Container transportation law in the offing

-
Speaking during a stakeholders’ meeting on collecting views on the draft, SUMATRA Director General, Mr Gilliard Ngewe said that the draft will help to come up with guidelines that will help to determine the weight of cargo carried by ships.
The draft will help to meet all criteria of transportation of containers at the port. Today, we are discussing how to improve the draft that is expected effective July next year as directed by International Maritime Organization (IMO).
He said that the meeting will get feedback and suggestions from various stakeholders including transportation agents, port agents, measurement agents and customs agents among others.
He asked transporters to comply with the new draft that will help to increase income for the nation and at the same time improving Maritime Transportation security. He said that the draft will help to ensure that all containers carrying cargo has the required weight that will also help other nations to increase freight through our ports and the law will increase efficiency.
In other development, the ‘Daily News’ yesterday conducted a snap survey at Ubungo Bus Terminal and realized that operators have hiked fares especially for buses destined for lake regions such as Mwanza and Kagera.
For buses going to Arusha and Moshi the fare is still the same as they start from 22,000/- to 28,000/- per trip. Contacted for comment, the Manager of Ubungo Bus Terminal was not ready to discuss this issue.
However, the SUMATRA General Director has urged all travellers not to pay hiked fares but insist on paying those approved by SUMATRA. He said that SUMATRA has also increased over 30 buses operating Moshi and Arusha routes to improve transportation during the holiday

Wikiendi hii msimu wa Ligi Daraja la Kwanza 2015/16, unatarajiwa kuhitimishwa kwa kuchezwa mechi 12 katika viwanja tofauti huku timu zote 24 zikishuka dimbani, zipo zinazosaka pointi muhimu huku nyingine zikikamilisha ratiba tu kwani hazina cha kupoteza. Tayari Ruvu Shooting kutoka Kundi B, imeshajikatia tiketi ya kucheza Ligi Kuu Bara msimu ujao, huku JKT Kanembwa iliyokuwa Kundi C ikiwa ni timu ya kwanza kushuka daraja. Vita iliyobaki ni ya kutafuta nafasi ya kuungana na Ruvu Shooting na nyingine ni ile ya kuepuka kuifuata JKT Kanembwa. Katika vita ya kupanda, African Lyon inaongoza Kundi A ikiwa na pointi 26, inafuatiwa na Friends Rangers yenye pointi 23 sawa na Ashanti United inayoshika nafasi ya tatu, lakini tofauti ya mabao ya kufunga na kufungwa ndiyo inayowatenganisha. Mechi zao za mwisho, African Lyon vs Ashanti na Friends vs Kiluvya United, hivyo basi endapo Friends ikiibuka na ushindi na Lyon ikapoteza basi Friends inapanda, lakini ...
