The project supports operationalisation of the Single African Air Transport Market by addressing the infrastructure and airspace-management constraints that limit safe, efficient and competitive air transport. It covers both physical aviation infrastructure, including airports and air-navigation systems, and the institutional and technical architecture required for a seamless African airspace. The master plan is expected to consolidate national and regional plans, forecast traffic and capacity needs, identify infrastructure gaps, prioritise investments and develop an implementation roadmap. The seamless airspace component is intended to promote harmonised procedures, performance-based navigation, flexible routes, common surveillance-code arrangements and interoperable CNS/ATM systems. The African Union Commission and AFCAC are the principal continental institutions, working with ICAO, regional economic communities, air-navigation service providers, civil-aviation authorities and industry stakeholders. All African Union member states are beneficiaries. A continent-wide aviation infrastructure gap analysis was completed and validated in 2023. Official ICAO and AFCAC reporting in 2024-2026 indicates that its results are being used to refine the air-navigation master strategy and identify bankable national and regional projects. The 2026 AU Assembly still called for mobilisation of financing for development of the Continental Aviation Infrastructure Master Plan.

This project entails the deepening, widening and lengthening of Berths 203 to 205 at DCT. The berths will be lengthened from 914m to 1210m and deepened from -12.8m CD to -16.5mCD. These berths would be able to handle 3 x 350m Super Post-Panamax vessels of up to 12 000TEU capacity and with drafts of 14.5m. The current berths are inadequate to meet the demands of major container lines. Additional Capacity: Design capacity is 2.9 m TEU"’s. The objective of the project is to sustain current business.

This project entails reclamation of 21 ha between Pier 1 and Salisbury Island, and a long term lease of 8.6 ha of SA Navy land. The Navy base will be consolidated onto a more efficient footprint. The Infill option will deliver three deep water berths. Two berths on the diagonal and one around the corner. The terminal will be equipped with RTGs and STS cranes. The current strategy to increase container handling capacity at the Port of Durban is to proceed with the Pier 1 Phase 2 Infill option after FEL-3 completion and upon obtaining an approved EA. This option will utilise two deep water diagonal berths ( water depth of 16,5m) and a deepened Berth 104 with an infill area, the TNPA land behind Berths 99/100 and the SA Navy land. Additional Capacity: 1.7 m TEU"’s (2.4 m TEU"’s by 2027 therefore in the 27/28 FY).

The Durban Gauteng corridor is the most significant General Freight corridor in the South African rail system. It connects the Port of Durban and the proposed DDOP (Durban Dig-out Port) to Gauteng. About 27 mtpaof 87 mtpaGF in 2014/15 was transported on this corridor, of which 8.9 mtpawere containers, (mainly import and export) via Port of Durban. The Transnet FDM indicates tonnages up to 105 mtpaon the corridor by 2046, (30 year forecast). Containerisedtraffic will account for more than 50% of this tonnage by 2046. Demand is expected to exceed capacity on this corridor from 2026. Even with operational efficiency improvements at that stage, extra capacity is required from 2029. Capacity is firstly added by shorter headways (block splits), then by moving to 75-wagon container trains, and then by moving to 150-wagon DP container trains & 100-wagon DP GFB trains. The Gauteng Freight Ring also requires doubling of single-line sections. All sections require electrical upgrades, and bypassing of certain PRASA sections (Union-City Deep, Skansdamlink, Cato Ridge Bypass link, Rosslyn link) Development Strategy Supporting intermodal growthThe Sub-Programmesare: -NATCOR -Gauteng Rail Freight Ring -Gauteng Hubs and Terminals -Durban Port and Rail Terminals

The One - Stop - Border - Post (OSBP) is juxtaposed. Offices in Burundi and Tanzania are located in each country at a certain distance from the borderline. In offices, the different Officers (from both countries) are seated side by side and all sevices are done simultaneously.The construction of all offices in Burundi and Tanzania has been funded by Trade Mark Africa.

~~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.
