Executive Summary
Introduction
Against the background of a problem analysis concerning the congestion observed in and
around the Port of Dar Es Salaam, the Client has commissioned the Pre-feasibility study,
review of PPP options and optimum option for establishment of the Kisarawe Freight
Station.
The government of Tanzania, through the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA), is aware that
large parts of the Kisarawe and Kibaha Districts are currently under-utilised and has
identified this area for potential freight station development with the purpose of relieving
the port and city of Dar es Salaam of congestion. This study is intended to explore the
feasibility of developing the Kisarawe Freight Station and connecting the facilities to the
Port (through rail and road connections) through Public Private Partnership (PPP)
arrangements.
This final report incorporates the comments of TPA and the World Bank received in the
months of April, May and October 2010 and February 2011.
Scope of work
The ToR outlines the scope of work for this assignment to include the following items:

Identification of possible sites
A number of potential sites have been reviewed and data has been collected on the
available areas of land and provision and condition of infrastructure, connectivity to road
and rail, and social/environmental aspects. This has resulted in eight potential sites for the
freight station (see Figure 0.1):
Kiwalani;
Yombo;
Tabata;
Pugu North;
Pugu South;
Kisarawe South
Kisarawe North;
Ubungo.
Figure 0.1 Geographical location of the eight potential sites
Site selection
The following site selection criteria have been included in the site selection analysis:
Availability of land;
Accessibility;
Market volume freight station;
Social and employment issues;
Proximity to service providers;
Construction cost;
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 5
Safety;
Environmental conditions at the site level.
A multi criteria analysis was carried out based on certain weighing of criteria set by the
Consultant in coordination with the World Bank and TPA. After reviewing the Kisarawe
district visually and technically, it became evident that a site at Kisarawe close to the A7
(Morogoro Road, T1 road according to Tanroads classification) was considered as the
preferred option based on logistics attractiveness and investment cost levels. In this report
further detailed design and financial evaluation has been made for the Kisarawe North
area only.
Objective, role and function of the Kisarawe Freight Station
The objective of the Kisarawe Freight Station (KFS) are to create an extended gate of the
port of Dar es Salaam in the form of a freight station that will help relieve the city and
port of Dar es Salaam of congestion. More in particular, the objectives are as follows:
Increase DSM port capacity
Increase DSM port productivity
Reduce congestion at ship-shore interface
Reduce city congestion
Lower environmental impact
Improve asset utilisation for port, road and rail transport service providers
Improve transport productivity and intermodal capacity
Reduce transport cost
Improve hinterland access (especially for remote locations and LLCs)
Enhance competition between rail and road transport modes
Become a pole of attraction for new value added activities and industrial
development
Improve land use planning
Free up space at DSM port for dry and liquid bulk handling
The KFS will act as an Extended Gate of the port of Dar es Salaam for all containers
and cars destined or arriving from up-country and neighbouring country locations. This
implies that all clients of TPA will be obliged to collect or deliver their containers/cargo
for the above origins or destinations at the KFS. For cargo/containers originating from or
with destination Dar es Salaam city the KFS may be used by clients, however under
normal circumstances it would be more logical to transport directly to and from the port.
The logistics of transporting cargo to the KFS and then backtrack into the city would not
be efficient. This particular market segment will likely remain in the hands of ICDs or
will be covered by direct delivery (by truck) from the DSM port.
The functionality of the KFS will initially be limited to handling and storage of containers
and (passenger) cars. The KFS as such may have an economic effect of reducing the
functionality of ICDs in the city of Dar es Salaam for long haulage container flows .The
ICDs will however maintain their role as service providers to the freight forwarding
industry and support the reduction of long dwell times of containers in the port of DSM.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 6
Location of the Kisarawe Freight Station (KFS)
The Kisarawe North area still covers a wide area with possible locations for the freight
station. Based on the fact that cargo/containers between the hinterland and the freight
station will be mostly transported by truck, the ideal location would be close to the T1,
but at enough distance to reach relatively flat terrain and to avoid any obstruction by land
occupation (buildings, electricity poles, etc).
The (relatively) flattest area is located between the village of Tondoroni and the T1, along
the unpaved rural road that connects the T1 to Kisarawe village. The freight station could
be on either site of the rural road, some 3.5 km from the T1 (see Figure 0.2 on the next
page). The area is still somewhat hilly and would require significant earthworks to
achieve a level site to accommodate trains, wagons and the storage of containers and
cargo. Although a visual inspection has been performed, no thorough geotechnical
assessment has been made to determine the most ideal plot in the area. Google Earth
imagery was utilized to indicate possible locations for the freight station.
The KFS will serve as a terminus station for both TRL and TAZARA railways and is thus
connected to both railway systems. The TAZARA connection will also be used by the
dedicated shuttle line connecting the port and KFS.
The planned Industrial Zone of Kisarawe (6 km west of Kisarawe village) would need to
be connected to the KFS. The exact size of the location of this Zone is 279 ha (697 acre)
while its shape is narrow and lays on a hilly terrain making it unsuitable for freight station
operations.Preferably the Industrial Zone would ideally be constructed adjacent to the
KFS which will save construction cost and transport cost for industries occupying the
Industrial Zone. In Figure 0.3 on the next page, the KFS and the industrial zone are
indicated on a map of the area.

Cargo flow forecast
Based on the Extended Gate function of the KFS the container/cargo flow forecasts have
been dedicated to those container and car volumes that are expected to be delivered to or
originate from locations upcountry in Tanzania or in neighbouring countries (the LLCs).
Based on the Royal Haskoning Ports Master Plan (2008) initial forecasts were made. The
consultant has updated these basic forecasts with new estimates from TPA and from its
own sources.
Forecast of potential container volume through KFS
The forecast results for containers are presented in Table 0.1.

Logistics concept
The logistics concept of the planned KFS is a mixed concept of transport, handling and
storage of containers and vehicles as well as the processing of relevant documentation.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 9
The primary physical conditions of the KFS are:
Direct and unobstructed transport link to the DSM port terminals that handle
containers via a dedicated rail shuttle line. This railshuttle will operate on the
existing track on the TAZARA line from the port for the first few kilometres and
then use an extension of the line to the KFS.
Railway access to both railway networks in Tanzania. The KFS will function as a
terminus station for both the TAZARA and TRL railways and will tbhus be
connected to both rail networks. The connection to the TAZARA main line will
also be used by the shuttle trains (see above)
Free and undisturbed connection to the main roads to both Dar es Salaam and the
hinterland.
Ample space for handling and storage of containers and vehicles (rail service
centre, truck-trailer gates, yard routing, container stacking, vehicle parking)
Proper infrastructure conditions (stable soil composition, drainage, etc) to allow
heavy vehicles and equipment to be operated.
Available utilities (water, electricity, fuels).
The logistics package of the KFS should consist of a number of separate logistics
services:
Rail shuttle service Port DSM KFS.
Custom bonded storage and customs inspection facilities.
Handling and storage of all types of containers (incl. reefers).
Handling/storage of LCL cargo in (bonded) warehouses.
Handling and storage of cars and small vehicles.
Customs clearing
The new KFS would first of all need a license from TRA to operate as a bonded Port
Area for the long term in view of the investments to be made and the length of the KFS
concession. The license should be automatically renewed upon payment of the license
fee.
Financial feasibility

are presented in Error! Reference source not found. on the next page.

The investment costs consist of rail infrastructure (shuttle railway connections to the main
railway lines including bridges/tunnels), road constructions (excluding industrial zone
road) and KFS infrastructure (earthworks, pavements, rail sidings, buildings, gates,
fences, etc). These capital costs of the basic infrastructure come at USD 183.2 million in
total. The investment costs in handling equipment come at USD 43.2 million over the
entire concession period. The total operational costs for the concession period (2014
2035) sum up to USD 1117.7 million. Most of these costs (USD 1028.1 million) are the
operational costs of the rail shuttles; the remainder is labour, maintenance and operational
costs of the cargo handling equipment.
The project feasibility is calculated as follows:
1. The cost based fees (user costs) for rail shuttle transport, cargo handling and
wharfage are calculated.
2. A margin is added to these fees to reach the desired RoE and IRR of the project.
3. The resulting total integrated fee is compared with the integrated fee structure of
the ICDs.
The project feasibility study results in the following fees:
Wharfage fee (covering terminal site infrastructure and road and rail access):
USD 16.25 per TEU or car.
Shuttle train transport fee (covering transport to and from the port): USD 72.67
per TEU and USD 95.63 TEU per car.
Handling fee (covering handling and storage of containers and cars at the
terminal site): USD 7.93 per TEU or car.
The 3 fee items add up to an integrated fee of USD 96.85 per TEU and USD 119.81 per
car. This is considered competitive with the average integrated fee per TEU of the ICDs
reportedly quoted as USD 125.
This competitive level will facilitate TPA to set the rule that all containers and/or cars
from/to up-country and LLC countries are to be picked up or delivered at the KFS only.
Two project alternatives have been considered:
1. A shorter rail connection to the existing railways, which however results in much
higher capital expenditures due to the higher number of bridges and tunnels
required. The additional capital expenditures would be around USD 43.5 million
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 11
higher, resulting in the need to charge wharfage fee (USD 31.22 per TEU or car
compared to USD 16.25 in the base case situation).
2. A terminal handling system based on RTGs instead of reach stackers. An RTG
based system would require USD 51.9 million of additional investment in
equipment compared to the reach stacker based system. These additional costs
are not offset by the lower capex in terminal infrastructure (USD 19.5 million
less than in the reach stacker option) and the lower operational costs (USD 4.1
million less during the entire concession period). On balance, the total costs
during the concession period would work out USD 28.3 million higher for the
RTG option, resulting in the need to charge almost double the handling fee (USD
7.93 per TEU or car in the reach stacker option versus USD 15.86 per TEU or car
in the RTG option.
Financial feasibility sensitivity
A sensitivity analysis shows that the required integrated fee to cover 20% higher
investment costs is still below that of the ICDs. This is also the case for a scenario with
20% less cargo volume, but no longer in a scenario with 40% less cargo volume.
PPP Options
The Government of Tanzania has the following PPP model options:
1. Integrated Concession Model
2. Multiple Concessions Model
3. Private Operator Model
4. Private Integrator Model
This involves all green field concessions. Brownfield concessions that imply public
funding of the required assets is not considered in view of the limited funding resources
of the government.

Assuming the model of an integrated concession, it has to be decided upon who will act
as the contracting authority or whether there should be several contracting authorities.
Given that one contracting authority is to be considered for more efficient and effective
leads to the question of who should be the contracting authority (and infrastructure
owner/manager). For the purpose of the KFS it is recommended that TPA acts as the
contracting entity because:
1. It is the main beneficiary of a KFS
2. It is most competent on PPP
3. It has the strongest balance sheet allowing if t necessary to provide guarantees
and or other financial support
In addition to the concession contract it is recommended to include Service Level
Agreements (SLA) with respective executing agencies that are responsible for making
their infrastructure available. These SLAs should include agreements on:
Right of way
Schedules
Tariffs
Quality of Service
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 13
SLAs should be agreed upon by the concessionaire most notably with TAZARA and
RAHCO for the access rail infrastructure (including schedules and track access charges)
Consequently the project structure can be summarised as follows:
Figure 0.4 Project structure
Source: Consultant
Pre-Transaction Process
Specifically for the KFS the following specific actions are recommended next to the more
general steps as in indicated in the previous sections:
Agree on a Public Sector Agreement
Agree on a Financial Support Plan with the Development Partners
Design and implement Land Acquisition Strategy
Transaction Advisor
The transaction advisor is typically a consortium of professional consultants, from one or
more firms, who work collectively as a team. The transaction advisor contracts with the
institution through the lead firm. All other members of the consortium participate either
through sub contracts with the lead firm or via a joint venture arrangement.
To manage advisers successfully it is very important that the terms of reference are
clearly defined. In addition, time scales and basic fees should also be specified clearly up
front.
The process for retaining a transaction advisor includes the following steps:
1. Establish the bid evaluation panel and the bid secretariat;
2. Define the transaction advisor terms of reference;
3. Prepare the rest of the bid package;
4. Publish the advertisement, brief bidders, and respond to queries;
5. Receive and evaluate bids;
6. Finalise and sign contract.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 14
Conclusions
Of the two locations around Kisarawe, Kisarawe North was considered the best location
for the freight station due to its vicinity to the T1 and the terrain structure which, though
still far from flat, is much better geo-technically structured than any other location in
Kisarawe region (South or North). The planned industrial development area at Kisarawe
South is relatively unattractive from a logistical point of view as well as terrain structure
(narrowly shaped and hilly) point of view.
The Kisarawe North site offers ample space for development for both the freight station
and adjacent industrial activity. The weak points of the Kisarawe locations are their
relatively remote distance to the port and subsequently the rail infrastructure requirements
that include a rail crossing to link both TRL and TAZARA railway lines to the freight
station. On the positive side, a huge volume of road haulage of containers and cargo in
and through the city will be eliminated, reducing traffic congestion on main roads, road
accidents and air and noise pollution.
The KFS will be connected by road to the T1 (Morogoro Road) and by rail to both the
TRL and TAZARA lines (serving as a terminus station). A dedicated rail shuttle concept
is to be developed for the transport of containers and cars from the port to the KFS and
vice versa (using the link to the TAZARA rail line.
The financial feasibility of KFS can be reached at an integrated fee structure that is below
the fees charged by the existing ICDs. This assumes development by a private operator
with private funds.
It would be logical if the rail infrastructure will be developed and paid for by the railway
authorities. Since both railway line systems need to be connected to the KFS, a joint
vehicle may be established to design, plan and invest in the railway infrastructure for the
shuttle service. Part of the wharfage fee may be allocated to this investment (and the
maintenance costs). The rail shuttle service is recommended to be conceded to a third
party on the basis of a Service Level Agreement. This third party consists preferably of
private party that may lease rolling stock and staff from either railway operator (TRL or
TAZARA).
Recommendations
Based on the above conclusions the consultants recommend to:
1. Start and proceed with investigations (cadastral survey) on land ownership at
Kisarawe North to define the exact plot. At the same time District and Ward
boundaries should be analysed as it may occur that (parts of) the plot are under
Kibaha District.
2. Investigate further the geo-technical features of the site and the potential bottlenecks
for development of the area. This should be done for the areas between the TAZARA
and TRL line and for the area just North of the TRL line (near Tondoroni).
3. Execute an economic feasibility study to assess the wider economic effects of the
KFS in view of securing loans from financial institutions.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 15
4. Review the rail shuttle track routing options in more detail in view of local terrain
conditions and track construction cost
5. Review the rail shuttle operations in more detail by assessing the port handling
platforms and rail operations (including the TICTS and berth 13/14 developments).
6. Agree on a Public Sector Agreement
7. Agree on a Financial Support Plan with the Development Partners
8. Design and implement Land Acquisition Strategy
9. Assess the affordability to TPA of proposed PPP options
10. Prepare the necessary legal and institutional concession framework for PPP after a
full economic feasibility study has been undertaken.

1 Introduction
The underlying report is the Draft Final Report of the Pre-feasibility study, review of PPP
options and optimum option for establishment of the Kisarawe Freight Station.
The government of Tanzania, through the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA), has identified
an area of land at Kisarawe which may be acquired and owned by TPA for the
development of an Extended Port Gate to be called Kisarawe Freight Station. This
study is intended to explore the feasibility of developing such a freight station and
connecting facilities to the Port (through railway lines and roads) through Public Private
Partnership (PPP) arrangements.
This report has incorporated the comments of TPA and the World Bank released to the
Consultant during the months of March, April and October 2010. A number of issues
were raised and discussed and revision has been made to the study.
Objectives of the Kisarawe Freight Station
The objective of the Kisarawe Freight Station (KFS) are to create an extended gate of the
port of Dar es Salaam in the form of a freight station that will help relieve the city and
port of Dar es Salaam of congestion. More in particular, the objectives are as follows:
Increase DSM port capacity
Increase DSM port productivity
Reduce congestion at ship-shore interface
Reduce city congestion
Lower environmental impact
Improve asset utilisation for port, road and rail transport service providers
Improve transport productivity and intermodal capacity
Reduce transport cost
Improve Hinterland access (remote location and LLCs)
Enhance competition between rail and road transport modes
Become a pole of attraction for new value added industries and industrial
development
Improve land use planning
Free up space at DSM port for dry and liquid bulk handling

