Libya - 2 Libya Logistics Infrastructure

Generally, Libya suffers from the absence of sophisticated management that uses the appropriate means for obtaining data. Moreover, the lack of systematic and organised statistics has led to a noticeable failure in the transportation facilities and insufficient investments in infrastructure financed by the Libyan Central government. Decision and policy making require intensive amount of data and complex analyses.

The national logistics infrastructure has been suffering from the war and the instable situation mainly due to lack of security guarantees in Libya, however there is still a good infrastructure available in the big cities: Tripoli, Misratah, and Benghazi…etc.

There are governmental plans in place to improve the infrastructure in Libya such as:

Implementing 400km coastal road project.
Plans for a new railway network is still under construction. There is no progress on it due to security issues.
Plans for a large power capacity expansion programme.
Investment in infrastructure by the foreign and private investors is still unthinkable because of the current absence of stability.

In 31st Aug 21, Prime Minister of GNU announced to launch of the development programme for the last quarter of 2021 under the name ‘‘Reviving Life’’, projects will target roads, schools, hospitals, clinics, digging water wells, installing desalination plants, and others.

In Aug 2021, the coastal road from Tripoli to Benghazi was reopened for public signalling a major unity indicator between the factions in the east and West. The road link Tunisian and Egyptian border crossing through Libya.

Discharge Rates and Terminal Handling Charges

The port tariffs as advised by the Port Management to be low compared to the other ports of the region, there is an inherited concept of cross government subsidy.

On one hand the lower port rates endeavour to ensure and keep the costs of the landed commodities to Libya at an affordable rate (debatable as Libya is an expensive country), however conversely, there is no mechanism in the rates structure or operating budgets to include a percentage for the purchase of equipment, structured maintenance and as important the development through training of the human capital. The tariffs are very low, being established back to the 1980s, however, the below table illustrates open yard container storage tariff in Libyan ports in 2020.

Libya - 2.3 Libya Road Network

September 2023 Floods - Temporary information

Info as of 14 September 2023.

The Roads and Bridges Authority announced the damaged road network is estimated at 30 kilometers around Derna and the closure of the roads connecting Shahat and Mansoura to Souss; Qasr Libya and Marawa; and the road connecting Ras Al-Hilal and the city of Derna. The roads passing through Qasr Libya, Al Baydah, Shahat and Ras Al Hilal areas have been affected by landslides in the hilly areas. Alternate routes are available, but while they are not easily passable for trucks, one of our partners was able to move larger trucks with medical supplies from Tripoli to Derna. Authorities are trying to open access to facilitate rescue and aid missions.

Libya Roads

The road network density is generally satisfactory, the total length of Libya's paved road network is about 34,000 km, of which about 15,500 km primary roads, the secondary and agricultural road network is about at 18,500 km. The highway network is classified into four main roadway types:

Expressways: Roads arteries outside municipal borders linking the cities and regions with two carriage ways and at least four lanes (two lanes or more in each direction).

Main roads: Roadways linking cities and regions, or serving cities within municipal boundaries, there are single carriageway roads for good paved standard or dual carriage ways with 2 lanes in each direction.

Secondary roads: These link district centers and villages.

Agricultural roads: Roads linking agricultural land and farms with markets.

Many rural roads are unpaved. Major highways along the seacoast and leading south merge into single lane. highways once they are outside major cities. These roads are heavily trafficked and can be precarious to navigate, especially at night and during the winter rainy season. The presence of sand deposits, as well as domestic and wild animals that frequently cross these highways and rural roads, makes them even more hazardous.

Most of road networks renovations and constructing new projects has been suspended due to the security situation in Libya, and the government is studying all potential means to resume developing road network projects.

The security situation and power struggle in country are considered the main challenges to establish a new transport projects and develop and improve the current road network.

Road Security

The availability of roadside assistance is extremely limited and offered only in arabic. In urban areas and near the outskirts of major cities there is a greater possibility of assistance by police and emergency ambulance services, although emergency care providers are usually ill-equipped to deal with serious injuries or accidents. Very few streets are marked or have signage, and highway signs are normally available only in Arabic. Various militias have supplanted the police in maintaining internal security. An armed group usually operating checkpoints within and between major cities.

Road travel within Libya remains highly dangerous. There continues to be a risk of being caught up in outbreaks of hostilities. There’s also a high risk of carjacking and robbery.

All movements (especially travelling) should be carefully planned; roads assessment and security arrangement should be done prior to any movement. The areas have been divided into zones (green zone, yellow zone, and red zone) by UNDSS, and movement rules for each zone has been identified.

Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits

All loaded trucks coming through the borders and from the ports should weigh both axle weights and gross vehicle weights. This helps to stop axle overloading, that roads in Libya suffer from. Breaking the regulations of and load limits are subject to heavy fines.

Libya - 2.3.1 Libya Border Crossing of Ras Ajdir

Overview

Ras Ajdir is the main and most dynamic border between Tunisia and Libya. Most of the humanitarian aids and commercial shipments between Tunisia and Libya go through this border.

On Friday, September 17, 2021, the border crossing between Libya and Tunisia reopened after a closure that lasted for more than two months, because of an agreement between the Tunisian and Libyan authorities on health arrangements in relation to preventing infection from the Corona virus.

We also stress that the movement is very slow through the crossing, due to the COVID19 protocol that is imposed by the two countries in their recent agreement on reopening the borders, which require that travellers from both sides have completed vaccination with the obligation to present a negative PCR analysis, and in the absence of this condition. They are required to enter a compulsory quarantine in the hostel at their expense.

