The railway line will provide connectivity from Mtwara Port to Liganga Iron Ore fields located about 874km west of Mtwara Port. The studies made an estimation reserve size of between 200 - 2000 million tones at Liganga. And also provide connectivity from Mtwara Port to Mchuchuma coal fields located 946km from Mtwara around Lake Nyasa in the South-western part of the country. Mineral reserves in Mchuchuma coal fields are estimated 159 million tones as proven and 377 million tones as inferred.

Construction of a new railway line from Mtwara Port to Songea - Mbamba Bay with spurs to the mineral fields of Mchuchuma and Liganga, south west of Tanzania (approx 1,000km).

<p>"The project will be done in two phases. Phase-I will constitute the construction of a petroleum jetty and oil terminal facilities to handle 3.38 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA). The additional facilities for Phase-II would handle up to 6.46 MMTPA of petroleum products.

The dedicated petroleum jetty would be constructed at water depth of around 23 metres. The approach trestle would be of length some 765 metres and would accommodate tankers, each of size up to 150,000 DWT at Albion.

The oil terminal would have storage capacity 430,000 m3 in Phase-I and additional 335,000 m3 in Phase-II, i.e. overall 765,000 m3. The numbers and capacities of tanks have been worked out for both phases based on annual trading volume from the proposed terminal and also considering the capacities of the import and export tankers."</p>

<p>The Amilcar Cabral submarine Cable Project is part of the ECOWAS broadband Backbone infrastructure programme aimed at connecting the island nation of Cabo Verde to its nearest neighbors on the mainland namely Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Sierra Leone and The Gambia. </p>

<p>An underwater cable about 4,500 km long will connect the five (5) countries of the UMA by proposing two (2) landing points per country in order to also offer them the security of part of their national network.</p><p>The project serves an existing infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is less than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector existing asset.</p><p>The project must be carried out in two phases: The first, which lasts between 09 and 12 months, consists of: - Define the precise route and landing points in each country. Conduct an environmental impact study. Create the network operating company (in the form of a private company or public and private joint venture) - Write the project specifications. Launch the tender, analyze the offers and enter the contract with the selected supplier. The second phase, which lasts 12 months, concerns the physical realization of the network and its commercial commissioning.</p><p><br></p>
