AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> PARLIAMENT has been informed here that the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) has entered into an agreement with Anova Consult Company Ltd to work together in a robust plan to improve all ports countrywide.<\/p>\n

The plan gives a clear directive on the improvement of all ports on the shores of the Indian Ocean, Lake Victoria and Lake Nyasa.<\/p>\n

This was revealed in the National Assembly on Wednesday by the ministry of Works, Transport and Communications when responding to a question by Special Seats lawmaker Oliver Semuguruka (CCM).<\/p>\n

In her main question, the MP said the government through TPA constructed a modern berth for parking ships at the small port of Kyamkwikwi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to enquire, when\u00a0 this berth be improved to allow docking of major ships at the Kyamkwikwi port?\u2019\u2019 the MP asked.<\/p>\n

The special seats lawmaker also demanded the government\u2019s response on when\u00a0 another modern berth would be constructed on Goziba Islands.<\/p>\n

However, in a written response, the ministry affirmed that improvements of the ports begun in November 2019 and that they were expected to be completed in October, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven as we continue with those plans, the government entered into a contract with NIRA Consulting S.P.A in collaboration with Intercontinental company to conduct a feasibility study on the lake Victoria port,\u2019\u2019 noted the ministry.<\/p>\n

The ministry further said that the completion of all construction works will give a clear direction in identifying all areas where berths are needed as well as identifying those which need improvements to allow docking of the big ships.<\/p>\n

The ministry further assured the MP and all residents in the lake Victoria zone, including the small port of Kyamkwikwi , Lake Tanganyika and lake Nyasa that the completion of the feasibility study will offer a proper vision on the efficiency of ports in the country<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
