Kalemie Port Upgrading

This project aims to put at the disposal of the sub region a big capacity regarding transport of goods and people by making efficient the infrastructures of Kalemie port. The very project will mainly consist of the following works : Dredging of maritime docking areas of ships of the port of Kalemie, The acquisition and installation of beaconing equipment of the maritime area of the port of Kalemie, Repairing of the wall of the port de Kalemie quay Improving the earth of the port of Kalemie, Mending of petroleum piers at the port of Kalemie The acquisition of port cranes at Kalemie in replacement of those existing which are in a very bad state ; The Repairingand construction of warehouses at Kalemie ; Improving the road giving access to the port of Kalemie ; The rehabilitation of the dry dock and of a slip way for the port of Kalemie ; Repairing of foot bridge for passengers.

DESCRIPTION

~~At this stage , the project does require a feasibility study in order to define to the attention of the investor ,all aspects regarding the project namely economic , social, technical and environmental.
This port was built during colonial rule by  1928 and since then big rehabilitation works had never taken place ; its infrastructures are nowadays in a very dilapidation state as described below :
The port of Kalemie is managed by the DRC Railways company « SNCC » .The maintenance of seawalls, du chenal d’accès, des jetées  is under the supervision of «  la Régie des Voies Fluviales, RFV». The main activity of the port is linked to railways traffic.
The port consists of a mole of 383,5 m moving toward the lake :
On the internal side, there is a appontement in an armed concreteof 9,5m width,
On the external side, embankments andrip- rapsdo protect the structure against theswells.
The port does also have a dry dock which is in operations, but we do have a lot of difficulties regarding its functioning ie a launching longitudinal  slipway has not been used since 1974 because of a very badstate and the hydrocarbon jetée is partially destroyed and currently out of service .
These structures are deteriorated and no longer offer conditions regarding security for port activities.
The port being located on the Northern side of the l’embouchure of Kalemie river, the courseof sand being brought by the river from south to north is being felt under the l’influence of dominant wind moving from south-east to theendand inside the pier. The overhanging of sand dangerously decreases the width on the entrance to the port , influencing by that also theanchorage . This quantity of sand can be estimated to ± 400.000m3.
All these deteriorated structures together with port cranes lead to a big bottleneckthat greatly reduces the corridor evacuation capacity.
