Duh! Haya mawazo ni ya wakenya tu.
Minerals zipo
Kahama, Shinyanga, Geita, Mwanza, Singida, Tabora even kigoma.
Reli inapita huko ndugu.
Yaani wewe jamaa!!!

And what do u think they will want to do that with the most modern SGR in Africa already existing? WI'll that be economical? Do you know a reason why colonial rail ended in Kigoma? Palm oil that is rejuvenated! That is aside tea n mineral exports from Rwanda n DRC!

Hata nyinyi wakati inajengwa mliambiwa ita enda kwa 120km/hr right!! na hiyo ni average na ndyo inatambulika rasmi hizo nyingine ni bla bla za Mchina! kwa sababu kuna sehemu speed lazima ipungue, na kuna sehemu inaruhusu top speed, kwa hyo ata hii yetu ambayo ni electric na ita tambaa kwenye continous welded track kuna sehemu ita enda zaidi ya 160 usishangae ikafika 280 si unajua yetu ni modern zaidi [emoji2]

Another way to look at it.

Dar port handled about 16 million tonnes 2017. Considering that Dar is the biggest city, contributing a huge chunk of GDP to Tanzania, its safe o say a significant chunk of the cargo coming into dar from outside will be destined for dar.

16miilion tonnes a year, per day will be

(16,000,000/12)/30 = 44,444 tonnes per day


Lets assume for a second that all this 44 thousand tonnes a day arrives close to one another at a certain point in time and will all be going interland to one location , If each train has a capacity of 10,000 tonnes (or about 540 TEUs if you use a standard 18.5t for 1 TEU), That would mean

44,444/10,000 = you would need only 4 full trains and a fifth train carrying 444 tonnes,


or if you consider a load factor where if 70% of then train is full the train can leave
44,444/7,000 = 6.349 trains to evacuate all the cargo


-----
That was the assumption, now lets have a reality check

If i'm bieng modest, about 30% of all the cargo comming into dar-port from outside is destined for within daresalaam, so this wont require use f the SGR. that leaves us with 70% of 44,444 tonnes = 31,110 tonnes.

We dont expect the SGR to carry all the cargo, so again, if am bieng optimistic , the best case scenario, about 20% of this 31,110tonnes will still use trucks to ferry leaving 80% cargo for the rail, i.e 0.8 x 31,110 = 24,888 tonnes a day

That translates to 3 trains a day or 4 trains a day if you consider a load fator of 70% full...

Now given that ships at a port of call dont all arrive at once but continuously through the day, and given the fact that a port like dar has multiple births at different locations withing the port area, and given the fact that one ship could be carrying goods destined for different parts of dar and beyond dar, Imajin the logistics required for 1 10,000 train to fill up by picking cargo at different births within the port .....
Remember, a single day is 24 hours, and the dar port is opened 24 hours, this translates to on average 24,888t/24hrs =1037 tonnes bieng loaded on the train every our............ So in essence, to load 7,000t on a single train, the train will criss cross the port for 7000t/1037t-hr = 7 hours. And if you want the train to be full 100% it will take 10,000t/1037t-hrs = 10 hours to fill one train... Goods arriving at 7am will wait till 4pm

We also have to consider that all these goods are not destined for one, place, some will be offloaded in moro, Mwanza, ICDs some will be destined for Uganda, some Arusha...etc,


==================================
If Tz had the equivalent of people like David ndii and the equivalent of Media houses like Standard group,the star, NMG..... They would have done this kind of analysis and posted it in one of the dailies for public consumtion, but since you dont have (all you have is what the CCM government is telling you), I will leave it there for tonight

Could it be the reason the Tz Govt is hastily trying to relocate to Dodoma in a bid to get some traffic for their poorly organized railway?

