countries of Malawi, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda.

Delivery is scheduled for Q1 of 2021.
