Lamu gears up for cargo transfers
Kenya’s new port of Lamu will start operations as a transshipment hub when the complete berth and container yard are commissioned in early March.
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.
“We have made tremendous progress in this initiative as the proposal has already been approved by the EAC, and its removal will go a long way in supporting transshipment business at the port of Lamu of which shipping agents have expressed interest,”
KPA managing director Daniel Manduku told The EastAfrican in an e-mail.
He added that Maersk shipping line, one of the companies operating at the Mombasa port, has committed to call in the first vessel.

Kuna watu wanaamini wata-serve Tanzania ports! In this era of Magufuli? This same Magufuli that snachted Uganda pipeline from their eyes n Rwanda, Burundi n DRC to SGR Tanzania in the central corridor! Waangalie tu Uganda will definitely change their mind this year if construction of both SGR Isaka-Mwanza and SGR Isaka-Kigali routes kickstart! Watch this space! Imagine even at water transportation at Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa, the dude has invested a lot and as a matter of fact, for Budget year 2020/202 he has set aside more crayz funds for more projects!

Somalia brings supermajors back into the fold as IMF agrees to forgive debt
5 March 2020 9:53 GMT UPDATED 5 March 2020 12:11 GMT

in Paris
Peace has broken out after years of acrimony between Somalia’s federal government and member states, with a working accord on revenue sharing and a majority of International Monetary Fund (IMF) members pledging debt relief.
The disbursement and distribution of $1.7 million in back-payment of major oil company surface rentals to the federating states is an extraordinary achievement after 30 years of civil conflict, as is the decision by 100 IMF member states to forgive some $330 million of festering sovereign debt.
New-found confidence in Somalia’s efforts to establish a stable and transparent administration is evident in the “co-created roadmap” announced this week by Petroleum Minister Abdirashid Mohamed Ahmed, in which Shell and ExxonMobil accepted the possibility of converting concessions into production sharing contracts under the 2019 Petroleum Act.
Subsidiaries Shell EP and Mobil Exploration in joint venture hold five offshore blocks in the Indian Ocean shallows but declared force majeure when civil war erupted in 1990, joining the onshore exodus of Chevron, Amoco, Conoco, Phillips Petroleum and Lundin Oil.
Upstream understands from the supermajors that a "constructive dialogue" is underway while both companies "continue to monitor the security and operating environment in and surrounding Somalia.”
Precisely what conditions have been imposed on this generous act of multilateral debt alleviation remain unknown, nor have the restive Somali provinces seen fit to comment.
Just last month, the autonomous province of Puntland bemoaned the lack of a proper constitutional framework, castigated the regime of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo and insisted oil companies should hold off.
What, then, is the context of this supposed rapprochement? Militias loyal to Puntland and the breakaway Republic of Somaliland skirmished this week over the disputed gas-rich territory of Sanaag, while federal forces clashed again with Jubbaland militia in the south, sending civilians fleeing into neighbouring Kenya.
Federal Petroleum Minister Ahmed is nonetheless adamant that these accords “give us confidence to further explore our hydrocarbon potential”.
Though whether sweetness and light really has descended upon this war-torn land remains to be seen.(Copyright)

Seems Lamu Port couldn't persuade oil supermajors to sideline Somalia!
