the exercise will be carried out in collaboration with the tanzania revenue authority ( tra ) . a member of the committee , ms hafsa mossi from burundi commended the ongoing work and called upon tpa to work even harder to attract more business people . “burundi and other regional countries use this port , make sure it performs well for the benefit of all , ” she noted .
railways : the rail system has a total track length of 3 , 676km , which are operated by two railways systems : the tanzania railway limited ( trl ) and the tanzania - zambia railway authority ( tazara ) . the railways link the port of dar es salaam to the neighboring countries of burundi , the drc , malawi , rwanda , uganda and zambia . the tazara line ( total system length 975km in tanzania ) was constructed in the 1970s while construction of the trl line ( system length 2 , 707km ) commenced before the first world war . as such the trl line needs upgrades in order to meet potential demand and to compete with road transportation of goods .
magufuli , who prior of his appointment was the country’s public works minister , was elected president in october 2015 , becoming tanzania’s fifth president since independence .
according to prof mbarawa , once the port and railway projects are completed , tanzania will provide better cargo handling services compared with those of its competitors .
kilimanjaro international airport was built in 1971 , to mark the tenth anniversary of tanzania’s national independence . ever since , it has required much effort to upgrade the airport into a world - class point of entry to the region and this is something of a symbol of tanzania’s prime outlook on tourism . urltoken
tanzania’s main port , in the commercial capital dar es salaam , which serves six landlocked countries , has often been dogged by allegations of inefficiency and corruption .
prime minister kassim majaliwa yesterday issued a two - day ultimatum to kyela councillors in mbeya to resolve their differences or else the government will suspend the authority . the situation , pm said , was undermining the performance of the local government .
under the modernisation programme , eng . kakoko said attention will be paid to ports in the great lakes region , building karema , lagosa , kagunga , kirando , kibirizi and kalya berths .
“the minister also emphasized the commitment of the tanzanian government to developing the roads , ports and railways to facilitate transport of goods and stimulate economic activities within the two countries and the region .
the world bank ( wb ) and the african development bank ( afdb ) support tanzania in achieving its infrastructure development goals by providing grants and credits for projects .
the construction of the railway line will fulfil the wishes of tanzania’s founder , the late julius nyerere , who wished to link uganda directly to the indian ocean .
land - locked uganda announced in april it will build a pipeline for its oil through tanzania rather than kenya , which had wanted to secure the export route .
the tpa’s main indian ocean ports are dar es salaam , mtwara , and tanga . minor seaports serving coastal traffic include lindi , kilwa masoko , mafia island , bagamoyo , pangani and kwale .
road transport is the most widely used form of transport in tanzania , carrying over 90 % of the passengers and 75 % of the freight traffic in the country .
in tanzania still about 70 to 80 per cent labour is absorbed in this sector . agricultural progress permits the shift of manpower from agricultural to non - agricultural sector .
the lake , which straddles the border between tanzania , drc , burundi and zambia , is recognized as the world ' s second largest by volume and second deepest .
tanzania shippers council ( tsc ) chairman daniel mchome welcomed the suspension saying that for over two years the tpa had ignored the private sector in the decision making process .
the acting dar es salaam port manager , mr hebel mhanga said the authority is working hard to make it one of the biggest and efficient ports in the region and africa at large . “we have assured them that no cargo will be lost at this port and that we shall not pass illegal consignments here , ” he said . he explained that plans were ongoing to start scanning of on transit goods as it is the practice for local goods .
the ports which have been given a nod included mbweni , pwani - mlingotini , kisiju and nyamisati in dar es salaam as well as jasini , kigombe , kipumbwi , mkwaja and pangani in tanga .
2 . indeed ports world - wide are the nerve centers of global trade and economies . it is approximated that over 80 % of world trade is sea - borne . in kenya , the port of mombasa handles nearly 90 % of the country ' s external trade in terms of tonnage . clearly , if ports did not play their catalytic economic roles effectively , international trade will not thrive .
tanzania has begun work on a new megaport located around 75km north of dar es salaam which the country says will transform the country into a regional trade and transport hub .
the end of the swissport tanzania monopoly has opened the door for new players in the area of passenger and baggage handling in the tanzanian airports . [ . . . ]
tanzania plans to position itself as a regional trade hub and expects that this expansion scheme will increase cargo throughput from around 14 to 28 million tons a year by 2020 .
