24. Import Of 9 Locomotives From Tanzania to Durban For Transnet
Transnet in conjunction with Spoornet International Joint Ventures, leased 10 ,32 class locomotives
to Tanzania railways corporation for a period of 10 years.
The lease had expired and therefore these locomotives had to be returned. Unfortunately these
locomotives were impounded and set alight by the government entities and only after a successful
court order which took 5 years ,were these locomotives released .
All nine locomotives were pre staged on rail tracks about 5 km from the harbour.
Only 1 locomotive at a time was shunted into the harbour and loaded onto the vessel. The wharfs
in Tanzania could not take the weights of these locomotives.
Each loco weighed about 220 tons including the bogeys.
All nine locomotives were loaded on board the chartered break-bulk vessel, but it took 5 days to
load the vessel,due to weight restrictions at the Wharf.
Spoornet technicians were on hand to receive the vessel to assist with the unloading.
All 9 locomotives were then shunted to the local depot, where they were hitched to a live
locomotive and hauled to the refurbishment plant in Bloemfontein.
The total value of this project was ZAR 4.3 million
