Roundup: Tanzania awards Turkish firm 1.92 bln USD railway deal
Source: Xinhua| 2017-09-30 03:30:43|
DAR ES SALAAM, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- The government of Tanzania on Friday awarded a 1.92 billion U.S. dollars contract to a Turkish firm to construct a 336-kilometer standard gauge railway (SGR) line from Morogoro to Makutupora in the east African nation's political capital Dodoma.
State-run Reli Assets Holding Company Ltd (RAHCO) that oversees the construction of the SGR said the Turkish firm Yapi Merkezi Insaat VE Sanayi As was the appointed contractor on the project and will design and construct the high-speed electric railway line.
Yapi Merkezi, a privately-owned Turkish contracting company, specializes in rail engineering, design, manufacture and construction.
"Fifteen contractors bought bid documents, but after careful assessment of the bids, Yapi Merkezi met both the technical and financial requirements," RAHCO said in a statement.
"The new railway line will have a capacity of transporting 17 million tonnes of cargo each year, with a 35 tonne axle load capacity. It will be used by electric trains moving at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour," added the statement.
Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Istanbul, Yapi Merkezi has also recently won similar big rail construction deals in Ethiopia.
The Tanzanian government wants the new standard gauge railway to replace the existing narrow gauge railway line built some 112 years ago.
In February this year, the same Yapi Merkezi company was awarded by the government a deal worth 1.22 billion dollars in joint venture with a Portuguese company to build a 300-kilometer SGR line from the port of Dar es Salaam to Morogoro.
The government did not immediately say how it would pay for the cost of building the Morogoro-Makutupora line, but it previously announced that it was constructing the railway section from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro using its own funds.
Speaking at a signing ceremony for the Morogoro-Makutopora rail deal, RAHCO's acting managing director, Masanja Kadogosa, said the line would be built within 36 months.
"The project will involve construction of 336 kilometers of the main railway line, 86km of an interchange rail, eight passenger stations and six cargo stations," he said
Makame Mbarawa, the Minister for Works, Transport and Communication, ordered the Turkish firm to speed up construction work.
"We have asked the contractor to shorten the duration of the construction period as much as possible," he said.
RAHCO said it would also award three additional tenders over the coming months to successful bidders for the construction of close to 700 kilometers of railway.
Tanzania plans to profit from its long coastline and upgrade its rickety railways and roads to serve the growing economies in the land-locked heart of Africa.
In total, the government expects to spend 14.2 billion U.S. dollars over the next five years to build a 2,561 kilometers standard gauge railway network connecting the country's main Indian Ocean port of Dar es Salaam to eastern and southern Africa's hinterland.
The Dar es Salaam port is a key regional transport hub for the landlocked nations of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda.

Tanzania to send railway staff overseas for training
Source: Xinhua 2018-07-08 01:50:06
DAR ES SALAAM, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Tanzania will send a team of 167 railway professionals to five countries, including China and South Korea, to undergo training in the operation of the much awaited train to run on the standard gauge railway (SGR), an official said on Saturday.
Tanzania Railway Corporation (TRC) Executive Director Masanja Kadogosa said the local staff, whose fields range from engineering to operators, were expected to be trained in China, South Korea, Ethiopia, Turkey and India.
Tanzania has chosen the five countries to train local experts due to their experience in running trains, he said.
"Through this collaboration in technology, local experts will be able to cope with the technology to run the SGR system effectively," said Kadogosa.
The first phase of construction of the SGR in the east African country was expected to be completed in November 2019.
Launched by President John Magufuli this year, the standard gauge railway, whose construction was being undertaken by a Turkish firm, Yapi Merkezi, and a Portuguese company, Mota-Engil, was expected to link the port of Dar es salaam with Mwanza and other countries including neighboring Rwanda and Burundi.
"Tanzania has already signed agreements with the five countries to train the railway experts," Kadogosa told a news conference at the ongoing 42nd Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (DIFT).
He said the move was aimed at ensuring that local experts were fully equipped and trained to operate the much awaited modern form of railway transport in the country.
Kadogosa said only qualified operators had been selected for the training.
"We have selected a team of experts in communication, logistics, technicians, civil, and electrical engineering including locomotive operators," he said.
According to him, the course duration will be from six months to two years, depending on the type of course.

^^ Eti Simple,,,, dont you mean cheaply designed, niliwaambia muwache ku compare reli iliyojengwa(kenya) vs reli iliyo kwa makaratasi... nikawaambia mtulie hadi ikamilike alafu ndo mpige makelele.... pole pole tu kadri mnavyoendeleza ujenzi mtaanza kuelewa kwanini reli ya Kenya ilikua gali...
Quick facts:
Uzinduzi rasmi wa phase 2A kenya ulianza October 2016....
Uzinduzi rasmi wa SGR Dar-Moro ulifanyika April 2017.. yani miezi sita baadaye... lakini mkataba wenyewe ulisema hau waturuki wajenge mchana na usiku tofauti na Kenya ambapo ujenzi unaendelea masaa 12 kwa siku...kwahivyo hio miezi sita ya ujenzi wa Kenya mnafaa muwe mulishaipiga lap kwasababu kwa kila siku kenya inafanya ujenzi tz inafanya atleast mara moja na nusu zaidi....
Simple and elegant is what you also describe a house built from shipping containers or a poor maasai kid wearing necklaces and beads... the words you should have been looking for to describe train stations built in this century is Iconic, state of the art, masterpiece, symbolic, mordern...etc
lakini ukiangalia tofauti ya progree ni kubwa sana!!!! swali ni je huu ujenzi wa usiku na mchana unaendelea kweli ama ni mchezo wa pata potea...

hiyo ni mojawepo ya garama, amabayo tumeshawashinda..
kitu chengine, matuta ya sgr kenya yanawekwa angalau 2 meters above the ground, matuta ya SGR Tz yanawekwa hata 0.6m hadi 1meter... tofauti ni kubwa sana kwa garama..
alafu la muhimu zaidi..reli ya Kenya ina uwezo wa kubeba tani 22 million kwa mwaka hata kama inatumia diesel...
wakati reli ya Tz inauwezo wa 17 million tonnes kwa mwaka na inatumia electric traction... mwishowe kitaeleweka tu! wa Ethiopia tayari washakubali kua kati ya reli zote zinazojengwa Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania. ..ni reli ya Kenya ndo iko superior zaidi ya hizo nyengine hata kama inatumia diesel!