“the objective of this assignment is to undertake the study that determines economic , financial and technical viability of developing new ports at kilwa , lindi and rushungi , ” tpa said in one of several notices .
regarding the proposed facilities at kilwa , lindi and rushungi , applicants will have to provide cargo and traffic forecasts , advice the tpa on the optimum land required , provide preliminary designs for the ports’ layouts .
nonetheless , he said , in the 2014 / 15 fiscal year , the ports collectively handled 15 , 979 , 693 tonnes of cargo compared with 15 , 427 , 830 tonnes in 2013 / 14 .
“a lot of modernization after this draft report will be done in order to improve our ports services inside and outside our country , ” tpa acting director of planning and investment , mr gladson urio said .
“these are the top officials without whose authority no movement of containers from the port to icds would take place . they would have easily known that containers had been cleared without due taxes being paid but they did not take any action , ” said the pm .
“these are the top official without whose authority no movement of containers from the port to icds would take place . they would have easily known that containers had been cleared without due taxes being paid but they did not take any action , ” said the pm .
most tellingly , tanzania’s education system has failed to equip the local makonde people with skills . many are illiterate and lack the work ethic to satisfy even the most tolerant of employers . the makonde are often stereotyped elsewhere in tanzania as dancers and guards , with a love of the sensual , a talent for wooden sculpture and a taste for bush meat .
tanzania’s new president john magufuli has sacked several top port figures following the discovery that over 2 , 700 shipping containers were smuggled at the port of dar es salaam tax free .
in abdigi ramadhani’s 13 years as a truck driver , nothing has been more irksome than the lack of certainty over his itinerary each time he ferries goods between zambia and tanzania .
mr leonard mwakileo of tanzania freight forwarders company limited told the meeting that he was notified last december that he was required to pay sh41 million for goods he cleared in 2013 .
in 2015 , a delegation of malaysian policy experts travelled to tanzania to coach over 300 relevant tanzanian officials on priority areas in the tanzanian development plan . ports , under the management of the tpa , were one such area . clearly , the plan is being taken seriously and it provides some encouragement that other countries in the african community , like rwanda and nigeria , are developing similar plans .
these include a request for interest in consultancy services for feasibility studies and preliminary engineering designs for development of new ports at kilwa , lindi and rushungi , plus a transshipment hub along the coast of the indian ocean .
ngonyani said the government was aware of the businessmen who use unofficial ports to smuggle goods , illicit drugs , illegal immigrants , illegal fishing and use of marine vessels which are not safe so as to avoid taxes .
the government of tanzania is contributing $ 63 million through tpa , while the uk , through its department for international development ( dfid ) is also contributing a $ 12 million grant .
he described the plant as the largest in east and central africa , noting that the investment is huge and will have big impact as well as bilateral relations between tanzania and nigeria .
new port infrastructure should help with congestion but only if roads and railways are upgraded , too . new terminals are being built as far afield as nigeria , ivory coast , cameroon and togo . however , graft and inefficiency are proving harder to tackle . kenya is not alone in sacking officials . in december tanzania’s new president , john magufuli , dissolved the board of the port authority and sacked the permanent secretary of the transport ministry . but tanzania has sacked three port chiefs in three years ; kenya has been through half a dozen in a couple of decades . high - profile defenestrations do not do much to change the incentives faced by officials .
he directed the ministry of works , transport and communication , tpa board of directors and the tanzania revenue authority to follow up on tax evasion on containers at inland container depots ( icds ) , saying there was a company that was “stealing” from the government . “i will not reveal the company’s name today , but this firm takes cargo purported to be transit goods to icds before diverting them to the domestic market , thus denying the government revenue , ” he said .
others are kilambo in mtwara region , rushungi in lindi and kilwa - kivinje . he said that the process of formalising private ports was also done in lake victoria as well as in ilemela and nyamagana councils in mwanza .
the new tanzanian government has suspended the ambitious usd10 billion port at mbegani in bagamoyo and , instead , announced plans to focus more intensely on the approved but delayed expansion of the ports of dar es salaam and mtwara .
capacity at tanzania ' s port of dar es salaam looks set to increase to 25 million tonnes over the next seven years thanks to a world bank grant of us $ 12 million .

what is true of mombasa is true of ports across africa . from nigeria to djibouti , decrepit and inefficient container ports are being expanded with money from the world bank , governments ( particularly those of china and japan ) and logistics firms such as bollor�� ( a big french company which operates 14 port concessions across the continent ) . that offers the potential to transform african trade . yet corruption and poor management may mean the gains will be squandered .

