Mr. Ephrem Mgawe

Director General

Ports management and operations.

The Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) is a public corporation that manages and operates the ports of Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Mtwara, and the minor ports of Kilwa, Lindi, Mafia, and the inland ports on lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa. TPA’s main business units are the container terminal, general cargo berths, grain terminal, passenger terminal and lighterage quay, oil terminals, marine services, and dockyard.

Expansion project at the Dar es Salaam port.

TPA would like to convert two berths out of the existing eleven to handle bulk grain carriers of 11.7 meters draft regularly required at the Dar es Salaam port. Once the project is completed, TPA expects to achieve the following:

• increased capacity for handling bigger vessels,
• increased traffic, and
• improve quality of service.

This is a high-priority project for TPA to be implemented on a fast-track basis and be operational by 2008.

The estimated project cost is US$ 50 Million. TPA would provide some equity funding to cover development cost, however, would prefer to engage an EPC contractor on a turnkey basis to design, procure, and carry out construction works.

The payback period of the project is less than 10 years.

Ports management and operations.

The Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) is a public corporation that manages and operates the ports of Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Mtwara, and the minor ports of Kilwa, Lindi, Mafia, and the inland ports on lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa. Its main business units are the container terminal, general cargo berths, grain terminal, passenger terminal and lighterage quay, oil terminals, marine services, and dockyard.

Expansion project at the Dar es Salaam port.

This project involves dredging of the entrance channel to accommodate ships classified as Panamax, i.e. of maximum dimensions fitting through the locks of the Panama Canal. The expansion will involve deepening and widening of the port entrance, dredging and strengthening of the berths, and the procurement of handling equipments.

The project expects to deliver the following benefits:

• reduce the ship port staying time and turn-around time,
• lower freight charges,
• reduce transit time,
• greater throughput capacity, and
• high-rating of port safety standards.

The estimated project cost is US$ 50 Million. TPA seeks debt financing for this project, and also welcomes equity participation from investors. The estimated payback period is less than 10 years.

Ports management and operations.

The Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) is a public corporation that manages and operates the ports of Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Mtwara, and the minor ports of Kilwa, Lindi, Mafia, and the inland ports on lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa. Its main business units are the container terminal, general cargo berths, grain terminal, passenger terminal and lighterage quay, oil terminals, marine services, and dockyard.

Expansion project at the port of Dar es Salaam.

In addition to the wear-and-tear of the dockyard, the increased operation of TPA has recently outgrown the existing capacity. Often times some of the commercial vessels currently registered with TPA have to dry-dock in the neighboring countries, an exercise which is not only costly but also causes inconvenience to customers.

The current dockyard consists of a boat slipway with two rails and two-rail lifting systems, boat shed, woodwork and machine shop, plate shop, and a service jetty.

To mitigate the aforementioned problems including minimizing loss of revenue and enhance services, TPA wants to procure a floating dock and rehabilitate the existing workshop.

The estimated project cost is US$ 15 Million. TPA seeks joint venture partner for equity contribution, and possibly engage in the operations and management of the project. The estimated payback period for this project is less than 10 years.

Its main business units are the container terminal, general cargo berths, grain terminal, passenger terminal and lighterage quay, oil terminals, marine services, and dockyard.

Expansion project at the port of Dar es Salaam.

TPA would like to build two new cargo freight stations to support the drastic increase in volume of containers going through the port. The existing facilities, two depots operating as cargo freight stations can support up to 250,000 TEU’s (Twenty for Equivalent Unit) per year. This has created a backlog in handling containers because the current volume is approximately 300,000 TEU’s. TPA projects the volume of TEU’s to reach 1 million by 2015.

The new freight station facilities would include the following:

• concrete block paved area for container stacking,
• asphalt surfaced area for storage of vehicle imports,
• transit Shed and rail siding, and
• a workshop building.

The estimated project cost is US$ 50 Million, US$ 25 million for each station. TPA welcomes a joint venture partner to provide equity, and possibly operating and managing the project. The estimated payback period is less than 10 years.

Expansion project at the port of Dar es Salaam.

TPA would like to replace the existing Single Point Mooring (SPM) facility and the related sub-sea pipeline system to support the anticipated increase in volume of crude oil at the port following the government’s intentions of reviving the refinery plant. The current SPM facility located south of the port moors tankers up to 120,000 dwt (dead weight), handling about 300,000 tons of crude oil.

The proposed facility will have the capacity of handling bulk liquid products, and refined liquid products. TPA expects the new facility to provide increased revenue in addition to improvement in quality of service, safety, efficiency and the capacity to handle bigger vessels.

The estimated project cost is US$ 44 million. TPA invites joint venture partners to contribute in the form of equity, and possibly manage and operate the project. The payback period is less than 10 years.