Tanzania tunalipuliwaga sana kazi hata hii itakuwa ya vululuvalala tu.[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] tena inaweza kamilika 2030

Hata mimi nawasiwasi na hilo maana tukiangalia hii mwenge morocco, majengo ya UD, kivuko, vitu ambavyo vinajengwa kwa hari na matamshi ya wanasiasa ni majanga tu, Wao wanataka imalizike then wajitape kwamba wamewajengea reli ya kisasa ila kuhusu Quality ndo tatizo labda tusubiri tuone maana huu ni mjumuiko wa ma engineer kama 7 labda wataleta kitu cha tofauti

TZ railway probable Africa’s best

RELI Assets Holding Company (RAHCO) is confident that Tanzania’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) which is currently under construction, is expected to be the best railway in Africa upon completion.

0 Comments

The first phase of construction of 300 kilometres from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro is currently being undertaken by the Turkish company Yapi Merkezi, in partnership with a Portuguese firm, Mota-Engil Africa. According to RAHCO Project Manager Maizo Mgedzi, the construction of the first phase has been completed by 20 per cent so far, since construction activities began in May last year.

The phase is expected to be completed in November 2019. Tanzania’s SGR is of higher quality compared to those already built in some countries in Africa. Mr Mgedzi mentioned Ethiopia, South Africa, Kenya and Morocco as among African countries that have built modern railways; but pointed out that the SGR built in those countries had a speed capacity of 120Km/h compared to 160 Km/h of Tanzania’s SGR.

“The SGR we are building will be electrified compared to the SGR built in some African countries which use diesel trains. For example, Ethiopia is now building an electrical SGR and a small part of Johannesburg SGR in South Africa which is also electrified,” he said, adding: “We are also building a railway line capable of allowing 2km long trains to exchange routes at stations while the ones in other countries are less than one kilometer long; so the quality of the railway we are building in Tanzania is of higher quality compared to those in otherAfrican countries.”

By considering the quality and durability of the railway, the government has decided to build the concrete standard gauge railway which is more durable compared to the Meter Gauge railway that is currently in operation.

On the advantages of using concrete sleepers on SGR, the project manager said that it would enable trains to carry heavy weight load of up to 35 tonnes per excel whereas the existing Meter Gauge railway cannot exceed 14 tonnes of cargo per excel. He explained further that, concrete sleepers were also able to withstand a speed of 160km per hour passenger train and 120 Km per hour cargo train while the currently operating train cannot exceed 70Km/h.

In addition, the modern railway line will have a 1,435 mm width (equal to 1.435 meters) while the current railway has only 1,000 mm, width which is equal to one meter. “The bigger width of the railway we are building will enable the train to be stable, faster and more secure. So the width of the railway we are constructing is 435 mm more compared to the current meter gauge railway; and when we say ‘gauge’ it means the width of the railway.

Railways have two legs, namely the left and the right legs which are fastened with sleepers, so the width between one rail and the other is called ‘gauge’,” Mr Mgedzi elaborated.

On the quality and standards, the railway constructed in the country will be able to transport between 17 to 25 million tonnes of cargo per year compared to the meter gauge whose capacity is to transport only 5 million tonnes of cargo per year. Regarding the passengers’ train, the RAHCO project manager said that due to the length of exchange routes at stations, the railway can transport a higher number of passengers, but initially, it will transport not less than 1.2 million passengers a year.

The completion of the first phase of the project will facilitate the existence of three passenger trains as the starting point. The trains will be undertaking daily round trips between Dar es Salaam and Morogoro. Mr Mgedzi told the ‘Daily News’ that one passenger train can operate three to four trips per day between Dar es Salaam and Morogoro , thus making it possible to have a total of nine to 12 trips per day, but the number can be increased as passengers increase.

“When you start with something new, the first step you have is to attract customers by offering them reliable, fast and timely service and above all by avoiding wastage of time along the route; these are important criteria for winning the confidence of customers,” said Mr Mgedzi.

According to the project manager, the modern railway from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro would have a total of six stations Dar es Salaam, Pugu, Soga, Ruvu, Ngerengere and Morogoro.

Describing the lifespan of the envisaged railway, Mr Mgedzi said that its bridges had been designed to survive for 100 years, while the rail itself can survive for 40 years before major repairs. On electrical and communication systems, he said that it depended on the type of plant and cables that would be used, adding that the designs were still underway and that information about its lifespan would be released later.