the arab - israeli founder of the indoor navigation app offers a hardware - free solution for a more enjoyable shopping experience .
while the israeli app waze is very good at helping you navigate the drive to a shopping mall , there is currently no great solution for finding your way once you’re inside .
frida issa , 31 , a computer engineer from israel , developed mally to enable people to navigate in a closed environment like a shopping mall or even a museum .
shoppers download the app for free , and malls pay a setup and monthly fee . store owners can upload deals and promos that they want to give to the shoppers , and mally connects the dots .
instead of relying on extra beacons or expensive , battery - draining hardware , mally uses computer vision to help you get around the unknown space indoors with your smartphone’s built - in camera .
“all the other companies in the mall environment are trying to use hardware . they are installing bluetooth or wi - fi spots or audio devices , ” issa tells israel21c . “our solution is hardware - free . ”
once a 2d map of the indoor space is uploaded to mally’s servers , a detailed 3d map is generated automatically for the shopper .
point the camera at your location and give mally a command . the app can help you find your favorite stores , the restroom , the shop running a sale on baby items , or even santa . in the near future , it will also help you meet up with your friends somewhere in the same mall .
the idea was developed by issa , a christian arab woman from the haifa area , with a spanish partner . the new app is already installed in a mall in toledo , spain , and two more malls are coming on board next . it is currently available in english , hebrew , spanish and catalan .
“we are closing a deal with a shopping center’s administration agency , which is holding 47 malls in spain . they all have google indoor [ google maps on android devices ] already , but are totally unsatisfied with it , ” she says .
“to map the malls around the world isn’t easy , ” she continues . “we give the whole experience . when you enter , we not only help you navigate but also give you content and information — what offers are being made right now . “
for malls that have movie theaters , mally can inform users of show times and allow them to purchase tickets through the app .
“consider that there are now groups of mothers that buy things for children together . if 10 or more mothers go to a shop and buy the same thing , they’ll get a discount . it’s cheaper when they do it as a group . ”
the r & d for the company will remain in israel no matter what , she adds . in a previous startup that she founded , which didn’t take off , issa learned the hard way about the advantages of starting up in israel . she couldn’t find the same caliber of developers in europe .
mally isn’t the first to enter the indoor gps market from israel . there is also wisesec , which offers a box solution placed at the entrance of every shop . the company’s wiseby is now being tested at the moscow mall .
other local players from israel include navin and indoorgo , and they join dozens of other companies worldwide vying to capture the market .
according to gps world , there is a huge potential for indoor gps , or mobile indoor positioning ( ips ) . major companies like google and apple ( with their ibeacons ) are already planting their footprint in the market , and if the plan succeeds there may be no more use for a cash register as mobile apps can even handle transactions .
the test of time will be how moms and mall rats respond to all these apps and services .

thank you for creating the collection . you can add startups from the list below
one of the fastest - growing areas of mobile technology is indoor location positioning . early on , most of the start - up action was in europe , but there are now several indoor location start - ups in israel
the guest post was written by dr . bruce krulwich , founder of grizzly analytics , a firm that analyzes mobile technologies still in research & development , selling work to virtually all the mobile companies world - wide
one of the fastest - growing areas of mobile technology is indoor location positioning . apple recently acquired wifislam , aruba networks recently acquired meridian , ruckus wireless recently acquired yfind , and more deals in this area are announced every week . early on , most of the startup action was in europe , but there are now several indoor location startups in israel .
the need is clear . people now expect their mobile devices to know their locations , for maps & navigation , for location - based search , for check - ins , for tagging pictures and videos , for social networking , and for a myriad of other applications . but as soon as we go indoors , gps stops working . we can’t navigate around a store , share locations in a mall , tag pictures indoors , or in any way use our location when our devices are indoors . indoor location positioning technology refers to any technology that can tell a mobile device where it is when it’s indoors .
based on analysis of years of r & d by major companies and over 50 startups , there are 4 categories of technologies that are used to determine indoor location . interestingly , the startup companies in israel reflect each of these 4 approaches .
