JAPAN PORT CONSULTANTS, LTD. The Preparatory Survey on the Project for Reinforcement of Maritime Transport Capacity between Djibouti and Tadjourah Final Report Preface Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) decided to conduct the preparatory survey and entrust the survey to Joint Venture for Preparatory Survey on Reinforcement of Maritime Transport at Gulf of Tadjourah consist of The Overseas Coastal Area Development Institute of Japan, SANKYO TECNOCO., LTD and JAPAN PORT CONSULTANTS, LTD.. The survey team held a series of discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Republic of Djibouti, and conducted field investigations. As a result of further studies in Japan, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Republic of Djibouti for their close cooperation extended to the survey team. August 2019 Itsu Adachi Director General, Infrastructure and Peacebuilding Department Japan International Cooperation Agency The Preparatory Survey on the Project for Reinforcement of Maritime Transport Capacity between Djibouti and Tadjourah Final Report Summary 1. Background and History of Project The Republic of Djibouti is located in the "Horn of Africa" facing the Gulf of Aden that connects the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. The strategic importance of this area is highlighted by the fact that 18,000 vessels pass through each year on their way to Europe, the Middle East and East Asia. Moreover, Djibouti Port is the only gateway port for Ethiopia, a large country with a population of around 92 million. A ferry route is operated between the capital city Djibouti and the city of Tadjourah and Obock on the northern coast via the Gulf of Tadjourah. The existing ferry which was provided by Japan went into operation on December 10, 2009; there are four weekly services between Djibouti and Tadjourah and two weekly services between Djibouti and Obock. As the ferry is often fully-booked with passengers and vehicles, it has become necessary to increase capacity. In addition, ferry service is often interrupted during the Khamsin season from July to August due to high wind speeds of 5-10 m/s on average. Land transport to Djibouti, Tadjourah and Obock involves lengthy detours around the Gulf of Tadjourha. In addition, there are many Wadi (dry valleys) in the middle of the road which make the road dangerous to use during seasons when there are heavy rains. Therefore, ferry service is vital for the transport of residents, vehicles and cargo, and at the same time it is a lifeline for the northern region. While the population of approximately 530,000 is concentrated in the capital city Djibouti located in the south, the northern area has a low population density; moreover, the development of road networks has been delayed due to the many mountainous areas and thus the transport of daily necessities such as food, fuel, and water has become a major issue. The 5-year (2015-2019) Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Promotion of Employment (SCAPE) is expected to spearhead the medium-term implementation of "Djibouti Vision 2035," the national development plan. The first pillar of SCAPE is “economic growth through development of economic infrastructure and enhancement of private sector competitiveness”. In the transport sector, the key strategy is to strengthen the domestic transport network by addressing regional gaps and at the same time to strengthen the international transport network. “The project for reinforcement of maritime transport capacity between Djibouti and Tadjourah” which includes the procurement of a new ferry with high operational capacity and berthing facilities to respond to the increasing transport demand and enable navigation during the Khamsin season is consistent with the aims of SCAPE (i.e., promoting regional development and strengthening the domestic transport network to correct regional economic disparities). 2. Survey Result and Project Outline JICA dispatched a team for the Preparatory Survey on the Project for Reinforcement of Maritime Transport Capacity between Djibouti and Tadjourah (hereinafter referred to as the “Survey team”) to Djibouti from June 29 to October 14, 2018. The survey team discussed and reconfirmed with the Government of Djibouti the contents of the project The Preparatory Survey on the Project for Reinforcement of Maritime Transport Capacity between Djibouti and Tadjourah Final Report through the field survey. The Government of Djibouti requested that the new ferry vessel be operational during the Khamsin season and capable of carrying 250 passengers as well as the development of new ferry berthing facilities at Djibouti and Tadjourah. The survey team proposed to JICA a plan for the new ferry and ferry berthing facilities at both Djibouti and Tadjourah based on analysis in Japan following the survey in Djibouti. The specifications of the new ferry, berthing facilities, boarding facilities as well as required reclamation works, construction method, procurement plan, project management plan, project schedule and a cost estimate were determined based on the results of field