Dar port to handle 25 mln tons
Amesema .....Mwaka jana tulipitisha tani milioni 16.......Tutarajie baada ya uboreshaji.... rated capacity itakua 25 million!!!!!!!!Dar port to handle 25 mln tons
What did the word "to handle" mean?Amesema .....Mwaka jana tulipitisha tani milioni 16.......Tutarajie baada ya uboreshaji.... rated capacity itakua 25 million!!!!!!!!
So for now your capacity is 16 million tonnes, after the expansion project is when you expect to have a capacity of 25 tonnes...
I can also bring Kenya's version of MSA port expansion to handle 45 million tonnes...What did the word "to handle" mean?
Of all the other countries... Fastjet Tz is the only one making loses... The others are making profits... Which means the other countries with fastjet have strong domestic market to support the airline industry while Tz largely relyies on foreigners flying in to give business to the airline industry..

What is the source of this information??? Is it Kenyans?? Wakenya wana hofu sanaa dhidi ya Tanzania sijui kwanin....ama ni roho mbya na tabia za wizi zilizokithiri huko kwao!!😕😕😕😡😡😡😡World Bank ranks Kenya second best in logistics on the continent after SA

In Summary
- The bank’s Logistic Performance Index (LPI) released yesterday ranks Kenya at position 42 globally after it scored an average score of 3.33 points.
- By comparison, the survey ranks Uganda and Tanzania at positions 58 and 61 respectively. Uganda has an average score of 3.04 while Tanzania has 2.99 points.
The World Bank has classified Kenya as the best logistics performer in East Africa as continued removal of administrative controls and improved infrastructure pay dividends.
The bank’s Logistic Performance Index (LPI) released yesterday ranks Kenya at position 42 globally after it scored an average score of 3.33 points.
By comparison, the survey ranks Uganda and Tanzania at positions 58 and 61 respectively. Uganda has an average score of 3.04 while Tanzania has 2.99 points.
The LPI rates performance from one (worst) to five (best) based on data collected from more than 1,200 professionals from 160 countries.
Kenya’s logistics performance is second on the continent after South Africa which took position 20 in the global survey with a score of 3.78.
The LPI shows that the country has greatly improved trade flow and reduced the cost of doing business for importers and exporters.
“Efficient logistics connects firms to domestic and international markets through reliable supply chain networks”, the World Bank says in a report titled Connecting to Compete 2016 which it released yesterday
It continues: “Conversely, countries characterised by low logistics performance face high costs, not merely because of transportation costs but also because of unreliable supply chains, a major handicap in integrating and competing in global value chains.”
The bank acknowledges that supply chains may be complex but insists their performance is largely dependent on country characteristics, “especially the soft and hard infrastructure and institutions that logistics requires to operate well, such as imports, regulations, procedures, and behaviours.”
Improved performance of Kenya’s transport facilities is set to lift the country’s external trade profile. A seaport state, Kenya has faced competition from Tanzania, Eritrea and Djibouti which are all eying landlocked countries in the region.
The number of police checks have dropped on the Northern Corridor, same as weighbridges which are now four, down from six.
The government automated the Mariakani weighbridge to cut on time used in clearance and to do away with cases of corruption — factors that have facilitated inland and foreign trade and Kenya’s competitiveness in a global platform.
Kenya has also recently automated the issuance of the certificate of origin. The LPI says rapid improvements can be achieved regionally if countries have a strong political will and align their efforts to implementing administrative reform.

Tanzania has the best road networks than any country in EAC. We are competing with SA only when it comes to entire Africa. Lakin hawa mnayang'au wa Nairobi wanatuonea wivu balaa....maneno mengi kuliko vitendo.No place in Tanzania that looks like Northern Kenya i.e. disconnected n marginalized..
i have been there...the road is beautiful
Mtakula nyasi.....Wakenya mna roho mbaya sanaa. Kwanin mnaiogopa Tanzania sanaa??Tanzania has been lying about its debt situation. However the truth is out. Tanzania is among the heavily indebted countries in Africa.

For how much loan? When will you start paying this loan?? You guys are finished....Lamu
😀😀😀😀 you are finished......You were tricked by Chinese nationals and yet they built your railways at very high costs....I see after watching a couple of videos you have realized the ETCS is not sensors for preventing cows from being hit by a train but rather it's a traffic control system for train. More specifically European Train Control System ETCS was designed by combining different signaling system into one so that cross border trains in EU region can be able to cross into each others country seamlessly without running the risk of colliding with other trains due to incompatible signaling systems.... Comprende?
I also see you have now shifted the argument to Electromagnets and GPS.
The first mistake you did right there is try to Google a European technology ETCS (European Train Control System) and a Chinese built railway on the same sentence.. I would be surprised if you got a single hit on Google. It also means you just kept kept obsessing over ETCS without really understanding what it is essentially. It's just a Train(traffic) control system TCS. More specifically it's an automated TCS. And the main agents that make it work is by use of sensors.
Once you understand that basic stuff then you will know electromagnets and GPS are just sensors basically, that are meant to detect a train and it's exact position at that particular state in time and relay the info to the central command... (BTW do you know that the whole GPS system of satellite are owned by the US govt? Do you know that as a result of That China doesn't officially use GPS)
With that understanding at the back of your mind, you will also realized that there are many other sensors that can facilitate a TCS to know the speed/direction/position of a train.
So just because TZ trains will have an onboard GPS (am not saying Kenyan ones don't have) which is a very cheap thing to purchase... there are many other sensors that can do the job of a GPS and tell position. For example Kenyan SGR actually has a dedicated physical Fiber optic line with its own independent power line running all the way from Mombasa to Nairobi with sensors. So why rely on GPS satellite, owned by a third party to tell you your exact position when instead each sensor on the fiber optic knows it's exact location along the route based on a ping (in real time) or a static position configured on the sensor.

When the Sunday Standard travelled along the line last week, engineers were testing an automatic signaling system and fine-tuning the train scheduling routine. The signaling system operates on a fibre optic cable that runs parallel to the line supported by an independent electricity supply.
SGR an invaluable learning chance, say local workers

Next time I will bring pictures of the signalling and control system on Kenya SGR.
