As
we consolidate our turnaround mission, we are delighted to announce the
conclusion of an Agreement with African Fossils Limited of Tanzania to
move 18 million litres (18,000 metric tones) of petroleum products to
the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the next one year.
The
first consignment of about one million litres (1,000 metric tones) has
already departed the Port of Dar es Salaam and we are confident that the
initial two million litres (2,000 metric tones) will be successfully
delivered to the DRC within the next one month.
This
import order is particularly key because it fulfills our desire to
balance the flow of traffic in both directions of our line as most of
the traffic we are currently moving comprises exports from Zambia and
DRC.
The
fuel order is the second import consignment to be secured within a
month, following the transportation order for 48 million litres (48,000
metric tones) of petroleum destined for Malawi.
Our target for this financial year ending 30 June 2017
is 381,000 metric tones, a three-fold improvement from 130,000 metric
tones that we have recently hauled in the just ended 2015/2016 Financial
Year.
We
are grateful to African Fossils Limited for giving us a vote of
confidence through this order, which also reaffirms the faith that our
customers have generally placed in us to transform the Authority.
We
believe we are well on course to turnaround TAZARA’s performance, which
had dropped to the lowest in the Financial Year 2014/2015, when a paltry
87,680 metric tones was transported.