Scope of work
The ToR outlines the scope of work for this assignment to include the following items:
Review of existing ICDs;
Review of the existing logistic chain and recommending improvements through a
freight station;
Customs clearance and security;
Preliminary Design and Cost Estimate ;
Review of the DSM port Import/Export Freight Characteristics;
Preliminary tariff study: pricing strategy and tariff risk analysis;
PPP arrangements and regulations;
Financial viability of the project;
Drafting Terms of Reference for the Transaction Advisor;
Stakeholder participation.
National developments
The Port of Dar es Salaam has substantially recovered in 2010 from the lower volumes in
2008 and 2009 which resulted from the world recession. .
Port development
TPA has acquired land for expansion of port capacity in Dar es Salaam, Bagamoyo,
Tanga and Mtwara to address the challenges of increasing cargo traffic volume and
container congestion. A new project to be undertaken by TPA includes the construction
of a new port at Bagamoyo; this port will however not need to be operational prior to
2018 (depending on growth). Furthermore plans are set for the establishment of more ship
docks at Mwambani as well as in Tanga region. All plans are aimed at meeting the
increased demand for port capacity, improvement of handling service rates and
accommodating future growth.
Industrial development
During the presentation of the first version of the Draft Final Report by the Consultant on
February 19, 2010 in Bagamoyo, the stakeholders requested a renewed focus on the area
of Kisarawe. The driving force behind this focus is the importance of space in the
Kisarawe area to create sufficient capacity to develop industries around or in the vicinity
of the freight station. Another argument was the possibility of extension of the freight
station to accommodate the demand of container (and car) flows adequately in case
volumes would grow substantially.
1.1 Selection of freight station location
The site selection study for a new freight station has initially focused on the medium term
development of the supply chain of containerized goods to and from Tanzania. In the
Inception phase it became clear that also long term aspects should be reviewed. The
consultant has therefore taken a long-term perspective in an alternative scenario.
It is quite possible that both medium and long-term transport objectives for Tanzania can
only be met by a phased and coordinated development of more than one freight station.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 27
With a growing economy more than one additional freight station may be economically
feasible.
The consultants have focused on the immediate needs of the port and the city of Dar es
Salaam from a logistics point of view to which the KFS is a solution that can serve the
trading industry at relatively short term. The problems of port and road congestion within
the city of Dar es Salaam as well as storage and handling capacity are existing today, and
solutions need to be implemented without further delay.
1.2 Site selection at Kisarawe
Various stretches in the Kisarawe region have been observed and analysed by consultants
to assess their suitability for a multi-cargo freight station complying with multi-modal
connectivity requirements. The consultants have visited and scanned the entire area of
Kisarawe, from the village of Kisarawe (south of the TRL railway line) up to Kisarawe
North (ending at South of T1, Morogoro Road, west of Kibaha).
Kisarawe South
A first option for the KFS was presented by the Executive Administration of the
Kisarawe District that have nominated an area for industrial development in Kisarawe
South , e.g. 6 km north-west of the village of Kisarawe, south of the TRL railway line.
The area covers some 279 hectare (697 acres).
This zone is however considered not ideal in view of its narrow shape and its undulating
terrain. The zone is furthermore currently not well connected to the T1 (Morogoro Road).
The area structure in Kisarawe South is generally hilly with lots of vegetation and
construction costs to prepare a sufficiently large flat plot for the freight station would be
high.
Kisarawe North
Moving north to the T1, the structure of the land becomes flatter some kilometres north of
the TRL line, starting at the village of Tondoroni/Mkurunge. This rather large area is
unpopulated and the consultant has assumed that there are no physical limitations to the
required size of the plot. The plot to be selected should be developed based on high
forecast estimates of freight movement in order to allow an optimal terminal design that
will keep operations most efficient and operating costs as low as possible.
The consultants have not reviewed the option of a possible plot in between the railway
lines of TRL and TAZARA since this area was neither preferred by the consultants nor by
TPA/WB. It is recommended to assess the viability of this area in view of infrastructure
development cost against the benefits of a shorter access to both railway lines.
It was reported by the Kisarawe District Management that not all land at the East side of
the Kisarawe village-A7 road is available, as it is either occupied by the Army or
registered as private property. The consultants have not been informed which particular
plots could be made available and have not analysed the legal issues of the KFS in further
detail. A cadastrial survey is required to identify plot ownership and districtoral authority.

1.3 Freight station functions
The KFS will act as an Extended Gate of the port of Dar es Salaam for all containers
and cars destined or arriving from up-country and neighbouring country locations. This
implies that all clients of TPA will be obliged to collect or deliver their containers/cargo
for the above origins or destinations at the KFS. For cargo/containers originating from or
with destination Dar es Salaam city the KFS may be used by clients, however under
normal circumstances it would be more logical to transport directly to and from the port.
The logistics of transporting cargo to the KFS and then backtrack into the city would not
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 29
be efficient. This particular market segment will likely remain in the hands of ICDs or
will be covered by direct delivery (by truck) from the DSM port.
The functionality of the KFS will initially be limited to handling and storage of containers
and (passenger) cars. The KFS as such may have an economic effect of reducing the
functionality of ICDs in the city of Dar es Salaam for long haulage container flows .The
ICDs will however maintain their role as service providers to the freight forwarding
industry and support the reduction of long dwell times of containers in the port of DSM.
Furthermore the handling and storage of LCL cargo (less than container loads) could be
allowed at the KFS, which requires the construction of collection and distribution sheds.
The Consultant is of the opinion that container consolidation facilities should only be
allowed at the KFS in case enough space is available and in case these activities will not
disturb the core activities of the KFS, being the handling of trains, rail wagons,
containers, cars and truck/trailers. In the case the KFS at any time operates at (near) full
capacity,the KFS territory may be expanded to accommodate value added logistic
services. It is estimated that the container consolidation in the first phase of the
development stage can easily be accommodated at the KFS based on a planned size of
100 ha. These value added logistics may however very well take place at the new
Industrial Zone which will need to have Customs clearing facilities (bonded warehousing
and open storage areas). While this option is perhaps preferred by traders and producers
of commodities, it will raise transport cost slightly as a result of moving goods between
Industrial Zone and KFS. This effect is considered insignificant in the total supply chain
cost assessment.
The handling and storage of other cargo types at the freight station, such as dry or liquid
bulk and general cargo, is not considered wise primarily due to the low value of (bulk)
commodities and the relatively low volumes. It is obvious that re-handling of bulk and
general cargo in an inland freight station at short distance from the DSM port should be
avoided.
1.4 Origin-destination patterns of cargo flows
During the early stages of the study the Consultant has analyzed the O-D patterns by
using port statistics and by conducting interviews with shipping agents and freight
forwarders. While the international O-D patterns are clearly recorded through port
statistics, the national (e.g. domestic) O-D pattern is not. The Consultant has tried to
obtain these statistics from the TRA (Tanzania Revenue Authority) office, who advised
that the domestic O-D patterns are not recorded.
After discussion with TPA in May 2010, a further study to the O-D data on ships
manifests and/or bills of lading was not judged sensible since the data to be collected
would not be reliable, even if a large sample of these documents would have been
screened. The reason is that listed addresses of receivers or senders of cargo on any of the
available documents may prove not to be the physical (cargo pick/up or delivery) address,
but the office address of the receivers or senders. The consultants have therefore kept
their original estimates as collected in the Draft Final Report of the study. Instead, a
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 30
sensitivity on the KFS volume has been done, reflecting for instance a shift in the balance
of cargo flows with O-D in the Dar es Salaam area and O-D up-country to show the effect
of shifts between these two categories on the financial feasibility of the KFS.
It is recommended to design a data base system that discloses the origin-destination
pattern of cargo through the port of DSM. There are various sources of data that can be
collected regularly from parties involved in local or international overland transport. The
best source of information may come from Freight Forwarders. The Freight Forwarders
Association however does not cover all Freight forwarding companies. Yearly
questionnaires may be issued under forwarders to obtain a reliable insight in cargo
moving from/to Dar es Salaam and up country destinations/origins.

2 Kisarawe Freight Station (KFS)
2.1 Initial study for viable freight station locations
Identification of possible sites
The consultant has undertaken several field trips during the course of the project to
identify potential locations for the freight station. The project team has discussed the
possible locations with several stakeholders and by opinion sampling of the team, after
carefully studying the maps of the Dar es Salaam region, the railway tracks, marshalling
yards, land occupancy and access roads. This has been done based on desk research of the
existing infrastructure, know-how of the local consultant and an inspection of the local
situation. Moreover, a number of site visits have been made and data has been collected
on the available areas of land and provision and condition of infrastructure, connectivity
to road and rail, and social/environmental aspects.
This has resulted in eight potential sites for the freight station:
Kiwalani;
Yombo;
Tabata;
Pugu North;
Pugu South;
Kisarawe South;
Kisarawe North;
Ubungo.
Figure 2.1 (next page) presents the location of all 8 identified areas for the establishment
of the freight station and shows the proposed new ring road for DSM. The alignment of
the new ring road is tentative.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 32
Figure 2.1 Geographical overview of potential locations
2.2 Long term options
Reduction of port and city congestion
The terms of reference for the study, and the comments to the Inception Report by TPA,
state that the primary objective of the creation of the freight station is not only reducing
port congestion not but also reducing congestion on city roads. Furthermore the ToR for
the Dar Port Rail Action Plan states that the main objective of the Dar Port Rail Action
Plan will be to submit a proposal for an appropriate solution to overcome the bottlenecks
in the port-railways interface in Dar Port.
During interviews with TPA it was stated that poor performance of the railway sector is
the biggest constraint to increasing capacity at the container terminal. All domestic
containers and nearly all transit containers are currently moved in and out of the port by
road, causing congestion in both the port area and elsewhere the city. The inability to
move import containers away from the quayside quickly and efficiently affects the
performance of the gantry cranes, which in turn affects the capacity of the port by
increasing ship turnaround times. The problem has been partly alleviated by the
establishment of a series of privately operated ICDs in the Dar es Salaam area, generally
10 to 15 km from the port. Import containers are moved there by road haulage. This has
assisted in providing more space in the port, but has not solved the city road congestion
problem, and has not reduced the number of trucks entering the port to load and unload.
The operation is inefficient and adds to the logistics cost of Dar Es Salaam Port. Truck
operators report that they can most often only complete one trip per day between the port
and the ICDs or other local destinations, and that the delivery costs are between US$ 150
and US$ 185 per delivery.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 33
The upgrading of Nelson Mandela Road and the planned new Dar es Salaam ring road are
intended to divert the port freight traffic around the city centre, but port access by road
and congestion of trucks within the port will remain a problem.
The concept of a remote freight station, with a dedicated rail shuttle link to the port,
would satisfy the freight forwarding sector if it can be demonstrated that the rail shuttle
service and KFS provides equal or better cost/benefit ration than routing containers and
cargo through existing ICDs. In that case forwarders would not object to use the KFS and
would eventually not disagree to an obligation to route upcountry and LLC cargo
exclusively through the KFS.
.
Industrial developments
The development of a freight station should also provide a long term solution, in which
enough land would be made available around the freight station for the development of
industries that would logistically benefit from the freight station. The freight station
would thus promote the development of a new industrial zone.
The two objectives, focusing on improved transport logistics and industrial development
respectively, require a long term development location for a freight station further away
from the city centre, ideally close to the main transit route (T1), such as at the Kisarawe
North (or Kibaha district) area close to the Morogoro Road. This site would also be
favorably located to cater for the proposed new port development at Bagamoyo, as in the
longer run the freight station could serve both ports. The exact site location would also be
influenced by the railway.
Kisarawe Industrial Zone
During the study the consultants have visited the Executive Management of the District
Council of Kisarawe. The council is responsible for the Region of DSM which includes 4
districts with Wards. The Council has drafted a plan for an Industrial Development Zone
of 279 ha (697 acres) located 6 km from Kisarawe. The design is a narrow but long piece
of land which would be unfit for establishing a freight station. The location of the planned
industrial zone is west of Kisarawe - Kiruvya road and south of the TRL railway line. To
the west is the Ruvu Forest Reserve (see combined area map, Figure 2.2).

Figure 2.2 Geographical view of the planned Industrial Zone, the proposed KFS and rail shuttle connection
2.3 Kisarawe Study Area
The boundaries of the Kisarawe area under investigation are defined by the TAZARA
railway line in the South, the T1 (Morogoro Road) in the North, the Western boundary of
the Industrial Zone of the Kisarawe District and to the East by a fictitious line drawn from
the village of Kisarawe straight northbound. The eastern border includes an area of 2 km
east of the rural road from Kisarawe village to junction with the A7 (see Figure 2.2). The
total area covers roughly 16 x 5 = 80 km
2
.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 35
The entire area has been visually inspected by the Consultant but no specific site analysis
has been made in view of the large size of the area. For railway line design purposes,
Google Earth imagery was utilised. The railway line routing will need to be re-assessed
following route surveys carried out as part of the Feasibilty or Design stage of the project.
Option 1: Kisarawe South
A potential KFS plot could have been defined at the Industrial Zone at Kisarawe as,
defined by the Executive Management of the District of Kisarawe. The industrial zone is
spacious enough (250 ha) but unsuitable for freight station operations for a variety of
reasons. Firstly the shape of the zone is very narrow and would not easily facilitate
typical freight station operations with two rail way lines and a major transit road
connected. Secondly, and more relevant: the terrain structure is, though vacant of
buildings and economic activities, heavily dented and inhabited mainly by forest. These
natural limitations require massive earth works to flatten the terrain, which would drive
up investment costs. The exact earth works costs can only be assessed if the exact
location is known.
For both potential sites in the Southern area, analysis is made to the impact of transport
cost based on infrastructure investment cost and the length of both KFS rail and road
connection to the main trunk lines of TRL, TAZARA and the A7.
Option 2. Kisarawe North
The area North of Tondoroni (see pictures in Figure 2.3 and Figure 2.4) is much flatter
and more suitable to establish a freight station, which would preferably be square.
Furthermore, the T1 (Morogoro Road) is close which will reduce access road construction
cost. The area has sufficient space for both a freight station and additional space for
industrial zone development in case the planned District Industrial Zone (west of
Kisarawe village) will not be developed or appears to be insufficient in the long term. The
area around Kisarawe North is sparsely populated. The ideal location is some 3.5 km
south from the T1, adjacent to the rural Road Tondoroni-Kibwegere in the Kibaha
district. A negative element is the larger distance by rail (both shuttle/TAZARA line and
the TRL connection) from KFS to trunk rail lines. The rail shuttle line is some 6 km
longer than in the location options closer to Kisarawe village. This implies that shuttle
trains take some 20 minutes time to cover the transit between port and KFS. Also railway
construction cost are higher.
The longer loop on the TRL line from KFS to main Gongolamboto junction) means a
higher infrastructure investment. This extension is only used for up-country and LLC
transport by rail which is at minimum 200 km but more often over 1000 km away from
the KFS. The relative impact on transport cost of the additional 17 km to connect to the
KFS is therefore negligible.
It may very well be the case that the selected site is not located in the Kisarawe District
but in Kibaha District. The Consultant has not been able to verify the district borders in
this area. Further investigation to governance of land plots is required.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 36
Figure 2.3 Area picture West of Tondoroni 1
Figure 2.4 Area picture West of Tondoroni 2
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 37
Recently the consultants have learned that the East side of the rural road Tondoroni-
Kibwegere is allegedly military area, although it was also indicated that a cement factory
is established there (on a plot of 44 ha). This information was so far not officially
confirmed so consultants considered options for KFS sites at both the East and West side
of the rural road.
Subsequently a fictional plot has been identified which appears relatively flat and
unoccupied (see above pictures of Tondoroni area, Figure 2.3 and Figure 2.4). Based on a
visual inspection of the area in the pictures, calculations were made to assess the
investment costs in the KFS and connecting transport links.
Although the selected site appears to be the flattest available in the entire area, there is
nevertheless a 16 m level variation over the site, which still means it will require
substantial cut and fill. It is estimated that this will be close to 2 million m
3
. Figure 2.5
shows the proposed locations on either side of the rural road between the A7 and
Kisarawe village.
Figure 2.5 Schematic layout of KFS location and rail shuttle service lines
2.4 Social impact and resettlement compensation
The development of freight station may have social effects to the population of greater
Dar es Salaam. In all of the pre-selected sites residential areas and/or economic activities
were observed. The establishment of a freight station will imply the relocation of these
structures (houses, shops, workshops, factories, etc). Any eventual resettlement is
inevitable due to the vicinity of the locations to the city of Dar es Salaam.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 38
Social environment of railway infrastructure
The social impact of cargo (and passenger) transport already affects the centre of the city:
the existing TRL rail link is located right through the heart of the city and many dwellers
have settled adjacent to the railway line and the railway line is used as passage to and
from the city by pedestrians.
With a train frequency of a few (TRL) trains per day at present this situation is already
undesired from a point of safety. The possible utilization of the TRL line from the port of
DSM for a high frequency rail shuttle service would be increasing the risk of rail traffic
accidents. The dwellers (likely all illegal in view of railway right of way) along the line
would need to be relocated.
Fortunately, the TAZARA rail track is in a much better location as it bypasses the city
centre at the south side of the city. Nevertheless consultants have found many pedestrians
using the rail track frequently or its sidings for their own transport.
While scoring the selected sites for a freight station on social issues the relocation of
people and structure was assessed in a general way since no clear data of the exact
inhabitation of all area around sites could be collected. The eight sites were assessed as
described in the following sections.
Labour market issues
In Tanzania there is generally no shortage of labour. Job seekers will travel to any place
that is accessible by means of transport. An important issue is however the availability of
accommodation and utilities such as housing, water, and medical facilities. In principle all
potential plots close to the T1 are easily accessible via public transport but would require
dedicated transport services from the T1 to the KFS. This service may be served by
special bus operators at a cost.
Although the potential work force is large, the skills and knowledge of the potential
workforce are likely insufficient for the specific operations of the KFS. KFS staff needs
to be trained to achieve performance standards required to make the KFS a success. The
training of staff includes improvement of skills in handling certain complex equipment
(reach stackers, gantry cranes, tractor trains) and in organization and operations planning.
While some experienced staff may be transferred from TPA, TICTS or existing ICDs, it
is recommended to organize training programs and facilities prior starting KFS
operations.The training is best undertaken by the concessionaire of the KFS under a
selected PPP arrangement.
Compensation and Resettlement
With regards to resettlement of both legal and illegal inhabitants of an area, the relevant
law, regulations, acts, national and international standards are listed in Annex K and L.
When the general rules for compensation are applied, the market value for property
valuation of a structure will be in the region of TSH 250,000 to 400,000 or USD 190 to
300 per m
2
. These estimates are provided by the DSM City council based on an average
sized house normally found in the semi-urban setting.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 39
In terms of compensation, some experts are of the opinion that when compensation is
meant for Project Affected Persons that have encroached on government property, the
rules and process for compensation are less stringent and the actual land and property
estimates are not used. For valuation government the Land Law and regulations provide
adequate norms which are in the region of TSH 150,000 to 250,000 or USD 120 to 190
per m
2
. Other experts claim that Project Affected Persons that have encroached on
government property are not entitled to any compensation at all.
2.5 Environmental aspects
The environmental analysis considers both the construction and operational phases. The
KFS is located in a rural area with scattered housing and buildings. Although no statistics
are available on the density of the area in terms of utilized space, from visual inspection it
is clear that the area has few inhabitants or social and commercial activities. This reduces
the problem of resettlement of persons, functions and businesses if the KFS would be
constructed.
Construction phase
The construction phase includes rail and road infrastructure works, the clearing of the site
and construction of the KFS. The following environmental impacts can be expected:
Vegetation and habitat loss: The project will clear some trees shrubs and
vegetation cover to pave way for construction of the proposed KFS. This will
disturb the micro-organism of the area. The impact is short term and of low
significance.
Noise and vibration: The heavy machinery (caterpillars and tractors) used
during site clearance, compaction of land and earth works will lead to emissions
of noise and vibration. The accumulated effects from various sources of noise and
vibration can adversely affect the health and well being of workers, as well as
humans and fauna in the proximity of the site.
Dust emission: During clearing of the land, large quantities of top soil have to be
removed and be disposed at designated areas. Large quantities of sand quarry are
required for leveling and other earth works. The activities will generate dust and
debris hence increasing Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) in the air causing
discomfort to the workers and surrounding community.
Solid waste generation: The construction activities will generate solid wastes
such as metals, torn packing materials such as cement bags, plastics, woods, cans,
paper bags and glass.
Sewage disposal: During construction, vendors and migrant workers will flock to
the area surrounding the project site. The mushrooming vendoring activities in
unplanned area may result in sewage pollution with disease causing pathogens for
diarrhea, cholera, malaria etc.
Increased risk of traffic accidents: Transport of construction materials
including heavy equipment and removal of the excavated soil and debris will lead
to increased traffic and potential accidents on the already congested Mandela
Road and Nyerere Road. These roads already have high accident rates, especially
around TAZARA terminal.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 40
Air pollution: A part of dust emission, degradation of air quality will also be
caused by gaseous emission from diesel combustion during land clearing,
construction and transportation of building materials.
Public health impact: The influx of migrant workers, vendors and service
providers will increase the risk of communicable diseases such as cholera,
typhoid, TB, HIV/AIDS etc.
Operational phase
The following environmental impacts can be expected during the operational phase:
Air pollution: Emission standards approved by Tanzania Bureau of Standards
are adopted from EU approval standards. They are Euro I of 1992 and Euro III of
October 2000. Whereas the standards for passenger cars are measured in g/km,
for trucks they are defined by engine power measured in g/kWh.
Although the distance from the port to the intended KFS is relatively short, the
noxious gases from the diesel engines of the locomotives of the shuttle train will
contribute to the deterioration of air quality. The impact per hour of the operation
of a standard 2500 KW diesel engine is about 12.73g of noxious gases. Based on
a planned volume of 12 trains per day (forth and back) the total impact will be
152.76g of noxious gases (CO, HC, NO
X
and PM). The impact per hour of a
heavy duty diesel engine is 14.21 g of noxious gases and has higher smoke
emission of 0.8 in m
-1
compared to 0.1 in m
-1
for a shuttle train. The rail shuttle
service is expected to be at least 10 times less polluting than using trucks/trailers.
Table 2.1 and Table 2.2 show the emission limits for trucks and locomotives.