investigations. JICA then dispatched the survey team to discuss the results of the Preparatory survey including the basic design of the Project and the obligations of both parties with the government of Djibouti from May 24th to 31st, 2019. The government of Djibouti agreed to the basic design and obligations of both parties. An outline of the Project is shown in Table 1. Table 1: Outline of contents and scale of the Project Description Item Configuration and Dimensions Equipment Supply New Ferry Overall Length 49.95m、Width 11.0m、Full Draft 2.5m、 Passenger 250 seats、Car on board 20 car、Deadweight 240t、Boarding ramp：Bow and Stern 2Nos Facility (Djibouti) Reclamation Area Approx.9,600m2、Planned Elevation +3.5mCD Dredging Dredging volume 76,000m3、 Planned Dredging Depth -3.5m CD、 Mooring Dolphin Steel Pile type 3 Dolphins、Planned Elevation +3.5mCD Floating Pontoon Steel Pontoon 1 Nos、Width 11.0m、length 18.0m、 Access Ramp Steel made type 1Nos、Width 5.6m (Effective width 5.0m）、Length 22.1m Bollard 3 Nos、150kN type Corrosion 50 year type anode Protection Catwalk Steel structure、Width 0.9m、Length 10.5mx2 Nos、 10.7mx1No. Navigation Light 3 Nos、 Facility (Tadjourah) Reclamation Area Approx.5,300m2、Planned Elevation +3.8mCD Dredging Dredging volume 12,000m3、 Planned Dredging Depth -3.5mCD、 Breakwater Sloping stone dyke、Length 160m、Planned Elevation +3.7mCD Mooring Dolphin Steel Pile type 3 Dolphins、Planned Elevation +3.5mCD Floating Pontoon Steel Pontoon 1 Nos、Width 11.0m、length 18.0m Access Ramp Steel made type 1Nos、Width 5.6m (Effective width 5.0m）、Length 22.1m The Preparatory Survey on the Project for Reinforcement of Maritime Transport Capacity between Djibouti and Tadjourah Final Report Bollard 3 Nos、150kN type Corrosion 50 year type anode Protection Catwalk Steel structure、Width 0.9m、Length 10.5mx2 Nos、 10.7mx1No. Navigation Light 2 Nos、 3. Project Implementation Schedule and Rough Cost Estimation Estimated implementation period is 25.0 months including the tender process (9 months for Detailed Design for Civil Engineering works, 6 months for equipment procurement) and 14.5 months construction works and 19 months for new ferry procurement. Initial Project Cost is estimated at 4,368 million yen in total (of which the Japanese side bears 3,943 million yen and Djibouti side 425 million yen). 4. Project Evaluation （１）Validity of the Project The validity of the implementation of the Project as a Japanese grant aid project is evaluated from the following points. ① Benefit of the Project The existing ferry (150-passenger) service consists of 6 round sailings a week (4 round sailings between Djibouti and Tadjourah and 2 round sailings between Djibouti and Obock), but after the introduction of the new ferry (250-passenger capacity), ferry service between Djibouti and Obock will increase to 6 times a week except for the Khamsin season while new ferry can be operated year-round, six times a week between Djibouti and Tadjourah. In the future, it may be possible to operate 2 round sailings per day with the new ferry. Therefore, the number of beneficiaries will increase to several times compared with the current operation. Accordingly, the benefit effect will become great. ② Consistency with the National Plan The Strategy of Accelerated Growth and Promotion of Employment (SCAPE) states that one of the planning targets for port development and maritime transport is to establish modern a transport means to meet the demands for the movement

  • Djibouti Bishop Happy That Mogadishu Cathedral Ruins Are Helping Somalis
    Djibouti bishop happy that Mogadishu cathedral ruins are helping Somalis NAIROBI, Kenya – Djibouti Bishop Giorgio Bertin, who oversees Catholics in neighboring Somalia, said he is happy that the ruins of Mogadishu’s only Catholic cathedral are housing hundreds of displaced Somalis. “In Mogadishu there are hundreds of camps for displaced people. The cathedral area is one of them,” the bishop said in an email interview. “I think that at least 300 could easily fit in, but I have no real figures.” The U.N. officially has declared a famine in parts of Somalia, including the internally displaced communities in Mogadishu, the Somali capital. More than 100,000 Somalis poured into the capital searching for food within a two-month period this summer. Somalia has had a civil war since 1991, and the famine-hit areas are plagued by a lack of security because of a weak central government and the presence of various political factions that control parts of the country. The instability and resulting violence severely limit the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis have fled to Kenya. Bishop Bertin said the best solution would be to help the displaced people within Somalia, “but the problem is often that where they are either they are unsafe or we cannot reach them.” In 1989, Italian-born Bishop Pietro Salvatore Colombo of Mogadishu was killed at his cathedral. After the murder, the Vatican eliminated the post and now oversees Somalia through neighboring Djibouti. “The cathedral has not been used since Jan. 9, 1991, when it was ransacked” and set on fire, said Bishop Bertin.