From Tunisian side, there are the customs office and Tunisian National Tourist Office there. The free zone and the port are 78 km far from the border, and different facilities such as weighbridge scale and fuel station are available around.

Libya - 2.4 Libya Railway Assessment

Libya Railway

The first railways in Libya consisted of a little over 200km of narrow (960mm) gauge lines radiating from Tripoli, constructed in 1912 by the then Italian colonial government. A further group of narrow-gauge lines emerged around Benghazi and was later extended. The last of these lines closed in 1965. A standard gauge line was constructed from Egypt as far as Tobruk during World War II but closed in 1946.

image-20230518091324-1

image-20230518091335-2

Around 1998, plans were announced for the opening of a new railway system, starting with a line from Tripoli to the Tunisian border. In 2001 it was reported that 60% of the earthworks were completed; however, these reports may have been somewhat optimistic. In any event, the project languished, and no further progress was made.

In 2009, the Italian government gifted a modern 4-car diesel train to Libya. The train had been built in Italy by AnsaldoBreda as part of an order for Danish State Railways; it was placed on a 3km section of new track specially constructed in the southwest outskirts of Tripoli. Satellite imagery dated 2020 shows the train still in the same location.

2008 contracts were lead with Russian and Chinese companies for the construction of several new standard (1435mm) gauge railways. In 2010, it was reported that the first 14km of a 554km line from Sirte to Benghazi was complete. However, all construction ceased, and contracts lapsed with the Revolution of 2011 and subsequent civil war. In 2013, negotiations began with Russian Railways for the resumption of work. These negotiations were cut short by a renewed outbreak of civil war.

image-20230518091402-4

In 2020, the Egyptian government announced plans for a line connecting the Egyptian rail network at Sallum with Benghazi. The line would in part follow the route of the former railway between Sallum and Tobruk. There have been no operational railways in Libya since 1965, but various lines existed in the past. An extensive system is now being developed and is under construction.

Libya - 2.5 Libya Waterways Assessment

Libya Waterways

Most of Libya is desert, with limited surface water resources, and it relies almost entirely on groundwater, most of which is ‘fossil’ water – recharged thousands of years ago when the region’s climate was wetter. Most agriculture relies on groundwater for irrigation, largely from the Great Man-Made River. This was a major project from the 1980s: a network of pipes transporting groundwater abstracted from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, in the Saharan part of southern Libya, northwards to cities and towns on the coast where most of the population lives.

Great Man-Made River:

Libya’s only large and reliable river is a pipeline. Great Man-Made River (GMR) is a well field that mines drinking and irrigation water from non-rechargeable aquifers that underlay much of North Africa. The largest GMR aquifer is the 1981-meter-deep Kufra Basin on the Egyptian border, with a total of 350000 cubic km. The aquifers were discovered in 1953, during petroleum exploration, and the administration began the 25-year project in 1984.

Libya - 2.6 Libya Storage Assessment

Different types of storage facilities and well-prepared and organized warehouses are available in almost the vital areas inside Libya and (example warehouses near ports and airports).

There are many logistics services companies operating in Libya, providing a several logistics services including professional storage facilities, inventory management and handling, and domestic distribution solution.

Due to insecurity situation in Libya and the looting and burglary incidents occurred there, finding a warehouse that suited in a safe location is considered as one of the main challenges.

[2] Warehouse Access: Raised-siding, flat.

[3] Warehouse condition: Appears intact, appears damaged, under construction/repair.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations

Humanitarian organizations in Libya either run their own facilities or manage the warehouses through third parties (logistics service providers) or through cooperating partners. However, and to mitigate the risk of looting and burglary given the insecurity situation, many humanitarian organizations avoid stockpiling large amounts of commodities, often delivering the commodities directly from the vendor/port to the FDP.

Public Sector Storage

Public sector storage is not available.

Cold Chain

Pharmaceuticals and other medical items which require specific temperature are imported through reefer containers then transported to the warehouses that have been equipped for this purpose. There are some logistics services companies that provide integrated cold chain solutions inside Libya (such as Tarek Alzahra Transport & Logistics CO ‘TZTL ‘LLC which provides cold chain solutions for transportation, warehouse management etc. for drugs and vaccines). Some humanitarian organizations also have cold chain storage options.

2.7 Libya Milling Assessment

Arable land in Libya is about 3.6 million hectares, which is 2.07% of the total area of Libya land, and there are about 100,000 farmers, Libya imports approximately 90% of the 1.3 million tons of the grains it consumes annually, nearly 105,000 tons per month, purchasing approximately 90% of soft wheat from abroad and 10% covered by the local production, Libya consumes 100,000 tons of durum per year and covers the rest of the needs through imports from abroad, The capacity of grain silos in Libya is currently approx. 500,000 tons.

Libya has achieved self-sufficiency in durum wheat production in previous periods, but this changed after the austerity measures announced by the Libyan Central Bank in 2015 and the end of support to farmers in fodder, fertilizer, and urea.

Other essential purchases from abroad include rice, corn oil, yeast, sugar, and tea. Responsibility for ensuring that all Libyans have access to a plentiful and affordable supply of basic food items lies with the National Supply Corporation (NASCO), a non-profit state-owned government agency. Founded in 1971, as an institution affiliated to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which deals with the provision of raw materials, materials, and crops in order to regularly achieve stable prices on the market and availability in needs-based quantities for consumers and maintaining an adequate stock of basic commodities that are subject to sharp fluctuations in their prices.