Workers should use protective gear such as dust protection muffles and water
spraying should be used during compaction and soil/sand transportation to avoid
dust generation. Trees and vegetation can be planted along the site boundary to
reduce the amount of CO
2
in the surrounding atmosphere.
Periodic measurement of engine emissions is required to ensure that they are
within emission limit for heavy duty diesel engines for the pollutants of CO,
HC,NO
X
, PM and smoke. Regular servicing and maintenance program for fuel
powered equipment will support limitation of hazardous air emissions.
Decrease in traffic accidents: The connecting roads of the KFS may get more
congested which may enhance the risk for traffic accidents when entering or
leaving the KFS. Since the volume of trucks will decrease gradually in favor of
container rail transport in future, the risk of road accidents may reduce.
The reduction of truck transport in the city and the short link by road from the
KFS to the A7 will have also a positive impact on the reduction of traffic
accidents. The effect will be even more positive when the planned ring road
becomes operational.
Both truck and KFS vehicles require competent and qualified drivers preferably
licensed by SUMATRA. Traffic rules should be installed for all access roads
including speed limits, lane separation (vehicles/staff/public), parking lots,
lighting, etc.
Construction and KFS equipment drivers should be trained and comply with
ergonomic and safe labour conditions including working time limits, training and
tests and knowledge of operational procedures.
A decent traffic circulation plan should be made to regulate traffic safely and
avoid traffic accidents. This includes installation of traffic signaling, road lane
separation, pedestrian paths, parking lots etc.
The fairly high frequency of trains on the shuttle line makes fencing along the
line necessary as civilians tend to use railway tracks as local roads.
Noise and vibration: Operation of the trucks, reach stackers, terminal tractors
and trains will increase the noise and vibration levels within the surrounding
community. This may affect productivity or become a nuisance to the public.
Where noise levels exceed the standards ample hearing protection needs to be
supplied to workers.
Noise levels need to be kept below the maximum level of 70 dB(A). The
construction activities should be preferably be carried during day time to
minimize discomfort to the public. The contractor should provide protective gear
and safety equipment to construction and KFS staff operators.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 42
Oil spill and grease: The project has several engines operating daily. Oil spills
and grease -if not properly managed - will drain into the storm water system and
endanger aquatic life. Servicing of HD diesel engines and other project vehicles
needs to be carried out at a work shop with oil separator.
The discharge from the service bay will drain into an oil/water separator where
the oil is recovered and ensure that the oil content of the waste water does not
exceed 20mg/liter (according to the environment guidelines of World Bank /
WHO.
Waste oil recovered from oil/water separator, used engine oils and sludge need to
be collected by authorized private waste oil collecting company registered by
NEMC in order to ensure compliance with regulations governing waste oil
disposal or recycling.
Hazardous cargo: Some containers may contain chemicals, fertilizer or other
hazardous materials. There is possible damage through accidental leakages or
liquids and toxic gases especially when contents are stored for longer periods.
Spills from such containers will pollute water bodies, soil and air, endangering
workers, public health and animals. Containers with hazardous material need to
be stored in confined areas with impermeable bottoms to prevent any pollution to
the soil and ground water.
Liquid waste: A separate drainage system should exist for storm water sanitary
waste and on site waste water. The storm water may drain into the public storm
water system whereas the sanitary waste should be collected into septic tanks for
disposal by municipal authorized companies. The site waste water should be
treated before draining into the public storm water system.
Solid waste: The contractor should sort solid waste by separating hazardous
waste from non-hazardous waste for appropriate disposal. This requires the
provision of adequate number of suitable solid waste containers.
The project will collaborate with the Temeke Municipal authority to ensure the
waste generated during excavation works is been disposed in designated areas by
the municipality. An area for solid waste collection should be designed.
Sewage disposal: The KFS should provide sanitary facilities for the staff and
visitors. Sewage should be drained into septic tanks to be disposed of by
municipal authorities.
General health and safety: Compliance is required to National Health and
Safety Standards as stipulated on Occupational Health and Safety Authority as
well as existing international standards. Training of all personnel in the use of
protective equipment and chemical handling is necessary. The Contractor should
employ as much as possible people from within the local community of the area
to minimize influx of migrant workers. In addition it should carry out awareness
training of communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Provision of round the
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 43
clock first aid services at the sites are to be managed by a qualified staff. The area
should have a properly laid fire hydrant system.
2.6 Customs clearing
Customs clearing at DSM port
Until April 2009 the port faced heavy congestion of containers (and ships). The average
dwell time for containers in the port of DSM has since been reduced significantly from
maximum 30 days to a level of 17 days (excluding volumes transported directly to ICDs).
A special dwell time reduction committee under the supervision of TPA and TRA has
been established between stakeholders to reduce the high dwell time. Part of the observed
reduction in the past year may have been caused by the economic downturn, which has
also caused the reduction in vessel waiting time from 3 to 10 days to virtually zero.
The Asecuda++ Customs clearing system introduced by TRA is operational but allegedly
not 7 days per week/24 hours per day. The pre-clearance of containers however is
increasing rapidly: now 80 % of the containers are pre-cleared via Asecuda++.
TRA still inspects some 40-50 % of all import (not transit) containers based on risk
assessment and plans to inspect containers directly upon discharge from ship in the near
future. This inspection rate is high compared to European standards. By applying a
bonus/malus system for frequent clearing by forwarders or traders, TRA should be able to
reduce inspection percentages significantly.
Recently the TRA has taken over the tasks of TISCAN as scanning operator. TRA has
one scanner in operation but ordered 2 more scanners to reduce scanning delays (to be
delivered soon). Theoretically, the scanner capacity is 25 containers per hour during 20
hrs per day. The establishment of the KFS would require more scanners to be located at
the KFS with capacity depending on container flow estimates.
Whereas the physical obstructions in the clearing process of containers are being
removed, the level of inspections is still high due to risk assessment policies at TRA.
ICD/freight station licensing
The new KFS will act as an extended gate to the port of DSM. This would logically imply
that the status of the port as Customs Bonded Area will be extended to the KFS. The Port
Law may however restrict this and the TRA may consider the KFS as just a special ICD
(which it is in fact too).
There are presently two regulations in force according to East African Customs
Management Act of 2004. Therein, section 12 deals with the licensing rules (see Annex
M). The regulations distinguish between two types:
ICD, meant for import of goods;
Freight station, meant for export of goods.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 44
Both licenses are to be obtained for 1 year and can be renewed for 1 year. At present
some 12 companies have licenses. The rules include a number of financial, structural and
operational rules. Main financial criteria in the rules are that the applying ICD firm needs
to put up a security bond (not a bank guarantee) of at least TSH 800 mln (or 400,000) as
coverage for taxes and duties on of non-cleared goods. Structural criteria include the
ownership of land (state) or a minimum lease of 33 years, a minimum size of of 4 ha for
an ICD and 1 ha for a freight station.
Operational requirements include the utilization of at least 2 owned reach stackers,
sufficient fencing, security, parking space and transit sheds, as well as a customs shed
(minimum 300 m
2
). A logistics requirement is stipulating that the distance from the port
should not exceed 10 km to minimize transport cost.
License structure
The KFS would need first of all a license to operate under Customs regulations for a long
term in view of the investments to be made and the length of the KFS concession
agreement. The license should be automatically renewed upon payment of the license fee.
Since the projected KFS is not a freight station in the sense of the Customs Act due to its
size, new provisions need to be drafted in the Act and regulations. The provisions should
include the operations of the KFS to be executed by third parties (concessionaire/service
provider).
Import clearing
The processing of customs clearance should not be different from that of the port of
DSM. Firstly the entire KFS needs to be declared as Customs Bonded area in order to
freely move goods from rail terminals to stack and to exit gates for truck/trailers.
Secondly it is vital that the container flow movement system at the KFS is directly
connected to that of the DSM port (at TPA terminals, TICTS and in future with the
system used at berths 13/14) in order to facilitate direct transfer by rail wagons of full
containers from port to the KFS. This would require uninterrupted full customs bonded
transport without physical inspection at the port.
Once containers arrive by rail at the KFS they may be stored (still under bond) in the
relevant stack for either on-carriage or may be stripped when more consignees are listed
on the container documents. This LCL cargo needs to be stored temporarily prior to be
distributed by van/truck to (nearby) destinations. These stripping operations need to be
done at a customs bonded location (either inside or outside the KFS). When handled
inside the KFS, the KFS management would install an automated warehouse inventory
control system that, subject to (occasional) Customs Authority inspection guarantees
duties are settled prior to departure of goods from the KFS to consignees.
Obviously the free movement of goods inside the KFS requires also a sound
checking/security system both in terms of entry of goods, vehicles and persons and of a
sound documentation system that guarantees that goods only leave the KFS when either
all import duties are paid or when transit permits are granted.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 45
Duty guarantee system
At present the customs clearing system is based on direct payment of dues and taxes on
clearance of goods. This should be changed in future to a system where clearance can be
done after goods have left the KFS in order to speed up logistics processes. This would
logically require a proper guarantee system whereby TRA is safeguarded that all dues and
taxes will be paid within a certain number of days. The application of such a delayed
payment system would require the KFS to be fully liable for any incorrect of insufficient
payment of dues and taxes when proven. The KFS needs in that case to provide sufficient
financial guarantees to TRA to cover any eventual short payments.
The level of the guarantees can be fixed according to the value of goods at the KFS. It
would be practically impossible to establish exact values as they fluctuate continuously
due to the entry and exit of goods. The TRA could apply a guarantee system that is based
on average values (and subsequently pre-calculated dues ad taxes, as is applicable in
Europe). It is clear that the present limits for guarantees in the law (see Annex M) are
insufficient due to the high volume of containers and goods moving through the KFS.
While the KFS maintains overall responsibility for any illegal clearance of containers or
goods from the KFS, the KFS should act under the Port Act regulations.
Physical conditions destined for TRA
According to the present ruling, any ICD/freight station needs to provide offices for
customs officers (minimum 5) and administration staff. It is important that the TRA
assesses the volume of consignments at the KFS and prepares a plan for its customs
clearance activities (administration, verification, inspection). By law the TRA will
provide customs staff and the clearing system (Asecuda++).

3 Forecast of container and import cars volume
This chapter presents the forecast volumes of containers and cars through the KFS.
3.1 Methodology
Methodology for container volume
The forecast of the container volume for the KFS was made according to the following
methodology and steps:
1. Preparation: data on the past and existing volumes through the port of DSM
were collected, from TPA and TICTS. Most importantly this includes port and
trade statistics on container volumes, with a split in various subcategories:
Import, export and transshipment
Containers generated by the Tanzanian economy and containers in transit
to the landlocked countries (LLCs): Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DR
Congo, Zambia, Malawi.
20 units and 40 units
Loaded and empty containers
Standard containers and reefers.
The information from the statistics was complemented by a series of interviews
with stakeholders in the port, to get an understanding of past and future
developments and trends in container volumes through the port of DSM.
2. Forecast of the total volume of containers through the port of DSM. An
analysis has been made of the relation of container volume through the port of
DSM and the development of GDP as a major trade generating factor. A
distinction has been made in containers generated by the Tanzanian economy
(depending on GDP development in Tanzania) and those generated by the LLCs
(depending on the GDP developments in each LLC). The relation between GDP
and container volume development was subsequently used to forecast the future
volume of containers through the port of Dar es Salaam. A division has been
made in:
Import, export and transshipment flows, division based on recent
developments.
Transit imports and exports per LLC: for this purpose, an assessment of
future market share developments of DSM versus competing ports such
as Mombasa and Durban will be made. Transit imports and exports will
be grouped into those transported along the central corridor (North &
Westbound to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and DR Congo) and those
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 48
transported along the Southern corridor (Southbound to Zambia and
Malawi).
Empty versus loaded containers, division based on recent developments.
The forecast will be provided for the period 2010-2036, so that it covers the
operational period of the KFS (construction in 2012 and 2013, first year of
operations 2014 and end of the 25-year concession period in 2036).
3. Forecast of the potential volume of containers through the KFS. In this step,
the share of the total container volume through the port of Dar es Salaam that will
potentially use the KFS will be assessed. This share will basically consist of all
containers with origin/destination in the LLCs or further afield in Tanzania (i.e.
outside of the Dar es Salaam area).
A subdivision of this forecast will be made into:
Containers with origin/destination in the DSM area, elsewhere in
Tanzania, the central corridor LLCs and southern corridor LLCs. For
each of these divisions, the share that will potentially use the KFS will be
different.
20 versus 40 boxes by making assumptions on the development of the
TEU/box ratio.
Amount of reefer containers by making assumptions on the development
of the share of reefer containers.
Modal split by making assumptions on the use of road and rail on the
connection between port and KFS and between KFS and hinterland.
Figure 3.1 gives a schematic view of the division in different volumes that will be
considered in the forecast.

Methodology for vehicle import volume
The KFS is also considered to cater for import vehicles. The methodology for the volume
of import vehicles is as follows:
1. Preparation: data on the past and existing volumes through the port of DSM
were collected, from TPA and internet.
2. Forecast of the total volume of import vehicles through the port of DSM.
Here, the average growth rate of high and low scenarios as used in the Tanzania
Port Masterplan of 2008 is adopted.
3. Forecast of the potential volume of import vehicles through the KFS. In this
step, the share of the total import vehicles volume through the port of Dar es
Salaam that will potentially use the KFS will be assessed. This share will
basically consist of all vehicles with origin/destination in the LLCs or further up-
country in Tanzania.
3.2 Collection of existing data
The starting point of the forecast exercise is a time series of container throughput
volumes of the port of Dar es Salaam. These are available from TPA for the years 1992 to
2009.
Container volume port of Dar es Salaam 1992-2009
Based on the abovementioned source, a time series was constructed for the years 1992 to
2009. Table 3.1 on the next page gives the container volume through the port of Dar es
Salaam for the years 1992 to 2009, divided in subcategories. Figure 3.2 gives the
development of the major subcategories Tanzanian imports and exports, transit imports
and exports and transhipment.

Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 51
Table 3.1 and Figure 3.2 show that the annual volume of containers has increased
significantly, with a decline in 2009 due to the worldwide economic crisis. Table 3.2
shows annual average growth figures for the different categories and periods.
Table 3.2 Average annual growth rates 92-08, 92-00 and 01-08

Empties 15% 15% 16%
Total 10% 6% 15%
Transhipment 32% 31% 17%
Total Dar es Salaam 10% 5% 15%
It is clear that the total volume grew much faster in the years 2001-2008 than in the years
1992 to 2000. It is also interesting to note that the transit imports have grown at a very
high rate in the period 2001-2008 and that the export of empties has constantly grown.
Transshipment volumes have increased as well, but growth has come to a standstill or
rather decline in recent years, presumably under the pressure of lacking capacity at Dar es
Salaam container terminal. From the interviews it is known that transshipment
predominantly concerns transshipment to the smaller Tanzanian coastal ports and to the
islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia.
Base year for the forecasts
The year 2009 will be taken as the base year for the forecasts. The advantage of taking
2009 as the base year is that it may be assumed to form the lowest point of the economic
crisis, thus incorporating the effect of the economic crisis into the base year. From 2010
onwards, the economy and container volumes may be expected to recover again. The total
volume of 2009 is 357,000 TEU, which is almost 10% below the volume of 2008.
3.3 The development of container volume
The main factors impacting the volume of container transport are the development of:
the level of economic activity;
the degree of containerisation;
the linkage to global supply chains.
The level of economic activity
The level of economic activity is expressed by GDP and may be broken down by
economic sector, by specific industry and in the case of large countries also by region.
This study uses the GDP developments of Tanzania and of the landlocked countries
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 52
(LLCs) using the port of Dar es Salaam: Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, DR Congo, Zambia
and Malawi. GDP development figures as provided by IMF are used to compile a data
series from 1992 to 2009 for these countries, see Error! Reference source not found..
Figure 3.3 shows an indexed development of the GDP of Tanzania and the LLCs, with
1992 set equal to 100.

The degree of containerisation
The degree of containerisation is important too and depends on the specifics of the various
commodities in combination with the volume that is traded. TPA statistics show that the share
of containerised volume in the total trade through the port of Dar es Salaam has in creased
from a low 36% in 1992 to 59% in 2008.
The linkage to global supply chains
Another factor driving the large growth in container volumes worldwide is the increased trend
of worldwide outsourcing. This especially resulted in large volumes of container trade
between industrialising nations and the developed countries. This factor is not of major
influence in East Africa.
3.4 The relation between container volume and GDP
The precise impact of the factors mentioned in section 3.3 cannot be assessed separately as
this would require a great amount of detailed data which is usually not available. A generally
applied approach by container market consultants such as Drewry Shipping Consultants and
Ocean Shipping Consultants is to establish a quantitative relationship between growth in
container throughput and GDP. The development of the ratio as experienced in the past is
analysed and compared with the development of the ratio found in comparable countries. On
this basis a forecast is made of the development of the ratio in the future.
Container-GDP ratio in this study
In this study, the container-GDP ratio for the Tanzanian container volume can be derived
from the volume of containers generated by the Tanzanian economy. Ideally, the development
of the total amount of containers generated by the economy of Tanzania would be taken as a
starting point, but data on the total volume is not available. However, as the port of Dar es
Salaam handles by far the largest share of the Tanzanian container volume (with very minor
shares going through the ports of Mtwara and Tanga, and Mombasa in Kenya), it is possible
to use the TPA statistics for Dar es Salaam as a proxy for the Tanzanian container volume.
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 55
The average annual growth of the volume of imports and exports of Tanzanian containers in
1992-2008 was 9.5%, whereas the average GDP growth was 5.2%. This implies that container
volume grew at a ratio of 1.84 compared to GDP. This factor, rounded to 1.8, will be used in
this forecast.
For the LLCs, the relation between container volume and GDP cannot be derived from TPA
statistics, as the port of Dar es Salaam is not the only point of entry for these countries. As the
trade and transport characteristics of these countries are quite similar, the ratio found for
Tanzania is assumed for the LLCs.
In the forecast, the ratio is assumed to stay at 1.8 until 2025 and then to go to 1.5 for the
period 2026-2036.
3.5 Forecast of container volume through the Port of Dar es Salaam
The volume of containers to go through the Port of Dar es Salaam is split up in 4 major
categories:
1. Tanzanian imports and exports, with a subdivision into containers generated in the
DSM area and containers generated elsewhere in Tanzania;
2. Transit imports and exports, containers generated in the LLCs with a subdivision in
containers generated north and west (Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo) and
containers generated south (Zambia, Malawi);
3. Empties import and export;
4. Transshipment.
Tanzanian imports and exports
The Tanzanian imports and exports of containers depend on the development of the
Tanzanian economy. As explained, a ratio of 1.8 compared to GDP growth is used to forecast
the total container volume generated by the Tanzanian economy. The division in imports and
exports in the port of DSM was around 70% versus 30% in the last decade, which is kept
constant in the forecast.
The division of volume over the DSM area and the rest of the country is set at 50%-50%. No
reliable data could be obtained to justify this ratio, therefore it was taken from interviews with
shipping agents and TICTS . Table 3.5 gives the forecast for the period 2014 to 2020 plus
target years 2025 and 2035.

total 281 316 350 388 430 476 528 812 1674
Transit imports and exports
The transit import and exports are divided into north and westbound transit (Uganda, Rwanda,
Burundi and DR Congo) and southbound transit (Zambia and Malawi). In rail terms, north
and west are serviced by TRL whereas south is serviced by TAZARA. It should be noted that
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 56
DR Congo transit containers should be divided into Great Lakes area (which would be under
north and westbound) and Copperbelt area (which would be under southbound), but that data
for this subdivision is lacking. Therefore, all DR Congo transit is included under north and
westbound.
For the north and westbound transit trades, the port of DSM competes with the port of
Mombasa in Kenya. Until 2007, DSM lost market share to Mombasa on all trades except
transit to DR Congo, mainly because of the congestion in DSM. However, in 2008 and 2009,
DSM has recaptured market share for Rwanda and Burundi. This may be due to the fact that
Mombasa increasingly experiences congestion too and it may also be due to the economic
crisis, which from late 2008 onwards caused a significant drop in container volumes which
helped relieve the congestion in the ports.
According to interviewees, cargo owners are willing to accept a slightly higher transport cost
(in the range of a few hundred USD per TEU depending on the destination) to avoid delays in
the port of DSM or Mombasa. Error! Reference source not found. shows the development
in market share for the years 2001-2009.

September 2009
In the forecast of future volumes, we assume that DSM will be able to maintain the status
quo, under the assumption that the congestion in the port of DSM compared to that in
Mombasa will be eased. We assume the following developments of market shares:
Uganda: a constant share of 1%.
Rwanda: a constant share of 45%.
Burundi: a constant share of 90%.
DR Congo: a constant share of 65%.
As no data are available for the total amount of containers generated by the economies of
these countries, we adopt a different approach: We assume the number of transit containers
for these countries through the port of DSM will grow equally to the growth of GDP in these
countries, multiplied by the ratio of 1.8. This implies keeping the market share of DSM
constant.
The division between imports and exports for all north and westbound transit trades was in
the last decade 82%-18%. It fluctuated around these averages, but not significantly. In the
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 57
forecast, a division of 80%-20% is adopted. Error! Reference source not found. gives the
forecast for the period 2014-2020 plus target years 2025 and 2035.

The southbound transit trades concern Zambia and Malawi. For Zambian trades, the port of
DSM competes with the port of Durban in South Africa. Especially the Copperbelt area in
Zambia (and DR Congo) receives about 80% of its traffic through Durban, the rest goes
through Dar es Salaam. The port of Durban offers the advantage of direct services by
mainline container vessels. The fact that most large mining companies have their offices in
the Johannesburg area and import a lot of their project cargo through South Africa is another
explanation for the position of the port of Durban on this trade. For the Zambian trades as a
whole, the market share of Dar es Salaam in 2006 was about 45%.
For the trades with Malawi, there is competition from the Mozambican ports of Nacala and
Beira, and to a lesser extent of Maputo and Durban. The market share of DSM in 2006 was
about 25%.
As information on the development of these market shares is lacking, the market shares of
DSM are kept at 45% in the Zambian trades and 25% in the Malawi trades in the forecast.
Similarly to the forecast o the north and westbound trades, there is no data are available for
the total amount of containers generated by the economies of these countries. Therefore it is
assumed that the number of transit containers for these countries through the port of DSM
will grow equally to the growth of GDP in these countries, multiplied by the ratio of 1.8. The
market share of DSM is kept constant.
The division between imports and exports for all southbound transit trades changed a division
of roughly 40%-60% in the nineties to about 55%-45% in the past 5 years. In the forecast, this
latter division is adopted. Error! Reference source not found. gives the forecast for the
period 2014-2020 plus target years.

Empty containers and transhipment
In 2009, empty container imports have come done to zero from about 15% of all imports in
the early nineties. In the forecast it is assumed that there will be no more imports of empty
containers. The export of empties has increased from about 35% in the early nineties to 60%-
65% in recent years. In the forecast, it is assumed that of all exports, 65% consists of empty
containers, both for Tanzanian and transit trades, gradually coming down to 50% in 2025
after which it stays constant.
Transhipment containers are not relevant for the KFS, but they do consume capacity in the
port of Dar es Salaam. Therefore transhipment is considered for comparison of expected
demand and capacity in the port. The port of DSM handles a certain share of transhipment,
mainly destined for ports on the islands of Zanzibar, Mafia, Pemba and smaller mainland
ports. In the early nineties, this was a negligible percentage, but in recent years transhipment
had grown to a high of 55% of the combined Tanzanian imports and exports, thereafter
coming down to 24% in 2008, presumably as it was driven elsewhere under pressure of the
congestion in the port. In the forecast, it is assumed that transhipment will be at 20% of the
combined Tanzanian imports and exports in 2010, gradually decreasing to 7.5% in 2035.

3.6 Forecast of container volume through the KFS
The KFS , as an extended gate to the port of DSM, will on;y be handling containers (and cars)
with origin or destination up-country Tanzania or LLC countries (transit). It is assumed that
the KFS will not be used for container cargo to/from the city of Dar es Salaam due to the
logistics cost of transporting containers from the port to the KFS and back again into the city.
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 59
This particular market segment will remain in the hands of ICDs or will be covered by direct
delivery (by truck) from the DSM port.
The total volume as presented in Error! Reference source not found. in the previous section
is considered to be the potential volume of the KFS, regardless of whether these containers
will be landed at the current terminals in DSM port or in future developments such as
Kurasini or Bagamoyo. As argued above, out of this potential volume, only the containers
with destination or origin upcountry Tanzania and transit to/from the LLCs will go through
the KFS. The containers bound for the DSM area will find their way to their final destinations
directly or through one of the existing ICDs, without using an intermediate storage location
such as provided by KFS.
In the forecast, the assumption is that all Tanzanian (non DSM area) imports and exports as
well as all transit import and exports to the LLCs, including all empty returns, will use the
KFS. It is also assumed that in the first year of operations (2014) 25% of this volume will be
realised, 50% in 2015, 75% in 2016 and finally 100% from 2017 onwards. These assumptions
lead to the following volumes for the KFS (see Error! Reference source not found. and
Error! Reference source not found.).

Ratio of TEUs versus boxes
Both TPA and TICTS give information about the ratio of TEUs versus boxes, which indicates
the number of 20 and 40 units in the total volume. This ratio has grown more or less steadily
from 1.11 in 1992 to 1.39 in 2008, indicating that the share of 40 boxes is increasing. It is
still rather low compared to for instance the Far East to Europe trade, where ratios of 1.6 to
1.7 are normal. In the forecast, the ratio is assumed to be 1.4 in 2010, gradually increasing to
1.5 by 2030, staying at that level afterwards. This leads to the following division in 20and
40 boxes (Error! Reference source not found.).

Share of reefer containers
From interviews it is known that the share of reefer containers is fairly low, about: 0.5%. This
corresponds to a percentage of 0.4% mentioned by TPA at the Parastatals Accountability
Conference in Dar es Salaam on 23-24 January 2009. In the forecast the share of reefers is
assumed to start at 0.5%, gradually reaching 1.0% by 2035. Error! Reference source not

Forecast of vehicle volume through the port of Dar es Salaam
Since no details are known on the imports of vehicles through the port of Dar es Salaam, the
growth rates applied in the forecast of the Tanzania Port Masterplan prepared by Royal
Haskoning in 2008 are adopted here. We apply the average growth rate of the high and low
growth scenarios of the Masterplan, which means 10.5% growth annually until 2018 and 9%
annually in the years thereafter. This Masterplan forecast is until 2028, but has been extended
to 2035 with equal growth rates for this study. The resulting forecast is given in Error!

Forecast of potential vehicle volume through KFS
As no information is available on the division of the import vehicle volume over DSM area,
the rest of Tanzania en the LLCs, a similar division is adopted as for containers. This leads to
the following potential volume of vehicles through KFS, where all import vehicles to the rest
of Tanzania (non DSM area) and the LLC are assumed to use the KFS. The division
passenger cars, pickups and vans versus trucks and buses is assumed to be 95% versus 5%
(see Error! Reference source not found.).

4 Technical design KFS
4.1 KFS lay out and infrastructure
The lay out of the KFS is proposed in Error! Reference source not found. (next page).
While the proposed layout requires only 67 ha, it is recommended to enlarge the initial stage
to 100 ha in order to accommodate value added services, such as container consolidation,
packing, labelling and other value added service industries. It must however be made clear to
operators that these activities may need to be removed in phase 2 when container volumes
have increased substantially. These activities may then be transferred to the (by then)
established Industrial Zone.
In view of the possible unavailability of land at the east side of the rural road Tondoroni-
Kibwegere, the lay out may be copied to the west side of the road. This would imply a
rerouting of the rural road.
The nature of the site will require significant earthworks. Detailed survey and computation
will dictate a suitable level for the surfacing so as to balance, as far as possible, the cut and
fill. Preliminary calculation shows such balance, accommodating the required rail grades, to
be possible.
To facilitate adequate drainage the terminal will be constructed with falls to the centre of the
container yard where a slot drain would be constructed. To cope with existing drainage canals
traversing the site it will be necessary to construct several box culverts, the main one being a
major culvert that bisects the site, flowing from west to east, which will also pick up the run-
off from the site.
The paving of the container yard will be segmental concrete block paving, on a foundation of
imported compacted crusher run. Roads will be constructed either in asphalt or also in
segmental block paving. The rail sidings will be constructed on a prepared formation of
imported crusher run using concrete sleepers, Pandrol fastenings and 45kg/metre rails. Sets of
points and crossings will be 1:9 sets on steel sleepers.
Buildings (gatehouse, administration building, staff facilities, etc) will be reinforced concrete
framed, or brick buildings under steel roofs.
Since the terminal is to be operated 24 hours per day, high mast lighting is to be provided
enabling an illumination level of at least 25 lux at ground level. This will also facilitate
security of the site.
The usual utilities will be provided: water, fire protection reticulation, sewerage, electrical
power supply and telecommunications.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 64
In order to comply with the ICD compliance rules, a 3 meter high perimeter fence is to be
provided. The fence will be constructed of concrete block masonry, topped by razor wire.

4.2 KFS functionality and operations
Provision is made to accommodate the following principal operations:
1. Container stack area;
2. Rail loading/offloading lines for both TAZARA and TRL lines;
3. Freight station sheds;
4. Import vehicle park;
5. Truck stop waiting area outside the terminal;
6. Access control gates to both container and vehicle terminals;
7. Offices and staff facilities;
8. Workshop for equipment maintenance.
Operational Options
Based on the volume forecast for containers the KFS terminal is designed to be operated with
reach stackers for vertical lifts and terminal tractors for horizontal transport of containers.
This selection of equipment is based on an expert opinion offered by Cargotec, and division
of Kalmar Industries. To provide optimum flexibility the import and export stacks (full
containers) are stacked in blocks two containers wide, three containers high. However,
consolidated container blocks and empty container stack area the blocks are four containers
wide, 5 containers high. Provision is made for reefer (refrigerated) containers.
In total, in accordance with the forecasted throughput, terminal ground slots (TGS) are
provided as indicated in Error! Reference source not found.. The calculations for the
number of TGS (and parking space for vehicles) is provided in Annex N.

The KFS should be manned with an organization capable of handling the requirements as a
result of the traffic flow forecasts. An indicative functional capacity scheme is presented in
Annex A. As an example, the KFS may be manned as indicated in the text below (based on
24 hour operation, 7 days per week, 365 days per annum operational service level).
Staffing Levels
Based upon the forecast traffic volumes, and associated handling equipment requirements, an
assessment of staffing levels required to man the FS has been made (Annex A) which resulted
in a staff of 466 persons excluding the Rail shuttle service. In this estimate the level is based
on a 24 hour operation, 7 days per week, 365 days per annum.
Container Terminal Management System
A Container Terminal Management System (CTMS) needs to be selected and installed by the
terminal operator. Numerous systems are available on the market. The CTMS should be based
on IT/internet technology for easy access by clients of the terminal and exchange of data files
through EDI messaging. It adopts a multi-tier hardware configuration for easy expansion of
the system as container volumes increase in the future. The system is required to be easy to
maintain and to be adaptable to future enhancements. The basic requirements of the CTMS
are:
The system should be designed to handle container yard movements;
The system will capture all inward containers from the gate entry and manage them
until they leave the container yard;
The system monitors the stock position by providing valuable information to the
management as well as for the container owners;
Most importantly the system should be capable of invoicing for lift-on, lift-off
containers, stored containers, shifting and on-off hire containers, and should perform
the following:
o Invoicing (support module);
o Container history records are maintained for reference;
o EDI Reporting;
o Customer connections for cargo consolidators/shipping lines;
o Graphical screen to display yard occupancy;
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 67
o Printing of container discharge list, container load list;
o Graphical screen to reserve yard space for containers expected to come to the
terminal over the next two weeks;
o Creation of import and export container details from Delivery Order and
Shipping Order brought to the terminal by forwarding agents;
o Updating of customs release status for import and export containers;
o Capturing of entry and exit of containers at the gate and printing of EIR at
exit with inspection details of container;
o Computation of charges for shipping agents and forwarding agents and
printing of bills for these customers;
o EDI of standard terminal departure reports to shipping agents;
o Printing of operational performance reports for review by container terminal
managers.
An estimate to provide the software and services for a Container Terminal Management
System is between USD 710,000 to USD 1,420,000, depending on the level of sophistication
of the operations and the amount of customisation required. The price was sourced from
Portek IT & Automation Pte Ltd, of Singapore.
KFS Security
The gatehouse is the focal point of site security. The gatehouse is to be built with access to the
roof for security personnel. All vehicles must report to security staff upon entry and exit from
the depot. Security staff should sit at side windows of the gatehouse at a height sufficient to
be able to see inside the cabs of all vehicles and to receive documents from drivers without
the need for them to alight from their cabs. Security staff on the ground floor can check
container seals and loads while, if necessary, roof access can allow checking of containers for
damage on top of loads which would otherwise be out of sight. The security guard at the
reporting window should control moving barriers outside the gatehouse, allowing traffic to
proceed in and out of the depot when the documentation has been verified. All vehicles
entering or leaving the site must have a relevant permit authorized by a designated authority
in the administration. Security staff must be empowered to search and examine all people and
vehicles leaving the site, even if this power is exercised only in random fashion. Such control
will minimize the possibility of revenue loss to customs and importers. Full personnel
facilities will be provided in the gatehouse.
The perimeter fencing will comply with the standards set by the authorities, comprising a 3 m
concrete wall topped by razor wire. All gates will match this standard of height, and will be
secured against all unauthorized access. Lighting levels required for night-time operations
will exceed illumination levels required to meet the lighting standards required by the
authorities. Security staff will be positioned in the KFS during operational hours so as to carry
out random checks on cargo loading and to prevent pilferage. Such staff will also be
responsible for securing the KFS when it is not in use and for patrolling the site perimeter.

