The Tanzania Ports Authority has floated an EOI,
expression of interest, for a feasibility study on the development of a dry port at Kisarawe.
The consultancy’s objective is to determine the viability of developing the dry
port under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement.
This is a multi-discipline consultancy whose
deliverables include; economic and financial analyses, environmental and social
impact assessments and detailed engineering designs and cost-estimates.
According to an advertisement in PPP infra world,
the scope of the services will include but not limited to the following
activities:
i) To conduct a comprehensive land use survey
(Cadastral survey in Kisarawe District
ii) To conduct a detailed feasibility study that
examines the economic, financial and technical rationale for developing a Cargo
Freight station in Kisarawe District
iii) To prepare viable outline designs for the
dry port, road and rail accesses and provide all Front – end Engineering and
Design, cost estimates and drawings
iv) To conduct a preliminary EIA and Social
Impact Assessment and develop mitigation measures
v) To identify and analyze potential risks,
impacts the likelihood of occurrence and the possible mitigation measures for
the recommended PPP options.
A pre-feasibility has concluded that Kisarawe district,
to the South West of the port of Dar-Es-Salaam is an ideal location of the dry
port. The dry port is expected to ease congestion at the port of Dar-Es-salaam,
the largest port inn Tanzania.
The port of ar-Es-salaam has a capacity of 4.1 Million tons of
dry cargo and 6 million tons of bulk cargo a year. However, it has come under increased pressure
due to increase in demand for imports in Tanzania and also in the neighbouring
land locked countries. The dry port will handle bulk cargo and cars landed at
the Port.
