  • An Enterprise Map of Tanzania
    An Enterprise Map Enterprise Map An Enterprise Map of In the first decade of the new millennium, Tanzania’s gross domestic product doubled in real terms, making it one of the handful of sub-Saharan economies that have shown strong and sustained growth in recent years. This growth was, moreover, broad based, with manufacturing output growing slightly faster than the Tanzania economy as a whole. To maintain this rate of growth over the next decade, Tanzania’s industrial Tanzania of capabilities will need to advance in a quite substantial way. The foundations for this advance lie in the current capabilities of Tanzania’s industrial companies. The purpose of this volume is to set out a detailed description, industry by industry, of those capabilities. Along the way, we explore a series of questions. Sutton/Olomi • Where did Tanzania’s current industrial capabilities originate? • To what extent are Tanzanian firms held back by problems of access to land? • Will it be possible to successfully integrate Tanzanian companies into the supply chains of the oil and gas sector? This is the third volume in John Sutton’s ‘Enterprise Map’ series, which profiles the industrial capabilities of selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Volumes on Ethiopia and Ghana have already appeared. The forthcoming fourth volume will be on Zambia.

  • Tree Species Used in Historical Shipbuilding and Their Risk of Being Attacked by Teredinidae
    Tree species used in historical shipbuilding and their risk of being attacked by Teredinidae Johann Müller Abstract - This paper gives an idea of the range, biodiversity and mechanism of the bore-worm, whose fast work of destruction could especially be observed at an artificial shipwreck. Conclusions as for archaeology are drawn (see also summary at the end of the paper). Inhalt - Der Beitrag gibt einen Einblick in Verbreitung, Artenvielfalt und Wirkungsweise der Bohrmuschel, de- ren schnelles Zerstörungswerk besonders an einem künstlichen Wrack beobachtet werden konnte. Folgerungen für die Archäologie werden gezogen. Tree species used for boat- and shipbuilding In historical naval architecture and construction the tree species used (number of kinds unknown) varied, depending on availability and suitability. Usually the timber for ship- and boatbuilding was taken from regional forests nearby. Larger vessels for the high seas were generally built at places near the coast, using rivers for transporting the wood from inland areas to the coast. If the required kinds of wood were unavailable in their own homeland, the shipbuilders of the sea powers procured the timber from countries far away, usually transporting it by sea. The selective demand for special kinds of wood led to karst formation in entire regions as there was no controlled forestry taking care of replanting of trees. A typical example is the Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani ) whose wood was used as early 5 000 years ago. As a result of overcutting, the formerly numerous cedar stands one to two thousand meters high-up in the mountain regions of Lebanon vanished 1. Cedar timber from Lebanon was shipped particularly to Egypt 2.