4.3 KFS Terminal Handling System
In considering the optimum KFS terminal handling system it would be necessary to undertake
a simulation study of the various handling equipment types, and on the basis of these
simulations to undertake a detailed costing of each type, and finally to perform a Multi-
Criteria Decision Analysis, which takes into account all factors which would affect the
ultimate suitability. Such a study would evaluate the following types of handling equipment.
Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG);
Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG);
Straddle Carrier (and bath-tub hauler);
Reach Stacker (and terminal hauler);
Fork-lift Truck (and terminal hauler).
In this study two options are considered:
1. Reach stackers (in combination with terminal haulers);
2. RTGs (in combination with RMGs at the rail yard and terminal haulers).
The main differences are in the requirement of land: the reach stacker option requires 61.5 ha
of land (as reach stackers need more manoeuvring space) and the RTG option requires 51.7
ha of land. In terms of costs, reach stacker option requires a 20 million USD higher
investment in basic infrastructure (in land) compared to the RTG option. However, the
investment in equipment in the RTG option is 50 million USD higher compared to the reach
stacker option. The operational costs of the RTG option are about 4 million USD lower
during the entire concession period. For more information on the financial aspects of both
options, please see Chapter 6.
For the KFS it is considered that the most appropriate handling system would be the reach
stacker combination. This choice was based on the anticipated throughput of the freight
station, being just over 750,000 TEUs/annum within the first 10 years, doubling only to just
under 1.6 million in 20 years. It is the consultants experience in world ports that for
terminals, handling less than 1.5 million TEUs/annum, suit the individual lifting device
(straddle carrier, reach stacker, fork-lift) unless space constraints dictate otherwise. The
financial comparison of the reach stacker and RTG options results in a support for the choice
for the reach stacker option too.
Another aspect to be taken into consideration is that reach stackers are fairly commonly in use
in Dar es Salaam port and in ICDs, and therefore there will be better served both from the
point of view on maintenance and spares as on driver and mechanic expertise. Any other form
of equipment would be unique in Tanzania, escalating costs and usually resulting in greater
downtime when equipment breaks down. Nevertheless new technology will be introduced
when sufficient incentive is provided in the form of higher throughput volumes.
It is believed that the reach stacker option will provide one of the most competitive options,
and will be suitable for the KFS. However, a full simulation and Multi-Criteria Decision
Analysis could be carried out at the design stage. In the end of the day it is the concessionaire
that will decide on handling technology and further examination of options is in the
consultants view at this pre-feasibility stage irrelevant.The terminal equipment requirements
for the reach stacker option are shown in Error! Reference source not found. and for the

RTG option in Table 4.3. A breakdown of the investments in infrastructure for the RTG
option is presented in Annex I.

5 Connectivity of the KFS
The KFS needs to be linked to both the TAZARA and TRL railway systems as well as to the
main road arteries of the country, primarily the A7 (Morogoro Road).
5.1 Road Infrastructure
In principle the KFS requires two access roads: one from the North drawn from the A7 and
one leading South to the Industrial Zone as planned by the District Council of Kisarawe.
Connection to the A7
Road access to the A7 would be via a 7.4 meter wide asphalt road, 3.75 km in length. Access
at the intersection of the two roads would be a right turn refuge. In time it may become
necessary to signalise this intersection. The road from the A7 to the KFS needs to be a heavy
duty road in view of the huge number of trucks calling the KFS with cargo and containers.
The cost of this access road has been estimated to be in the order of USD 3.5 mln (see Annex
B). The road construction requires relocation of businesses and people that are residing now
at the alignment of the A7.
Kisarawe Industrial Zone.
The Kisarawe Industrial Zone west of Kisarawe village (see Figure 2.2) should be connected
to the KFS by a heavy duty road as well. The estimated distance between the Zone and KFS is
10 km based on the location data provided by the Kisarawe District Council. The cost of
construction of this dedicated Industrial Zone Road has not been taken into account in this
pre-feasibility.
The existing rural road adjacent to the planned KFS leads from the A7 to Kisarawe village.
Although it would facilitate traffic from the A7 to Pugu Road it is not recommended to use
this route for large/heavy vehicle traffic and subsequently any freight or container haulage.
DSM Ring Road
A major Ring Road is being constructed around the city of Dar es Salaam. The total length is
68.9 km. The trace of this Ring Road can be viewed on a regional map (see Figure 2.1) and
runs from Mbezi beach at the Indian Ocean (north of DSM) via Goba-Mbez (Morogoro Road)
- Kinyarezi (Ilala)- Segereya Banana (Pugu Road) Jetty Club Kiloa Road that connects
to Port of DSM on the south side. The ring road will be a four lane tarmac road and
construction is under control of TANROADS. The Consultant has no indication on a starting
date of implementation of this project. Relocation and resettlement claims are currently being
dealt with by the Dar es Salaam City Council.

5.2 Rail infrastructure
Selected rail track
The KFS will have direct rail access to both the TAZARA line (1067mm track gauge) and the
TRL line (1000mm track gauge), requiring new rail lines to be constructed respectively to the
Yombo (28 km) and Gongolomboto (17 km) marshalling yards. This will incorporate a
doubling of a section of the existing TAZARA line, which will serve as the route for a
dedicated rail shuttle service between the KFS and Yombo yard.
From Yombo yard to the DSM port, the existing TAZARA will be doubled to serve as a
dedicated rail shuttle service to the port terminals, serving both the existing TICTS and TPA
terminal, as well as the future planned container terminal at berths 13 and 14. The TAZARA
route is favoured ahead of the TRL route for the shuttle service because the alignment is more
suitable for expansion and port terminal access.
From the TAZARA mainline in the vicinity of Pugu, new track needs to be constructed
northwards to pass under the Pugu Road and the TRL main line near Gongolomboto, in grade
separation structures. The line will then proceed northbound, and then westwards to the KFS.
The area to be traversed is very hilly, and unlike roads, rail lines are very limited in their
ability to climb hills. The consultants have adopted a maximum ruling grade of 1 in 60. A
more direct route from the west, and therefore shorter in track length, may be technically
feasible, but would require significantly more earthworks, possibly tunnels and viaducts. An
investigation of such a route is beyond the scope of this project, but several alternative routes
would need to be evaluated in the design phase.
There is also the need for the take-off from the main line to be at a station/marshalling yard
for traffic control purposes. Gongolomboto is such a station.
There is the possibility that the TRL rail operations will in the future be replaced or
supplemented by a new standard gauge rail service. The upgrading of the TRL link to the
KFS will have to be incorporated into the design of the new system and the TRL rail link and
associated structures to the KFS should be such that it can be upgraded to standard gauge in
the future. It is assumed that this could be a longer term development.
The siding at KFS provided for the TAZARA system has two loading/discharging lines, each
capable of accommodating 50 wagons (each 13m length), as well as a locomotive escape line.
Rail access to the TRL system would take off the mainline at Gongolomboto station and join
the TAZARA alignment as it makes its way to the KFS. The siding for the TRL line at KFS
also provides for two loading/discharging lines, each capable of accommodating 50 wagons
of 13 metre length, as well as a locomotive escape line.
Shortest link rail shuttle option
The Consultant has furthermore studied an alternative rail line based on the shortest possible
connection from the KFS to both main railway lines (TAZARA and TRL). These routes are
shown schematically on the attached drawing (see Error! Reference source not found.).
Consultants have herewith not made any attempt to follow contours, but are aware that the
terrain for such a rail line is very hilly. Therefore only a certain amount of rationalisation has
been applied to our cost estimates.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 74
Figure 5.1 Option for most direct rail links from KFS to TRL and TAZARA line
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 75
The shortest length between the TAZARA line and the intended KFS is 12.5 km. There is no
existing station at the possible take-off site, so it would be necessary to establish a 3 x 800
metre exchange yard at this point, and TAZARA would have to operate the yard as a
signalled station.
However, this take-off point is 23.9 km from the facing points of Yombo Yard, and according
to TAZARA officials it will be necessary to double the line to allow unrestricted access to the
KFS. It will therefore be necessary to double the line for a total of 32.5 km from the port to
the take-off at Vigama. Given the nature of the terrain between Vigama and the KFS the
consultant estimates that of the 12.5 kilometres, 5% would require tunnelling, 15% would
require deep cuttings, 5% would require viaducts/bridges and 10% would require deep fills.
Only 65% of the line could be laid on conventional graded formation.
Although it is difficult to estimate accurately without knowledge of the sub-strata likely to be
encountered on the excavations/tunnels, the consultant estimates the costs of the tunnel
section to be USD 14,000 per m, and that of the viaducts to be USD 16,000 per m, though
both rates are highly dependent on the detail configuration.
The total cost estimate of this alternative (short-cut) route is roughly estimated at USD 107
mln (excluding contractors preliminary, general expenses and consultancy fees) or 130 mln
(including all). This option will cost around USD 47 mln more than the preferred (longer)
option. A breakdown of cost of the most direct route is presented in Annex H.
The shuttle transport cost calculations have not been adapted for this alternative, as the
distance to be covered on the access rail links to the KFS is shorter, but the distance to be
covered on TRL or TAZARA lines is larger. Overall, the difference in distance for the shuttle
trains will not be very different.
For trains to/from upcountry Tanzania and the LLCs, the shortest rail connection results in an
additional distance of about 17 km compared to the optimal rail link option. This should
however be seen in light of a total distance of up to 1000 km that these trains will cover.
Moreover, this is applicable to only a small share of the total volume, as even in the best case
the share of rail transport to upcountry Tanzania and the LLCs will be in the range of 25% (as
compared to a current rail share of about 5% from the port of Dar es Salaam). In all, the
saving of 17 km distance for the long haul trains will not outweigh the additional investment
costs in the shorter rail connection.
5.3 Rail shuttle service
Modal transport pattern and modal split forecast
It is envisaged that in future all transit containers (and containers with destination or origin
upcountry Tanzania) will be taken by rail shuttle to the KFS, which will have unimpeded and
dedicated road access to the T1 transit route.
The performances of both TAZARA and TRL have been poor and loss-making for many
years, but there is now a concerted effort by all the regional governments to focus on a
meaningful restructuring and improvement of the rail services. For this to be successful, it
will require trains to be operated on a contracted scheduled basis, providing longer trains,
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 76
shorter transit and turnaround times and lower operating costs. The establishment of the KFS
should assist in promoting this, subject to a joint performance based operating agreement
being concluded between the two railway operators, the KFS operator, and the port terminals.
Container rail shuttle capacity requirements
The future volume projections for the rail shuttle service have been based on the imported
containers which are expected to be transferred to the KFS both up-country domestic and
transit imports. The return trip from the KFS to the port terminals will carry the containerised
exports and empty containers. It is expected that some high value bulk exports, such as copper
and agricultural exports will be consolidated and containerised at or around the KFS. The
forecast is presented in Error! Reference source not found..

in each direction. It is assumed that the KFS rail shuttle service will operate on a 24/7 basis.
In order to assure zero downtime, it is assume there will always be one complete additional
set of 2 locomotives and 50 wagons of 2 TEU capacity on standby. With a turnaround time of
10 hours (thus 2.4 roundtrips per day), the capacity of one shuttle set is 2.4 x 2 x 100 x 350 =
168,000 TEU in both directions, or 84,000 TEU in each direction. Between 2030 and 2035 a
doubling of the track to the KFS will be required.

Car rail shuttle capacity requirements
Vehicles can be transported from the car terminal to the KFS by road car transporter, taking 6
vehicles per trip, or by rail shuttle using special wagons. If all the vehicles are transported by
rail shuttle, assuming a 20 wagon train with special dedicated rolling stock able to load up to
6 cars per wagon, each train could handle a total of 120 units per round trip (there will be only
imports). With 3 roundtrips per day, this means an annual capacity of 3 x 120 x 350 =
126,000 vehicles. The projected volume of vehicle imports through the KFS and the related
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 77
number of shuttles is shown in Error! Reference source not found.. It is proposed that the
TRL line is used for the car train shuttle, which is also more appropriate in respect the rail to
port interface and location.

General rail shuttle operating principles
The main rail shuttle operating principles will be based on achieving a high level of
equipment utilisation in order to minimise costs. Rail shuttle services between the port
terminals and Yombo yard will in the first years of KFS operation be limited to 20 wagon
train lengths from the existing terminals, and up to 50 wagons from the new container
terminal.
At Yombo yard it will be possible to combine shorter trains from the port terminals to make
up 50 wagons trains for the 27 km service to the KFS. For the export direction, the full 50
wagon trains will be loaded at the KFS with containers placed on wagons destined for a
designated port terminal and vessel, allowing the train to be split (if necessary) at Yombo
yard. Ideally, trains should be kept together as block trains at all times, including the
locomotives, to achieve the shortest possible train turnaround time with the exception of the
train splitting and assembly at Yombo yard. A train turnaround time of (less than) 10 hours
should be aimed for, allowing each train to carry out 2.4 return trips each day.
The KFS includes the development of an import car terminal this can also be served by the
rail shuttle service, or by road car carriers. Given the limited space within the existing
container terminal and associated container rail sidings and handling equipment, it would
difficult to mix the loading of containers and cars at the same facility. It is proposed to locate
the rail car sidings adjacent to the port car terminal and to use the TRL line for the car rail
shuttle to the KFS. With the operation of the rail container shuttle on the TAZARA system,
the TRL link to the port is expected to remain relatively underutilised, but this will depend on
the possible future nickel exports and the plans for the standard gauge railway development.
If the rail car shuttle is to be operated on the same line as the containers, this line will require
doubling at an earlier stage and, and the overall logistics management will become more
complex. The special car rail carriers should be designed such that they can be upgraded to
standard gauge in future.
Rail shuttle service schedule
The projected container volumes and assumed train lengths indicate that it will be necessary
to provide a passing loop to accommodate 50 wagons trains between Yombo-yard and the
KFS.
The following tentative operating schedule is proposed:
Unloading and loading the train at the port terminal, initially with 3 or 4 forklifts;
Loading and unloading 20 to 50 wagons, 40 to 100 TEUs: 3 hours;
Train transit time between the port terminal and Yombo yard: 30 mins;
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 78
Clearance and possible arrangement in Yombo yard: 30 mins;
Train transit between Yombo and the KFS, 27 km: 1 hour;
Loading and unloading at the KFS;
Return to Yombo yard : 1 hour;
Yombo yard: 30 mins;
Transit time Yombo to port terminal: 30 mins.
Total train turnaround time estimated at 10 hours, making 2.4 return trips per 24 day possible.
Each 50 wagon train unit will therefore have a capacity of 100 x 2.4 x 350 days = 84.000
TEUs per annum in each direction.
5.4 Rail shuttle capital and operating costs
Container rail shuttle capital costs
It is assumed that the rail shuttle service will be operated as a separate business unit and cost
centre, possibly as a concession, or as a separate operating division within TAZARA or TRL
which in turn may also be privately operated in future, despite the recent poor experience
with railway concessioning. It is important that the equipment locomotives and wagons
are wholly dedicated to the shuttle service, and that the maintenance of both the equipment
and the track infrastructure is carried out on a fixed performance contract basis to ensure a
very high level of operational reliability. Track maintenance should ideally be carried out by
one of the two existing railway companies, probably TAZARA, due to safety and legal
considerations.
The use of the track by the shuttle service could be on a track access fee basis. Consultants
have calculated an overall infrastructure user fee (wharfage fee) for the entire project, which
means KFS terminal site infrastructure and road and rail connections to the existing
network(see Chapter 6). As the rail infrastructure capex is about 42% of the total
infrastructure capex, about 42% of the wharfage fee applies to the rail links. The track access
fee for part of the rail trip that takes place on the existing rail network is not included in this
wharfage fee, but has been included as a track access fee in the shuttle operation costs (see
sections below and Error! Reference source not found. and Error! Reference source not
found.).
The equipment can be purchased or leased on a full maintenance basis. For the purposes of
costing, it has been assumed that the equipment is leased from TAZARA, as it will operate on
the same track gauge of 1067mm, and that the daily lease cost will only be charged and paid
on basis of equipment availability. Equipment availability of 100% is therefore assumed.
Container rail shuttle operating costs
Initial operating costs for the rail shuttle service have been estimated using the following
assumptions for each train set of 50 wagons, assuming a full load of 100 TEUs of full and
empty containers in each direction:
Train sets of 50 container wagons and 2 locomotives;
2.4 trips of 35km each way = 186 km per day per train set;
Locomotive lease at USD 1200 per day, wet lease, including maintenance.
Locomotives can be leased from TAZARA any other regional supplier, on a daily
hire basis, based on 100% availability. Maintenance and repair should ideally be
subcontracted to TAZARA, in order to avoid safety issues related to both equipment
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 79
and track. Non performance should be covered by a provision for outsourcing, with
the costs offset against hire charges. The alternative is for the KFS company to
purchase its own locomotives, at about USD 2 mln per unit, to be maintained by
TAZARA workshops;
Wagon lease at USD 30 per day, including maintenance with similar contractual
arrangements as for the locomotives. A new wagon is estimated to cost about USD
40,000.
In order to assure zero downtime, it is assume there is always one complete set of 2
locomotives and 50 wagons on standby;
Fuel consumption at 4 litres per 1,000 gross tonkm;
Total mass of train 3.200 tonnes.
o Gross tonkm per shuttle round trip = 22,4000 gross tonkm;
o Total fuel consumption per round trip = 900 litres; cost of fuel: USD 1.2 per
litre;
Cost of 3 train crews per unit per month = USD 7,500;
Track access fee = USD 0.01 per gross tonkm (track maintained and signalled by
TAZARA). This access fee is more than is currently charged by TAZARA for access
by the Zambia operator, RSZ;
Administration and operating margin: 25%;
Whereas the current port terminal configurations cannot take 50 wagon trains, it is assumed
that in a few years time the configurations will have been adapted to 50 wagon trains. The
shuttle cost estimate therefore assumes 50 wagon trains, even though in practice in the first 2
years of KFS operations (when volumes are still relatively small) shuttles of 20 wagons may
have to be operated.
Thus, the cost of operating one shuttle turnaround between the KFS and the port are indicated
as in Error! Reference source not found.. Assuming a load factor of 100% (=200 TEUs per
round trip), the costs per TEU are USD 31.55. The unit cost however does not take
underutilization of trains into account: less than fully loaded trains will occur whenever
capacity exceeds the capacity of the existing shuttles, a new train set needs to be put in
service. With growing volumes, this new train set will grow towards full utilisation; at the
moment it reaches full utilisation another train set will be put in service, etc. When the
underutilization (less than full wagon trains) is taken into account the unit costs will change.
The average cost per TEU during the entire 23 years of operation works out to USD 37.00.