the first approach is to use existing radio signals , such as cellular or wi - fi signals , to calculate the current location . this is not easy to do , because , for example , it’s hard to know whether a weak signal is because the device is far from the signal’s antenna , or because there is a thick wall in between the antenna and the device that is interfering with the signal . the effectiveness of these approaches depends largely on how many signals ( cell towers , access points ) are detected . some systems calculate locations from radio signals using triangulation , which is fairly straightforward but tends not to be very accurate when there is interference of any sort . other systems use what is called “fingerprinting” to go through a site a collect the radio signal data every few meters , and then to calculate the device’s location by comparing the observed signals to the collection of fingerprints .
the second approach is to start with a known location based on gps , and as the device moves indoors , to track the device’s location using motion sensing . this “sensor fusion” motion sensing is based on the device’s accelerometer , compass , gyroscope and barometer . signals from these sensors can be combined to determine at every point in time exactly how far the device has moved and in what direction . many companies have researched how sensor data can be integrated , in software or in hardware , to track locations . the big challenge is how to compensate for tiny errors that tend to accumulate .
the third approach is to add new , customized radio devices in the areas that you want to cover , that can be used easily and effectively to determine location . these customized radio devices , usually called “beacons , ” emit signals using bluetooth , uwb , or other radio frequencies , that are used by devices to calculate their locations . in some cases the beacons transmit their locations , in some cases they transmit precise timing data , and in some cases the beacons merely transmit their id .
the fourth approach is to use other esoteric approaches to determine location . some companies are researching special lights that transmit data to devices . others are researching use of real - time cameraphone images to determine location and orientation . others are comparing sounds heard through the device’s microphone to profiles of sounds typically heard at various locations . others are using measurements of the earth’s magnetic field . approaches such as these have not yet been deployed in practical applications , but appear promising .
all of these approaches have been researched by major mobile , chip and technology companies , including google , microsoft , apple , samsung and others . these approaches have also all been developed into solutions by startup companies , many of whom have deployed their technology in malls or offices worldwide . google has added indoor location to google maps , covering thousands of malls and other public places world - wide . but for truly effective and accurate indoor positioning , malls and large stores are deploying their own apps , that integrate indoor location solutions specifically turned for their locations .
while most of the early startup action in indoor location was based in europe , there are now several startups here in the startup nation ( aka the tiny dynamo ) that are working in this area .
haifa - based wisesec has developed beacons based on bluetooth low energy , or ble , that can deliver sub - meter accuracy in indoor location positioning . ble is currently supported primarily by iphones , but has begun to emerge in android smartphones as well . as the name implies , ble is designed for low power requirements , both in smartphones and in the beacons that are deployed around the site . wisesec claims that 50 - 60 of their beacons can give this excellent indoor location positioning accuracy for a site of roughly 10 , 000 square meters . deploying 50 - 60 beacons obviously takes work , but sub - meter accuracy is 5 - 10 times more accurate than most indoor location technology on the market . wisesec has been working until now in security - related markets , and is now entering the mobile arena . in addition to indoor location positioning , wisesec is exploring how its technology can be used for other things , such as mobile payments .
indoorgo is developing technology based on research at the kinematics & computational geometry multidisciplinary laboratory of ariel university . the company’s operations and r & d split between israel and russia . indoorgo initially created highly - mathematical sensor fusion software that integrated sensor data to track locations as a device moved , and later integrated radio signal analysis to compensate for accumulated errors in motion tracking .
the most recent entrant to the indoor location space in israel is navin , just recently out of stealth mode . their technology uses sensor fusion to track a device’s movements for a short time , and then combines that data with data from other nearby phones to construct a map of the site . at the same time , devices store radio signal fingerprints ( presumably including wi - fi signals ) as they move around . these signal fingerprints are then used by other devices to estimate their locations based on observed radio signals . in this way , their system uses crowdsources to combine the benefits of radio signal fingerprinting with the self - starting nature of sensor fusion .
there are a few other indoor location positioning initiatives in israel , currently in stealth mode , but these four startups cover a range of technology approaches . there are over fifty indoor location startups world - wide , virtually all of them taking approaches similar to one of the four described above .
i predict that by the middle of 2014 we’ll have indoor location trials in malls in israel , some using technology from israeli startups and some with technology from abroad . i also expect that waze will leverage google’s indoor location technology to integrate indoor location maps .
the next question is what users will want from indoor location technology . are maps and navigation enough ? do you want to find friends that are in the same mall ? automatically check - in to the stores that you walk into ? remind you when you near a store that sells something you need ? all this and more might be coming soon !
