Unlike you I'm not in a hurry to talk much about projects that are yet to start - in this thread alone you have more than 10 posts about your pipeline and your dam ... That BRT is supposed to start march next year, I can wait

Spanish engineering and technology groupSENER has contracted the basic design of a 1,200-passenger ferry for Tanzanian shipping line Kampuni ya Huduma za Meli (Marine Services Co., Ltd.) to the Korean company GAS Entec.
"With this new engineering contract, SENER has the experience from having built over 1,200 ships and offshore artifacts worldwide under its own designs. With more than 60 years working in the Marine sector, nowadays SENER provides professional services to shipyards, technical offices, shipping lines, ship owners and official organizations all over the world," claimed a press release from the company.
The scope of the project to be developed by SENER includes conceptual and classification engineering, and is going to be developed with the FORAN System, the CAM/CAD/CAE software for ship design and construction developed by SENER.
The design belongs to a specialty well known by SENER due to the recent references of passengers and Ro-Ro vessels, among them the 1,500 passenger ferry for Viking Line or the 1,200 passenger ferry ‘Mapinduzi II' for Posco Plantec.
With its 90-meter length, this new ferry will be the largest vessel on the African Great Lakes, and sail on Lake Victoria linking ports in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. The parts are expected to be built in Korea and transported by ship and rail - a huge logistical challenge - to the city of Mwanza, in the northwest of the country, where the ferry will be assembled and delivered.

Tanzania LNG ExxonMobil Shell

Tanzania ups the pace on LNG project
Equinor, ExxonMobil and Shell are among the interested parties
Tanzania's efforts to speed up talks with Equinor and ExxonMobil over of a Host Government Agreement (HGA) to develop an onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) project suggests a renewed sense of urgency, as the government seeks to ensure the country does not lose out altogether to neighbouring Mozambique as a regional gas export hub.
Equinor says it has received signals from Tanzanian president John Magufuli that he wants to start talks with the two companies on the development of a proposed onshore LNG project. Contacts have been continuing off and on for four years, but there seems to be optimism over the chances of progress this time around.
The companies hold the license for Block 2, off southern Tanzania, which has reserves estimated at more than 20 trillion cubic feet (cf) of gas in place. Equinor is operator with 65%, while ExxonMobil holds 35%.
"Negotiations have not yet started and a timeframe has not yet been put in place. From our side we are committed to contribute to an efficient execution of the negotiations," an Equinor spokesman told Petroleum Economist.
Earlier, this year, it was reported that ExxonMobil wanted to sell its stake in Block 2 so that it could focus its East African activities on its planned LNG project in Mozambique. However, it remains committed to the Tanzanian negotiations at this stage, according to Equinor.
Shell keen to participate
Shell, which has made discoveries on adjacent acreage, is eager to participate in any export facility. The company and its partner Ophir Energy are developing the Blocks 1 and 4, which are estimated to hold around 16 trillion cf of recoverable gas.
"It is our understanding that the objective of all partners involved in the Tanzania LNG project is to have a single, joint project. We share the view that such a joint integrated project will result in a globally competitive LNG project, which will yield far greater benefits for the host country than a small project can," a Shell spokesperson told Petroleum Economist.
The Anglo-Dutch major said it was awaiting a decision from the Tanzanian government on the next steps, but that it was "keen to make progress".
Equinor has not detailed the nature of any talks with Shell, but said it continues "to have a good relationship with the other international companies involved".
Long lead time
The export facility, which has been under discussion since 2014, is likely to be built on the coast at Lindi in southern Tanzania, adjacent to the country's offshore discoveries in its portion of the Rovuma Basin. Across the border in Mozambique, the basin has yielded gas discoveries leading to reserve estimates of well over 150 trillion cf. These are already being targeted by one floating LNG project led by Eni, which is under construction, and two planned LNG export projects, led by Andarko and ExxonMobil.
On its website, Equinor suggests the Tanzanian project could take the form of a 7.5mn tonne a year facility, and that it could take around nine years to progress from signing an HGA via a final investment decision to first production. However, the spokesman said it was too early in the current round of talks to provide concrete details about the technical aspects, timing and costs of the project.
Tough talking
Magufuli's government has sought to maximise benefits from energy and mining projects for the East African nation over recent years. It has insisted that export projects have a strong focus on domestic infrastructure development, as well as seeking to enforce tight regulation and negotiating greater government revenues. Equinor's production sharing agreement for Block 2 requires 10% of gas produced to go to the local market, potentially doubling current electricity production in Tanzania.
Back in the post-2014 era of low hydrocarbons prices, such requirements deterred investors with curtailed spending budgets from taking the plunge in Tanzania. By contrast, in Mozambique, the government sought to get the LNG sector off the ground by allowing a greater share of the gas from the first projects to be exported, helping to push along the three LNG projects there.
Eni's FLNG project in Mozambique, already under construction, is due to come onstream in 2022, with Andarko and ExxonMobil both targeting first production in the mid-2020s. By contrast any Tanzanian project would seem unlikely to be producing before the end of the 2020s at the earliest, even if the current round of talks is concluded rapidly.

Air Tanzania Takes Delivery of First Airbus A220 Aircraft Powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF™ Engines
NEWS PROVIDED BY
Pratt & Whitney
09:00 ET
MIRABEL, Quebec, Dec. 21, 2018/PRNewswire/ -- Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) and Air Tanzania celebrated delivery of the airline's first A220 aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines. Air Tanzania, headquartered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, will be the first airline based in Africa to operate GTF engines and the A220 aircraft.
Pratt & Whitney and Air Tanzania celebrated delivery of the airline’s first A220 aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines.
"We place trust in aircraft with high reliability, operational versatility and fuel efficiency which is why we selected the A220 aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines," said Ladislaus Matindi, CEO of Air Tanzania. "We are excited to offer our passengers enhanced comfort and more flight options while promoting development and growth in the markets we serve."
The United Republic of Tanzania, represented by the Tanzanian Government Flight Agency (TGFA) signed an agreement for two Pratt & Whitney GTF-powered Airbus A220 aircraft and one Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150-powered Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft in December 2016. The airline will be utilizing the aircraft for domestic and international operations, expanding their routes and growing beyond Africa.
"While Air Tanzania is well known to the Pratt & Whitney family, having previously operated Pratt & Whitney-powered Q300 and Q400 aircraft, we are embarking on a new journey together as they take delivery of their first GTF-powered A220 aircraft," said Rick Deurloo, senior vice president of sales, marketing and customer support at Pratt & Whitney. "The impact this airline will make on the region with the operation of these two aircraft is truly notable. The GTF engines offer proven economic and environmental benefits with the ability to fly farther with less fuel, making Air Tanzania's decision to expand their route network a viable solution. We look forward to growing this relationship together." The A220, exclusively powered by the GTF engine, offers double-digit improvement in operating costs compared to current generation aircraft. It's 20% more fuel efficient and provides a 75% reduction in noise footprint and NOx emissions 50% below the ICAO CAEP 6 regulation.