Cost category Costs in USD
Locomotive and wagon lease 1,625
Fuel costs 1,080
Train crew 104
Track access 2,240
Administration and operating margin 1,262
Total per shuttle roundtrip 6,311
Road Rail Comparative Costs
The comparative cost of road transport are USD 102 per TEU (or USD 350 per round trip),
assuming:
2 TEUs per truck;
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 80
0.75 load factor;
70 km round trip distance;
allowing for an 0.5 days congestion charge at USD 150/day;
one trip per day,
transport tariff of USD 2.50 per km.
Some containers will however be too heavy to allow 2 TEUs per truck, thus increasing cost
per TEU. The comparative rail shuttle costs are USD 37.00.
Car rail shuttle
The existing TRL line and new link to the KFS could be utilised for operating the car shuttle,
without the need at this stage for doubling the line between the port and the KFS. It is
proposed to operate this on similar principles, but shorter train units, using 20 wagon trains
with one mainline locomotive, with an estimated train turnaround time of 8 hours as a non-
stop service (each train completing 3 trips per day). It is expected that the car shuttle will be
empty on the return trip and a load factor of 50% is therefore assumed for the round trip. This
means a total number of 20 wagons x 6 cars x 5% = 120 cars per shuttle turnaround can be
transported.
The cost of the special car wagons has been estimated at USD 120,000 each and full
maintenance lease costs at USD 60 per day. Thus, the cost of operating one rail car shuttle
turnaround between the KFS and the port car terminal are indicated as in Error! Reference
source not found.. This works out to a cost of USD 36.07 per car. The unit cost however
does not take underutilization of trains into account: less than fully loaded trains will occur
whenever capacity exceeds the capacity of the existing shuttles, a new train set needs to be
put in service. With growing volumes, this new train set will grow towards full utilisation; at
the moment it reaches full utilisation another train set will be put in service, etc. When the
underutilization (less than full wagon trains) is taken into account the unit costs will change.
The average cost per car during the entire 23 years of operation works out to USD 48.12.

Administration and operating margin 848
Total per shuttle roundtrip 4,238
Multi-story car park
TPA has plans to construct a multi-storey car park at Dar es Salaam harbour. TPA stated
recently at the 8th Pan-African Ports Cooperation (PAPC) conference that the car park will
have a capacity of accommodating over 8,000 vehicles and will operate as special Car Freight
Station. This plan would undermine the viability of a dedicated rail shuttle service from DSM
port to the KFS since the multi-story car park will not induce consignees of cars to have their
vehicle been delivered at KFS. In order to stimulate dispatch of cars to the KFS the storage
fees in port should be substantially higher than the combined cost of transport and storage of
cars at KFS.
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 81
In case TPA would not decide to establish a rail shuttle for cars in view of relatively low
dwell times in port, rolling stock cost for car shuttle locomotives and rail wagons can be
avoided.
5.5 DSM port terminal rail access and interface
The consultant has studied the rail configuration at both TPA and TICTS terminals to review
the possible bottlenecks that arise from establishment of the rail shuttle service. The existing
port to rail interface is poor, although direct rail access to the TICTS container terminal is
provided for both TAZARA and TRL, accommodating train lengths of 20 wagons. The
TAZARA line approaches from the south and the TRL from the north with a gantry crane
spanning two lines for each service. In theory this should work well, however this means
accepting the constraint of the short train lengths. Development constraints prevent the lines
from being located further away from the quay side to provide more yard storage space. The
lines could be lengthened, possibly doubled, but this would require the main container port
road entrance to be relocated much further to the south.
There is an operating agreement between TICTS and TRL for loading 1000 import TEUs per
month, about one 20 wagon train per day, but this is hardly being utilised at present, mainly
because of the TRL operating difficulties. Each party to the agreement blames the other for
non-performance, with delays in train loading, equipment shortages and absence of
scheduling being the main issues. It would appear that the main difficulties are related to
operational and contractual problems rather than the lack of infrastructure. The railway
operating efficiency needs to be improved before an infrastructure upgrade can be justified.
The rail shuttle service should be able to operate with the existing facilities.
For the new container terminal at berths 13 and 14, which are entering the design phase,
railway sidings to accommodate 50 wagon trains should be provided, up to 800m long,
including rail mounted rail gantry system, located at the rear of the container yard. An aerial
on the Google map indicates that this should be possible, provided that the oil storage tanks
and Kurasini Terminal are relocated.
It is proposed that the TRL line to the KFS be considered for the operation of the rail car
shuttle, so that the operations of container and car rail shuttles do not conflict with each other,
and that the use of the track infrastructure is optimised. Based on the TICTS map (see Error!
Reference source not found. on the following page) the consultant has prepared a map
showing that it is possible to extend the Rail Mounted Gantry rails, and associated rail lines
serving them, to accommodate up to 540 m required to load/unload 40 wagons conveying 40ft
containers or two 20 ft containers. However, this extension would require alterations to the
rail track layout, relocation of the port access road (which may require substantial bank
removal) and the possible relocation of the TICTS boundary. It is most likely that the
extended length of the terminal would demand an additional gantry crane to be provided.

6 Financial Feasibility of the KFS
6.1 Introduction
For the financial analysis, a financial model in Microsoft Excel was built to simulate the
business case from the perspective of a future private company that will develop, maintain
and operate the KFS over a certain period (base case: 25 years). This chapter introduces the
financial model, provides a description of the assumptions underlying the model and presents
the results of the analysis. Finally, recommendations will be made focussing on steps to be
taken to take the project forward.
This section describes the financial analysis for the development of the KFS. The financial
analysis aims to provide insight in the financial feasibility of this development from the
perspective of a private developer. It considers the projects ability to attract a private
company (or consortium) to develop, maintain and operate the KFS including a dedicated rail
connection with the port under a lease arrangement (25 years) with the Tanzanian Port
Authority (TPA).
Financial feasibility
The financial analysis provides information about the financial feasibility of the project from
the perspective of the private developer. The main criteria to map out if the project is
financially feasible are:
The project Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is at least equal to the Weighted Average
Cost of Capital (WACC). The reasoning and calculation of the WACC is illustrated
in Annex J;
The expected return on investors equity corresponds with the characteristics and
risks related to the projects. This is measured by the Return on Equity (RoE). The
reasoning and calculation of the Return on Equity is also illustrated in Annex J;
The project generates sufficient cash-flow to meet its financial obligations (interest
payments and debt repayments). This is measured by the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio (DSRC).
The financial analysis will result in calculation of the fee structure that private developers
may apply in order to make the project commercially attractive.
6.2 Financial model
Objective
The objective of the model is to calculate the financial feasibility from the point of view of a
project developer to:
Develop/construct the KFS including a dedicated rail connection;
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 85
Maintain and operate the KFS including the dedicated rail connections over a period
of 25 years.
Assumptions
Assumptions made for the financial model are based on the:
Design and cost calculations by the consultant;
Analysis and research with respect to general, macro-economic and financial
indicators relevant for this project;
Communication with the client and other stakeholders. Based on a mission conducted
in November 2009 an analysis has been drawn that describes the rationale for the
proposed business model being the integrated concession model.
Structure
The model has been structured as per Error! Reference source not found..
Figure 6.1 Structure of the model
Source: ECORYS
The financial model makes it possible to easily assess the financial feasibility for different
assumptions than estimated for the base case, for instance for 10% higher or lower investment
and operational costs, fees, timing and tax assumptions.
Input
The input part of the model consists of a worksheet presenting the assumptions taken into
account in the model. The assumptions refer to aspects like timing, demand (revenues), costs,
finance, returns (required) and taxes and will be further elaborated on in the next section. The
input part of the model is the part that every other part of the model refers back to.
Calculation
The model uses the input to calculate all data needed to determine the output. The model
contains calculations with respect to:
The timing of the project (for instance the model indicates whether or not debt
repayment has started, etc.);
The total and annual capital expenditures (CAPEX);
The total and annual operational expenditures (OPEX);
The demand over the years and consequent revenue streams;
The cash flows of the project over the years;
The retained earnings of the project over the years;
Finance in terms of debt, repayments, interest, equity, dividends etc;
INPUT OUTPUT
COCKPIT
CALCULATION
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 86
Tax regime;
Relevant cover ratios (Debt Service Cover Ratio minimum/average).
The effect of the risks and opportunities can be calculated as the cockpit makes it
possible to immediately assess the influence on the financial feasibility when e.g.
timing, expenditures or revenues assumptions change.
Output
The output sheets refer back to the calculation sheets. For this model the output consists out
of:
Cash flow statement;
Profit and loss account;
Balance sheet;
Calculation of financial ratios.
Cockpit
The cockpit is constructed once the model is completed. It is the summary sheet of the model,
showing the main results as well as the main drivers of the model. The drivers of the model
can be changed in the cockpit, and the cockpit sheet will immediately show the results of such
changes. This allows for the model to be easily optimized and scenarios to be assessed.
The cockpit for this project allows to assess the impact of different input (for timing, required
return- and interest rates, finance, revenues and costs) on the:
Return on equity generated (RoE);
Internal rate of return (IRR);
Annual- and minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSRC);
Net present value (NPV).
Furthermore, as the financial analysis will be used to calculate the expected fee structure to
make the project commercially attractive for private developers, the cockpit provides insight
in the estimated fee structure under different assumptions. This is done by means of the goal
seek function. With this function the minimum fee structure for which the financial criteria
(IRR, RoE, DSCR) are met are calculated in terms of:
Transport fee per TEU;
Transport fee per car;
Handling fee per container or car;
Wharfage fee per container or car.
6.3 Assumptions
All assumptions made have been verified in discussion with the client. The assumptions as
presented in this section determine the base case of the project.
Business/PPP model
An integrated model will be used (see Figure 6.2). In this model all building blocks are
transferred to a single private entity under an integrated concession agreement as shown in the
figure below. This implies that all the risks (except land acquisition risk) are allocated to one
single private entity including the complex interface risks.
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 87
This model allows for a single contracting authority on the side of the public sector. This
would normally be TPA.

Inflation
As this is a pre-feasibility study inflation is not taken into account. Moreover, the concession
period is rather long (25 years). It is expected that potential investors will be highly reluctant
to accept the risk on inflation over such a period. All numbers in this report are in real terms.
It is noted that the financial model allows inflation to be incorporated. This makes it easier to
build on the model in the next phases of project development.

6.4 Capital expenditures
Cost estimates are made for the following items:
Land (purchase) of max 100 hectare (about 250 acres);
Relocation and resettlement of persons and objects;
Rail infrastructure: rail shuttle line TAZARA and TRL;
Road infrastructure: connection to the A7 (Morogoro Road);
Freight station infrastructure (earth works, pavement, utilities, etc);
Container and car handling equipment (reach stackers, tractor trailers etc);
Terminal buildings, fences , etc;
Terminal operations management system;
Rail shuttle equipment: locomotives and rail wagons (lease);
Operating cost for the rail shuttle services (diesel, crew, track access etc);
Operations and maintenance of terminal infrastructure and equipment.
The Consultants have based all development cost on their own knowledge. For certain items
the assistance of stakeholders has been called in.
a) The Executive Agency of the District of Kisarawe has indicated that the cost of land
is on average USD 1,000 per acre in the Kisarawe South area (Industrial zone). This
figure has been used to estimate the cost of land for Kisarawe North.
b) Relocation and compensation costs are based on findings in section 2.4, being
between USD 190-300 per m
2
. The population density of the Kisarawe North area is
limited and for calculation purposes the consultants have assumed a total
compensation of some USD 80,000.
The details of cost items can be observed in Annexes B to G.
KFS infrastructure
Four scenarios for KFS infrastructure have been analysed. The scenarios differ with respect
to:
i) Rail infrastructure approach: the base case scenario (A) is according to the
Consultants advice on the optimal rail connection in terms of investment costs. This
rail connection does not follow the shortest route from the existing railway lines to
the KFS in order to avoid high investments for structural works such as tunnels and
bridges. In this case the total CAPEX is USD 183.2 million including indirect costs
(contracts preliminary and general costs; consultant fees). Of this, the rail access costs
are USD 63.6 million (excluding indirect costs). The shortest route scenario (B) is
based on using the shortest link for KFS rail connections to the existing rail network,
resulting in higher estimates of investments in structural works such as tunnels and
bridges. In this case the total CAPEX is USD 236.5 million including indirect costs
(contracts preliminary and general costs; consultant fees). Of this, the rail access costs
are USD 107.1 million (excluding indirect costs);
ii) Terminal handling equipment: the base scenario (1) assumes the use of reach
stackers and terminal tractors. The alternative scenario (2) assumes the use of rubber
tyred gantry cranes (RTG) and terminal tractors for terminal handling and rail
mounted gantry cranes (RMG) for the shuttles. Whereas in the alternative scenario
the costs of terminal infrastructure are lower with approximately USD 20 million, the
capital costs of terminal equipment are significantly higher (about USD 50 million).
The operating costs of terminal equipment are slightly lower (about USD 4 million).

Terminal handling equipment
The required terminal handling equipment (see Error! Reference source not found. and
Table 4.3) grows as the container flows through the KFS grow and are therefore calculated
based on the traffic forecasts and KFS capacity.
In the base case (1) there are two types of handling equipment:
Reach stackers to be replaced every 11 years;
Terminal tractors to be replaced every 7 years.
In the alternative case (2) there are three types of handling equipment:
RTGs to be replaced every 10 years;
RMGs to be replaced every 15 years;
Terminal tractors to be replaced every 7 years.
The investment costs for handling equipments are stated in Error! Reference source not
found.below. It is shown that the capital costs of RTGs and RMGs are significantly higher.

6.5 Operational expenditures
The operational costs are divided in four main categories:
Maintenance costs KFS Infrastructure;
Staffing costs;
Equipment operational costs;
Rail shuttle operational costs.

Staffing costs
Staffing of the KFS is calculated based on the growing need for staffing as container flows
through the KFS grow. Annex A provides an estimate of the number of staff required in line
with the traffic flow forecasts for the different positions in the KFS organization.
In the terminal handling base case (reach stackers) the organization will grow from 114 in
year 1 to 466 after 25 years. Based on an average salary per head of USD 700 per year, the
total staffing costs add up to USD 5,081,300.- . See Error! Reference source not found.. In
the terminal handling alternative case (RTG/ RMG) the organization grows to 375 people in
11 years and stays stable after. Due to a faster growth in staffing costs this leads to a slightly
higher total of USD 5,218,500,-.

Rail shuttle operational costs
Costs of rail shuttle operations calculations are given in section 5.4 of this report. They make
up the largest part of OPEX. As argued, the distance to be covered by the rail shuttle between
DSM port and the KFS will not be (very different) between both railway connection options

(optimal link versus shortest route). For trains to/from upcountry Tanzania and the LLCs
there is a distance saving of about 17km.

6.6 Tariffs
The Revenues of the KFS project consist of:
Revenues from transport fees that are related to rail shuttle operations;
Revenues from handling fees that are related to the OPEX excluding rail shuttle
operations. These also cover storage;
Revenues from wharfage fees (fee for use of infrastructure) that are related to the
investment and maintenance of KFS infrastructure (terminal site infrastructure,
road access and rail access).
Revenues of custom clearing services are not taken into account as will not be levied by the
KFS operator but by third parties (customs clearing agents).
Transport fees (rail shuttle service)
The revenues are based on an estimated tariff applicable for each of the services
(containers/cars). A separate transport fee is calculated for containers and cars. The first step
in calculating these tariffs is calculating the unit costs for transporting one TEU or car
assuming real figures (excluding inflation) and without taking into account the costs of
finance. In the second step, the tariffs are calculated that should be applied by the private
developer if the costs of finance are taken into account.
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 93
Benchmark of road versus rail transport fees
The tariff for the rail shuttle should compete with the tariff that ICDs charge to their clients
for picking up containers from the port to an ICD. The comparison however defaults since the
KFS is at a much larger distance form the port than all of the existing ICDs.
The economy of scale resulting from the large volume of containers (and cars) on the rail
shuttle leads to a much lower transport unit costs in comparison with any truck transport cost.
Although the economic evaluation is not part of this feasibility study, it is clear that the
savings of unit transport cost by using the rail shuttle is a major contributor to economic
feasibility.
Handling fees (KFS operations)
The services include handling and storage of containers and cars. One handling fee is
calculated that is applicable to one TEUs as well as to a car. In the calculations it is assumed
that the fee for handling 1 TEU equals that of handling 1 car. The first step in calculating
these tariffs is calculating the unit costs for handling a TEU or car assuming real figures
(excluding inflation) and without taking into account the costs of finance. In the second step,
the tariffs are calculated that should be applied by the private developer if the costs of finance
are taken into account.
Recommended tariff policy
A tariff policy needs to be made to control excessively long periods of storage of containers
and vehicles. The Consultant has not studied the effects of any tariff policy in detail but
recommends to offer a number of days free storage (as applicable in DSM port and ICDs)
after which a rising rate scale may be set. Logically all tariffs should be subject to
SUMATRA guidelines and policies for general transport fees and tariffs.
The tariff structure should be clear, uniquely defined and kept simple as in the case of ICD
service tariffs. Customers should have one tariff for handling in and out (including rail shuttle
transport) and a separate one for storage based on the length of stay, facilitating their pre-
trade calculations. Handling of LCL cargo (stuffing, stripping of containers, repacking, etc)
needs to be charged separately (as is an additional service).
Benchmark of handling fees
The observed handling tariffs in benchmark locations are:
TICTS terminal:
Delivery fee: USD 79/119 per 20'/40' for FCL domestic en USD 70/105 for FCL
transit (excluding ship to shore handling).
From general cargo berth TPA (non-TICTS traffic) to railhead: USD 30/45 per
20/40.
Storage USD 20/40 per 20/40 per day from day 7 to 21. Until 7 days storage is
free, after 21 days the storage tariff is doubled.
Maputo container terminal (MIPS, 2007):
Delivery fee: USD 140/252 per 20'/40' (excluding ship to shore handling).
General handling in/out: USD 40/72 per 20'/40'.
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 94
Wharfage fee
The wharfage fee is the fee that is to be charged to cover the investment and maintenance
costs of KFS Infrastructure (terminal site, road access and rail access) and does not cover any
vehicle, rail car or cargo handling and storage cost. Preferably one wharfage fee is calculated
that is applicable to containers as well as cars. It is assumed that the fee for transportation of 1
TEU equals that for transportation of 1 car. The first step in calculating these tariffs is
calculating the unit costs for the KFS infrastructure per TEU or car assuming real figures
(excluding inflation) and without taking into account the costs of finance. This is done by
taking total infrastructure investment and maintenance costs for the entire concession period
and dividing this by the accumulated volume of the entire concession period. In the second
step, the wharfage fee is calculated that should be applied by the TPA if the costs of finance
are taken into account.
Cost of finance and tariff
The tariffs as calculated above give the fees in real terms, based on the associated costs for
each fee but without taking into account the costs of finance. It is noted that due to the
duration of infrastructure concessions, the costs of financing are of a significant magnitude,
especially for private financing where investments would have to funded from loans at market
rates. However, also when the KFS would be realized completely with public funds costs of
financing would apply, albeit at lower rates (soft loans).
The additional financing costs that are imposed by the application of PPP are
expected to be covered by the benefits of PPP being a more efficient realization,
maintenance and operation of the infrastructure. The PPP contract will result in such
gains due to the structure of the business model that contains incentives for the
private operator to realize and operate the infrastructure according plan and because
of an optimal risk division between public (procuring) authority and private
developer in which both contracting parties assume the risks they can best handle.
Depending on the characteristics of the business model and financing arrangements, the
calculated fees are significantly higher than the cost based fees that have been explained
above.
6.7 Revenues
The revenues for the base case are calculated based on:
The traffic forecasts for transport, handling and storage of containers to and on
the KFS;
Tariffs as indicated in previous section being container/car handling fees, storage
fees and wharfage fees.
As the aim of the financial analysis is to calculate a fee structure for which the project is
feasible from the private developers perspective, the revenues will be further discussed under
the section 6.11 results of the financial analysis.

6.9 Finance
Assumptions with respect to finance are stated in the table below. The main assumption is
that finance (equity and debt) will be attracted to cover negative project cash flows.
The assumptions with respect to the expected returns that investors and banks will need to
make to engage in the KFS are illustrated in Annex J.
The debt repayment period is minimized under the condition that the requirements for Debt
Service Coverage Ratios (DSCR) are met using a Debt Sculpting Scheme in the financial
model. As a minimum by banks desired -DSCR of 1 is assumed this means that all Cash
Flows Available for Debt Service (CFADS) are used for repayment of interest and debt. A
grace period for interest repayments should be applied in the years that interest that the
payable interest is higher than CFADS because otherwise DSCR is not met.

6.11 Results of the financial analysis
The main criteria to map out the projects financial feasibility are:
Equity investors get a return that largely compensates for the project specifics and
risks. This is measured by the Return on Equity (RoE). The desired RoE for this
project is 17.6% (real). For detailed calculation of the RoE required see Annex J;
The project Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is calculated. The IRR should be at least
equal to the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). The desired WACC for this
project is 11.2% (real). For detailed calculation of the WACC required see Annex J;
The project generates sufficient cash-flow to meet its financial obligations (interest
payments and debt repayments). This is measured by the Debt Service Coverage
Ratios (DSRC). The average required DSCR for this project is 1.3 and the yearly
minimum DSCR for this project is 1 (to be met every year of debt payment).
The financial analysis aims at providing estimates for the fee structure to be applied for which
the project is expected to be commercially attractive for the private developer. The main
assumptions with respect to the fees were handled under the Tariffs-section of this chapter.

Interpretation of the results
The results of the financial analysis show that the KFS is financially feasible with fees that
are below those currently applied in the ICDs. The combined (integrated) tariff for containers
1
Tanzania Investment Guide 2008 and Beyond
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 97
for shuttle train transport, handling and wharfage is between USD 97 and USD 120. For cars
these rates are between USD 120 and USD 144.
For all scenarios the integrated container service tariffs are still below the present comparable
market level of USD 125 per TEU that is known to be charged by ICDs in the vicinity of the
DSM port. In other words, to some extent, the new KFS operator has room to raise tariff
before loosing business to the competition in logistic services, primarily from ICDs.
Wharfage fee for case A and case B
For the shortest route case (B) the calculated wharfage fees are significantly higher than in the
base case (A). The difference is with around USD 32 per TEU or car against USD 16 almost a
factor 2 higher. Based on the results of the financial analysis it is therefore advised to carry
out the project under the infrastructure base case scenario (A) in which rail access is designed
against the optimal investment costs.
Handling fee for case 1 and case 2
The capital and operational costs of handling equipment are translated in the handling fees.
The analysis of the various scenarios shows that the use of RTG/ RMG handling equipment
results in significantly higher handling fees.
For this reason it is advised to carry out the project under the base case scenario (A1) in
which rail access and handling equipment are designed against the optimal investment costs.

6.12 Sensitivity analysis
A sensitivity analysis is carried out for the recommended base case scenario (A1) that applies
optimal rail access investment and handling equipment costs. A sensitivity analysis is carried
out for higher CAPEX in KFS infrastructure and for lower traffic forecasts.
Sensitivity analysis on investment costs
When 20% higher investment costs are assumed for KFS infrastructure the calculated fee
structure needed to make the project financially feasible is as follows (Error! Reference
source not found.). The total fee per TEU at USD 107 is still significantly lower than the
ICD benchmark of USD 125.

When a 20% lower forecast is assumed for the KFS volume the calculated fee structure
needed to make the project financially feasible is as follows (Error! Reference source not

7 Conclusions and Recommendations
7.1 Conclusions
The plan to establish a freight station at Kisarawe was verified and compared in a
multi-criteria analysis with other potential locations. The criterion of available space
in the vicinity of the Freight Station is considered of high importance in view of
industrial development near the freight station. Based on this assumption Kisarawe
was considered a preferential area.
Of the two locations near Kisarawe, Kisarawe North was considered the best location
for the freight station due to its vicinity to the A7 and the terrain structure which,
though still far from flat, is much better geo-technically structured than any other
location in Kisarawe region (South or North). The planned industrial development
area at Kisarawe South is both unattractive from a logistical point of view as well as
terrain structure (narrowly shaped and hilly) point of view.
The Kisarawe North site offers ample space for development for both the freight
station and adjacent industrial activity. The weak points of the location are its
relatively remote distance to the port and subsequently the rail infrastructure
requirements that include a rail crossing to link both TRL and TAZARA railway lines
to the freight station. On the positive site, a huge volume of road haulage in and
through the city will be eliminated, reducing traffic congestion on main roads, road
accidents and air and noise pollution.
The KFS will be connected by road to the T1 (Morogoro Road) and by rail to both the
TRL and TAZARA lines. A dedicated rail shuttle concept is to be developed for the
transport of containers and cars from the port to the KFS and vice versa.
The financial feasibility of KFS can be reached at an integrated fee that is competitive
with the integrated fees charged by the existing ICDs. This assumes development by
a private operator with private funds.
It would be logical if the rail infrastructure will be developed and paid for by the
railway authorities. Since both railway line systems need to be connected to the KFS,
a joint vehicle may be established to design, plan and invest in the railway
infrastructure for the shuttle service. Finance may however become a major
bottleneck and it would be recommended to include the funding with the funding
mechanism for the KFS itself, in other words under the wings of TPA.
The rail shuttle service is recommended to be conceded to a third party on the basis of
a Service Level Agreement. This third party consists preferably of private party that
may lease rolling stock and staff from either railway operator (TRL or TAZARA).
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 101
If TPA would establish a multi-storey car park at DSM port, the car rail shuttle
service and KFS use for cars will most likely no longer be attractive. Based on
206,000 cars arriving at DSM port in 2017 with an average dwell time of 10 days per
car, the 8000 parking places would provide sufficient capacity. It is however not
recommended to store cars in a vacant port area that can be used for other (ship-shore
related) activities.
7.2 Recommendations
Based on the above conclusions the consultants recommend to:
Start and proceed with investigations (cadastral survey) on land ownership at
Kisarawe North to define the exact plot. At the same time District and Ward
boundaries should be analysed as it may occur that (parts of) the plot are under
Kibaha District.
Investigate further the geo-technical features of the site and the potential bottlenecks
for development of the area. This should be done for the areas between the TAZARA
and TRL line and for the area just North of the TRL line (near Tondoroni).
Execute an economic feasibility study to assess the wider economic effects of the
KFS in view of securing loans from financial institutions.
Review the rail shuttle track routing options in more detail in view of local terrain
conditions and track construction cost
Review the rail shuttle operations in more detail by assessing the port handling
platforms and rail operations (including the TICTS and berth 13/14 developments).
Agree on a Public Sector Agreement
Agree on a Financial Support Plan with the Development Partners
Design and implement Land Acquisition Strategy
Assess the affordability to TPA of proposed PPP options
Prepare the necessary legal and institutional concession framework for PPP after a
full economic feasibility study has been undertaken.

Annex J: Weighted Average Costs of Capital
(WACC) calculations
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 142
Cost of Capital
Introduction
In view of constrained government budgets, a key point of departure for this feasibility
study is to assume that capital expenditures will be privately financed as part of a PPP
(see next chapter). Private capital providers will require a return on the capital provided to
finance the investments. The required rate of return will reflect their perceived risk of the
investment.
The required rate of return for capital providers is commonly referred to as Weighted
Average Cost of Capital (WACC). The WACC is used to discount all cash flows over the
lifecycle of the investment (e.g. incoming cash flows or revenues and outgoing cash flows
such as capital and operational expenditures). The consequent net present value (NPV) of
these cash flows is to be considered as the value of the project. A negative NPV implies
that the project is not financially feasible (i.e. the cash flows are insufficient to provide
the capital providers a fair rate of return).
Essentially there are 2 basic forms of capital; equity and debt.
Debt is commonly provided through bank loans (alternatively through issuance of
bonds). The cost of debt is reflected by the interest rate charged by banks. These
interest expenses are tax deductible (i.e. operating income is reduced by interest
expenses before the income or profit tax is calculated).
Equity is provided by the shareholders. They are most at risk. Any incoming cash is
first used to pay operational expenditures, service the debt and settle the tax
liabilities. Any remaining cash can be distributed as dividend to the shareholders. If
cash is insufficient, the paid-in capital from the shareholders will be used to meet the
financial obligations. The required rate of return on equity will consequently be
higher than the required rate of return on debt.
The WACC can be summarized as follows:
t = corporate tax rate
D = debt
E = equity
k
e
= cost of equity

d
= cost of debt

WACC= k

+ (1-t)

Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 143
It is to be noted that assessing a WACC is not an exact science. Although most
practitioners agree on the principles of the methodology, it is subject to interpretation.
This sections aims to present a realistic cost of capital taking into account generally
accepted principles and project specific characteristics. It will firstly address the cost of
debt, secondly the cost of equity, thirdly the leverage being the ratio debt to equity
followed by a concluding summary of the WACC.
Capital Structure
PPPs will be financed with equity and debt. Equity represents an ownership claim on the
earnings and assets of a project. That is, after debt holders claims are paid, the
management of the company can either pay out the remaining earnings to equity holders
(project sponsors) in the form of dividends, or reinvest the earnings back into the project.
For infrastructure projects sponsors can be both public and private. Typically, leverage
(the proportion of debt in the total financing package) for infrastructure projects is high
because debt is cheaper than equity. The reason for this is twofold:
Debt providers have less risk than equity providers. Return on equity is based on
dividends and capital gain (increase in value of the shares). Equity providers will
receive dividends only after operating expenditures, debt service and taxes are
paid. When income is insufficient they will not receive any dividend. As for
capital gains this will depend on the ability to return dividends based on the
future cash flows. This is uncertain and this risk will be priced accordingly by the
equity providers;
Interest costs are tax deductable. The net cost of interest to a company is equal to
the interest payable minus the income tax percentage times the interest payable.
Having a proxy of the capital structure is essential in determining the cost of capital. It
enables the weighing of the respective costs of acquiring debt and equity capital,
combining them into a weighted average cost of capital. The contribution of debt
financing vs. equity financing to the company's capital structure is also known as gearing,
finance mix or leverage.
Based on international practices and taking into account the risk profile of the project and
the current circumstances in the financial sector, debt to capital is proposed to be 30
percent and equity to capital is proposed to be 70 percent.
Cost of Debt
The cost of debt is the interest rate the project company (or special purpose vehicle will
have to pay for its bank loans). Conventionally, the cost of debt is measured as the risk
free rate plus the debt premium; the latter being obtained as the credit spread over the
credit risk free security / reference rate:
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 144

d
= r
f
+ debt premium
k
d
= cost of debt
r
f
= risk free rate of return
To calculate the cost of debt for developing countries, the parameter country risk
premium, which varies by the countrys credit rating, is added to reflect the additional
return required to invest in these inherently riskier countries. The equation becomes:
2
k
d
= [(1 + r
f
) * (1 + CRM) 1 ] + debt premium
k
d
= cost of debt
r
f
= risk free rate of return
CRM = country risk premium
Accordingly, the cost of debt is a function of the risk free rate of return, the country risk
premium, and the debt premium.
Risk free rate of return
The risk-free rate is a theoretical construct defined as the rate of interest that can be
obtained by investing in financial instruments with no default risk. Since a truly risk-free
asset does not exist in practice, the yield on long-term government securities is usually
used as proxy for the risk free rate; US Treasury Bond rates are commonly chosen. These
securities are considered to be risk-free because the likelihood of this government
defaulting is extremely low.
In estimating the discount rate for Tanzania, the long-term yield on US Treasury Bonds,
is regarded as the representative approximation of the risk free rate of return.
The concession for the freight station is assumed to be approximately 25 years. For the
purpose the average yield for 20 and 30 year US Treasury Bonds is calculated
3
.
Average yield 20 year US Treasury Bond in January 2010 4,53%
Average yield 30 year US Treasury Bond in January 2010 4,62%
Hence, the assumed risk free rate for a long term concession in Tanzania is 4,6%
Country risk premium
Normally the country risk premium is assessed by the credit rating agencies in relation to
to a sovereign bond issuance of the respective country. Such a rating is not available for
Tanzania.
In order to approximate the country risk premium for Tanzania, the country risk premium
of countries with a comparable credit risk rating can be used. For this purpose two listings
have been used:

The average country risk premium of the peer group is 8%, which may be considered a
fair proxy for country risk profile of Tanzania.
Debt premium
The debt premium consists partly of a compensation of the systematic risk (debt beta) that
can be allocated to the funding on part of the lender. It forms a compensation for the
possibility of default and is, hence, determined by the creditworthiness of the issuer. As
the credit spread is directly related to the credit rating, the premium can be close to zero
for organizations with a high credit rating. However, the spread can be substantial for
organizations with a poor credit rating. The systematic risk for the debt providers is
defined by the risk profile of the issuer or in case of project finance by the project. To
approximate the risk profile of the project, the credits rating of companies acting in
comparable businesses have been used, most notably the port and rail industry as being
most relevant for a freight station.

In order to assess an appropriate credit spread based on the credit ratings in the industry,
the most recent credit spreads per rating category as set indicated by Standard& Poors
have been offset against the credit ratings in the industry.

Consequently the credit spread or debt premium for the CSF is approximated at 2,5%,
which is comparable to a BBB- rating, or the lowest investment grade though considered
adequate to meet financial commitments albeit subject to adverse economic conditions.

Taxation
The cost of debt as described is measured in before-tax terms. However, because interest
expense is deductible, the after-tax cost of debt should be used in calculating the discount
rate. The after-tax cost can, simply, be obtained by multiplying the before-tax cost by one
minus the corporate tax rate:

t = corporate tax rate

The corporate tax rate for Tanzania is 30%.

Based on the aforementioned parameters the nominal cost of debt can be calculated as

Cost of Equity
The cost of equity is the minimum rate of return a company must offer shareholders as
compensation for waiting for returns and for bearing risk. It reflects the shareholders
opportunity cost of investment. The required rate of return on equity can be approximated
by the so-called Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) as defined by Modigliani and
Miller. CAPM is based on the following formula.

Tanzania Investment Guide 2008 and Beyond
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 149
Accordingly, the cost of equity is a function of the risk free rate (as described) and a risk
premium. The core of the risk premium is the equity risk premium. The latter is a
function of the market risk premium and a company's equity beta (
E
), which, in turn, is a
function of both asset risk (
A
) and leverage.
The further substantiate the risk premium for equity providers the cost of equity also
includes a country risk premium (as already described upon assessing the cost of debt)
and a size premium.
The concept of a size premium is based on empirical evidence suggesting that smaller
size companies are riskier and, therefore, should have a higher cost of equity. This
phenomenon, that to some degree contradicts the CAPM, relies on the notion that smaller
companies risk is not entirely captured in their betas given limited trading volumes of
their stocks, making covariance calculations incorrect.
The equation becomes:

Equity market risk premium
The equity market risk premium (EMRP) reflects the return that must be provided over
and above the risk free rate to compensate equity suppliers for bearing market risk (i.e.
systematic risk). In other words, it is the difference between the risk-free rate and the
stock market rate. The EMRP derives from the volatility in the stock market, measured as
the standard deviation.
The global EMRP is, in accordance with long term expectations,
9
set to 4.%.
Systematic risk
Unsystematic risk affects a very specific group of securities or assets or even an
individual security or asset; can be eliminated by holding a diversified portfolio; and is
also know as idiosyncratic risk or diversifiable risk. Because this risk can be
diversified away, it is not priced in the market (i.e. investors do not receive compensation
for bearing it).

In accordance with finance expert Prof. Damoadaran (NYU) who states the expectation that risk premiums will revert back to
lower values (4 to 4.5 percent) in the long term. - http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 150
Systematic risk affects a broad range of securities and assets; refers to the movement of
the entire economy; cannot be avoided by diversification; and is, as such, also known as
market risk or un-diversifiable risk. Because this risk cannot be diversified away, it is
priced in the market (i.e. investors receive a premium for bearing it). Systematic risk is
not the same for all securities or assets though, different companies respond differently to,
for instance, a recession.
An often-used measure of the sensitivity of a stock or asset to systematic risk is the equity
beta (
E
). For a publicly traded company,
E
is measured by regressing its historical
returns (i.e. movements of its share price) on stock market index historical returns
(representing for market movements). The slope of the resulting regression line is the
beta.
For a company that is not publicly traded, however, only an approximate beta can be
obtained, by relying on information from publicly listed peers. Rather than simply
averaging the equity betas of the peer companies, the following steps are taken:
Selection of peer group companies;
Calculation of each peer companys asset beta (
A
) by unlevering its equity beta;
Using either the average or the median value of the unlevered betas of the peer
companies to obtain an estimate of the industry asset beta;
Relevering the industry asset beta to account for capital structure.
The logic of this procedure is as follows. Companies that compete in the same industry
are expected to face similar business risks. However, given that most firms are levered,
the estimates of equity betas that are publicly available reflect the combined effects of
business risk and financial risk. Asset betas only reflect the business risk, which is
expected to be common to all companies in the industry. So, when using information on
betas from a peer group, the business risk should be separated from the financial risk,
which will be specific to each company given its financial leverage. This can be done by
converting the equity betas (levered betas) into asset betas (unlevered betas) through the
following equation:
E
=
A
[1 + (1-T) (D/E)]
t = corporate tax rate
D/E = debt-equity ratio
E
= equity beta
A
= asset beta
For this study, companies from emerging markets that operate in the port, logistics,
engineering and rail transport sector are selected as comparables. Data on beta, debt-
equity ratio, and corporate tax rate for this peer group are derived from a publicly
available dataset.
10
The consequent average asset beta reflecting the systematic risk for a
freight station is 0.44.

Based on these figures, and given the assumed project debt-equity ratio of 30:70 and the
corporate tax rate of 30% in Tanzania, the equity beta for the KFS is calculated as 1.2.
Size premium
Because the total value of the investments for the CSF is relatively small in comparison to
the peer group and because the KFS is not publicly listed while the peers are, it is chosen
to add a size premium to the CAPM-based cost of equity. Ibbotson provides size premia
for companies based on their market capitalization (in USD)

Real WACC
Based on the capital structure and the nominal costs of debt and equity the nominal
WACC can be calculated. As the cash flow analysis is in real terms, i.e. unadjusted for
inflation, the real WACC has also been calculated as being the WACC to discount the
real cash flows. To obtain the real cost of debt the inflation component has to be stripped
out of the nominal cost of debt:
k
(real)
= [(1 + k
(nominal)
) / (1 + I
expected
)] 1
k
d (nominal)
= nominal cost of respective capital
k
d (real)
= real cost of respective capital
I

= expected inflation
As cash flows are in USD and as the risk free rate is based on US Treasury bonds the
expected LT US inflation rate is to be used. This is commonly estimated by economists
or US government. The most recent estimate that reflects the latest thinking on the US
economy reveals that the currently expected US inflation rate is 2.0%
12
. Aforementioned
inputs lead to the following calculation of the real WACC being 11.2%.

Annex K: Resettlement legislation and
compensation
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 156
The legal and institutional framework for the resettlement and compensation of persons to
be displaced in Tanzania contains the following Guidelines, Acts and Regulations.
1. Applicable Guidelines
The relevant national policies were briefly reviewed to provide guidance to the planning
for the project. The Constitution of Tanzania defines the legal context in which all aspects
of human development for Tanzanians, including land matters can operate. The
Constitution is the dominant law of the land and defines land ownership in Tanzania by
placing it under the custodianship of the President. Other matters follow from this main
law as defined in specific locations. Overall, the law must ensure that project activities
are undertaken in compliance with the policy requirements.
2. Land act No 4.1999
The Land Act (Section 156) requires that with regard to communal right of way in respect
of way-leave, compensation shall be paid to any person for use of land, who is in lawful
or actual occupation of that land, for any damage caused to crops or buildings and for the
land and materials taken or used for the works. Requirements for the assessment of
compensation are provided in the Land (Assessment of the Value of Land for
Compensation) Regulations of 2001. The valuation of the affected properties must be
done by a qualified and authorized valuator. Section 34 of that Act also states that where
a right of occupancy includes land which is occupied by persons under customary law,
and those persons are to be moved or relocated, they must be compensated for loss of
interest in the land and for other losses. They also have the right to reap crops that are
sown before any notice for vacating that land is given.
3. The Village Land Act No 5, 1999
The Village Land Act of 1999 confers the management and administration of village
lands to Village Councils, under the approval of the Village Assemblies, although the
Minister of Lands is entitled to decide on the amount of land which can be owned by a
single person or commercial entity.
Any person who wrongfully obstructs or encroaches on the public right of way and who
does not within the time specified in any notice served on him remove that obstruction or
cease that encroachment commits an offence and upon conviction is liable to a fine.
4. Land Acquisition Act 1967
Under the Land Acquisition Act, 1967, the President may, subject to the provisions of
this Act, acquire any land for any estate or term where such land is required for any
public purpose.
Land shall be deemed to be acquired for a public purpose where it is required, for
example, for exclusive Government use, for general public use, for any Government
scheme, for the development of agricultural land or for the provision of sites for
industrial, agricultural or commercial development, social services, or housing or; where
the President is satisfied that a corporation requires any land for the purposes of
construction of any work which in his opinion would be of public utility or in the public
interest or in the interest of the national economy, he may, with the approval, to be
signified by resolution of the National Assembly and by order published in the Gazette,
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 157
declare the purpose for which such land is required to be a public purpose and upon such
order being made such purpose shall be deemed to be a public purpose; or in connection
with the laying out of any new city, municipality, township or minor settlement or the
extension or improvement of any existing city, municipality, township or minor
settlement; etc.
Upon such acquisition of any Land, the President is compelled on behalf of the
Government to pay in respect thereof, out of moneys provided for the purpose by
Parliament, such compensation, as may be agreed upon or determined in accordance with
the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1967.
The President may also revoke a right of occupancy if in his opinion it is in public interest
to do so. Accordingly, the land for which a right of occupancy has been revoked reverts
to the Government for re-allocation pursuant to the existing need(s). It should also be
noted here that, though the land belong to the government some changes on the land act
has taken place. Land has value to the owner; therefore, any land taken from the user has
to be compensated. Based on this act the villagers affected by the project are claiming
that they should be compensated for the lost farms and land used for residential purposes.
5. National Land Use Planning Commission Act 3/ 1984
The act established a National Land Use Commission (NLUC) as the principal advisory
organ of the government on all matters related to land use. Among other things, it
recommends measures to ensure that the government policies, including those for
development and conservation of land, take adequate account of their effects on land use,
seek the advancement of scientific knowledge of changes in land use and encourage
development of technology to prevent, or minimize adverse effects that endanger human
mans health and welfare. The act also specifies standards, norms and criteria for the
protection of beneficial uses and the maintenance of the quality of the land.
6. The Grave Removal Act No 1968
Graveyard Removal Act of 1968 refers directly to grave removal and requirement for
compensation. The act says the owners of graves should be compensated and the remains
reburied else to pave way for development interventions.
7. The Land Assessment of the Value Compensation, Regulations 2001
These regulations provide criteria for the assessment of compensation on land, as per
market value for real property; disturbance allowance is calculated as a percentage of
market value of the acquired assets over twelve months; and transport allowance
calculated at the cost of 12 tons hauled over a distance not exceeding 20 km. The other
criteria includes loss of profit on accommodation based on business audited accounts and
accommodation allowance equivalent to the rent of the acquired property per month over
a 36 month period.
Regulations made under S 179, (the Land Assessment of the value of land for
Compensation) Regulations, 2001 and which became operational in May 2001 provide
assessment of compensation on land to be based on the following:
Market value of the real property;
Disturbance allowance which is a percentage of market value of the acquired over 12
months;
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 158
Transport allowance calculated as the cost of 12 tons hauled over a distance not
exceeding 20 km;
Loss of profit or accommodation based on business audited accounts;
Accommodation allowance which is equivalent to the rent of the acquired property
per month over 36 months period;
Methodology of valuation of the lost assets, mode of payment, dispute resolution
mechanisms;
Agencies responsible for expropriation and implementing resettlement (including an
assessment of their institutional capacity to conduct those activities);
Gaps, if any, between national laws and other donor agencies and the mechanisms to
bridge those gaps.
8. Involuntary Settlement (World Bank OP 4.12) 2001
The World Bank operational Policy on Involuntary resettlement acknowledges that
development projects that displace people generally gives rise to economic, social and
environmental problems. The Bank guidelines prescribe measures to minimize the
negative impacts and ensure that the displaced community benefits from the project.
Therefore the policy requires that displaced people should be:
Compensated for their losses at full replacement costs prior to the actual move;
Assisted with the move and supported during the transition period in the resettlement
site;
Assisted in their effort to improve their former living standards, income earning
capacity and production levels or at least restore them;
Integrated socially and economically in the host communities so that adverse impacts
in the hoist communities are minimized. The best way of achieving this integration is
for resettlement to be planned through consultation involving affected people.
In addition, land, housing, infrastructure and other compensation should be provided to
the adversely affected population, indigenous groups, ethnic minorities, and pastoral
people who may have usufruct or customary rights to the land and other resources taken
for the project. The absence of legal title to land by such groups should not be a bar to
compensation.
The existing policies, land laws and regulations regarding land acquisition and
compensation in Tanzania are consistent with the World Bank Operational Guidelines.
Therefore, compensation issues could still be handled within the existing regulations
without contradicting the World Bank Policy requirements. However, since the road
construction works for this project will be confined within the existing right-of-way and
no significant damage to properties will be expected from the rehabilitation works.
9. The National Land Policy 1995
The land policy stipulates that all land is public land, vested in the president as a trustee,
and that this should be entrenched in the constitutions. The National Land Policy (1995)
provides that a dual system of tenure, which recognizes both customary and statutory
right of occupancy as being equal in law be established. The policy further establishes
that the land has value, which right and interests of citizens in land shall not be taken
without due process of law and that full, fair and prompt compensation shall be paid,
when land is acquired. The compensation should be paid to any person whose right of
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 159
occupancy or recognized long standing occupation or customary use of land is revoked or
otherwise interfered with to their detriment by the State under the Land Act of 1999.
According to the policy, the administration of village land is vested in the village
councils. Village councils have to consent before any alienation of village land is
effected. In case of land allocations, village councils shall report to respective village
assemblies. The land in the towns is governed the either by City, Municipal or Town
Council.
In principle the Minister responsible for land matters is the sole authority in land issues.
But the policy involves the public and private institutions whose functions are associated
with lands i.e. local authorities, communities, non-governmental organizations and
community based development organizations to participate and co-operate with the
minister at different levels during the implementation of the policy and utilization of land.
To address the problem of multiple land allocation, and its resultant disputes, the
Commissioner for Lands, is the delegated sole authority for administration of land. He
may appoint officers to administer on behalf.
10. National Human Settlement Policy
Among others, the policy objectives that touch the road sector are to improve the level of
the provision of infrastructure and social services for sustainable human settlements
development and to make serviced land available for shelter and human settlements
development in general to all sections of the communities. The infrastructure and services
constitute the backbone of urban/rural economic activities. All weather roads, reliable and
efficient transport system are essential to increase productivity and establishment of
manufacturing industries. The policy promotes the development of human settlement that
is sustainable. It also geared to improve the provision of infrastructure and social services
for sustainable human settlement development.

Annex L: Valuation of assets
Prefeasibility study Kisarawe Freight station 164
1. Valuation of assets
The affected property need to be inspected value provided. Objective of valuation of the
properties will to determine replacement cost and market value for compensation
purposes. Local government authorities informed local communities of the intended RAP
activities and the possibility of relocating residents.
In carrying out field surveys the Valuer will at all times accompanied by a local leader i.e.
Executive Officer (VEO) and or Village Chairperson who identified the property owners,
confirm the boundaries shown by the owner and certified on the field sheets of the count
of property.
In brief, the following will be done:
Identification of assets affected by the project and their respective owners;
Survey team also compiled a detailed inventory of the types, sizes and conditions of
the land and assets of each affected households, business or entity and determined the
value of compensation to be paid to each household for affected land, assets and loss
of income sources;
Assigning Reference Number to each of the identified case in a pink card;
Taking notes of the identified properties (buildings) and other assets on a pre-
prepared inspection sheet;
Taking measurements of the land and inspection of the buildings with help of the land
surveying team;
Ensuring that all entries on the inspection sheets are counter checked and signed by
the local leaders and the property owners in the respective location results of survey
and valuation exercise will be presented to Ministry of Land and Urban development
in valuation report, therefore, provided the principal sources of information on the
number and location of affected properties, the number and categories of the affected
households, the nature and magnitudes of losses and displacement, the methods used
for valuing land, assets and loss of income and assessing compensation and the
amount of compensation to be paid.
2. Basis of Valuation
Valuation Methods to adopt was guided by provisions of the Land Act No. 4 of 1999 and
financer terms of reference, e.g. The Replacement Cost Method and market valuer was
used.
As indicated before, in valuing properties along the Songea-Namtumbo Road, the
Replacement Cost Method of Valuation has been adopted, this method is sometimes
known as the Contractors Test Method of Valuation. In this method, the value of an asset
is determined by reference to the cost of replacing or reinstating it (as new) or that of its
substitute. Where the asset/property is not new the replacement cost is then depreciated to
derive at depreciated replacement cost which is equivalent to a market Value.
However, for the purpose of this exercise we have also adopted the MCC and World
Bank requirements as detailed in the Terms of Reference (ToR) that the compensation
Prefeasibility Study Kisarawe Freight station 165
value is obtained from the Replacement Cost added with allowances. A rate of
construction per meter square was obtained from the office of respective District Valuer.
In the case of crops, a list of prices was obtained from Songea municipal council which
was updated. Land measurements were in square meters.
3 Computation of the Various Allowances
Disturbance Allowance
Disturbance Allowance is payable as a percentage of real property value in compliance to
the provisions of Act No. 4 of 1999. The percentage is the average commercial bank rates
offered on fixed deposits. From data obtained from the various financial institutions in
Tanzania the average rate on fixed deposits is 4% per annum.
Loss of profit
In accordance with section 9 of the 2001 Regulations of land act no. 4 of 1999 the net
monthly profit obtained from the business associated with the affected properties is
assessed (for high incomes), evidenced by audited accounts where necessary and
applicable, and multiplied by 36 months in order to arrive at the loss of profit payable.
This calculation applies also for such businesses that are only temporarily affected during
the projects construction phase. In case PAP fail to produce the audited account, then
there is no loss of profit can be paid.
Loss of accommodation
The Tanzanian law requires an accommodation allowance to be paid to the claimants to
support them to afford to pay monthly market rent for an alternative accommodation
during the period of constructing an alternative accommodation. In accordance with
section 8 of the 2001 Regulations of Land Act 4 of 1999, accommodation allowance is
calculated on the basis of monthly rent multiply by 36.
Replacement costs are categorized separately from houses, structures, crops and trees.
Sites for relocation are to be identified. In most cases this will involve stepping back
within the same plot, rather than total relocation. Assistance to vulnerable groups like
aged people, widow, orphans, single mothers are provided form of assistance.
Additional to the above the affected people are required to be paid transport allowances
as well as money to transport their luggage.
