Country overview

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a country in Central Africa and located in sub-Saharan Africa, bordered to the northwest by the Republic of the Congo, to the north by the Central African Republic, to the northeast by South Sudan, to the east by Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, and by Tanzania (across Lake Tanganyika), to the south and southeast by Zambia, to the southwest by Angola, and to the west by the South Atlantic Ocean and the Cabinda exclave of Angola. 

By area, it is the second-largest country in Africa and the 11th-largest in the world. With a population of around 108 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most populous officially Francophone country in the world. The capital and largest city is Kinshasa, which is also the world's most populous Francophone city and largest city in Africa. It is the third largest African city in metropolitan area after Lagos and Cairo. 

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is extremely rich in natural resources but has suffered from political instability, a lack of infrastructure, corruption, and centuries of both commercial and colonial extraction and exploitation with little widespread development” (Source: Wikipedia).

Other Comments 

Because of the presence of trapped pockets of highly explosive gas (methane) at the bottom of Kivu Lake, scientists say that there is likelihood that these could be released, creating a dangerous hazard of explosion in case of contact with flames on the surface. That would necessitate a total evacuation of people from Goma, Gisenyi, the Lake Kivu surrounds, Bukavu, Cyangugu and Kibuye.  

Man-Made Issues

Seasonal Effects on Logistics Capacities 

Seasonal Effects on Transport 

Transport Type 

Time Frame 

Comments / Details 

Primary Road Transport 

Wet season: October to April 

Dry season: May to September 

The 3,294 km of asphalt primary roads out of the 58,129 km are passable in all seasons despite the presence of potholes. The remaining 54,835 km is hardly passable during rainy season due to ruts and mud. During dry season, roads may become very sandy/muddy thus sometimes impassable, making heavy cargo loads difficult to transport. Trucks are often stranded until piles of sand are cleared. 

Secondary Road Transport 

Wet season: October to April 

Dry season: May to September 

 

The 86,871 km secondary road network is not paved and large parts of it are severely affected during rainy season, which makes it often inaccessible. During dry season, roads become sandy, muddy and dirty, thus hardly passable. This network if sometimes composed of what became more bicycle tracks than vehicle paths.  

Rail Transport 

n/a 

The 5,000 km network split into four non-interconnected zones remains defective due to poor maintenance and a lack of investment to modernize the railway infrastructure. This situation is causing many deadly derailments  

Air Transport 

Depend on the provinces for bad weather. 

The DRC’s domestic air transport services have a worrisome safety record due to aging aircraft, human error and harsh weather including heavy rains and storms during rainy seasons. The Congolese air fleet has been blacklisted by the European Union for decades due to the high number of crashes. Under the Projet Prioritaire de Sécurité Aérienne Phase 2 (PPSA 2), the current government is working to normalize this sector and to comply with the international standards of Civil Aviation 

Waterway Transport 

Wet season: October to April 

Dry season: May to September 

 

More sandbars appear during the dry seasons preventing the passage of heavy boats. Moreover, a significant lack of regular dredging operations is affecting traffic among several rivers 

Road transport in general in the DRC is slowed down during the rainy season as the travel time is extended by almost 40% due to the poor state of roads. Waterway transport is reduced or suspended during the dry season due to a lack or slow level to circulate among the rivers. Regarding both air and rail transportation, the main issues are poor maintenance and a lack of modern infrastructure causing accidents. 

Seasonal Effects on Storage and Handling 

Activity Type 

Time Frame 

Comments / Details 

Storage 

October to April 

Humidity affecting warehouse walls and floors in the rainy season 

Handling 

October to April 

Delay, slipping of workers and goods, muddy waterways ports preventing safe handling and transportation. 

Other 

n/a 

n/a 

Transporters must protect and cover their shipments with tarpaulins to avoid any losses and damage by the rain. Refurbishment and maintenance of warehouses to be completed prior to the rainy season to avoid flooding and roof leakage. Due to the poor road condition during this period, buffer and pre-stock to be anticipated especially for humanitarian response in remote areas. 
 

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response 

GOVERNMENT

In 2010, an emergency rescue plan - Organisation de secours en cas de catastrophe (ORSEC) - defining the general framework of constitutional emergency response was developed and will be revised on a yearly basis. 
 
In January 2013, the government created the Cadre National de Concertation Humanitaire (CNCH) 
to improve the exchange of humanitarian information enabling more efficient humanitarian responses and to ensure a better transition between humanitarian action and development, 
The CNCH, co-chaired by the Prime Minister and the Coordinator humanitarian, is a mechanism that enables advocacy on access issues on a national level. At the provincial level, the CNCH’s mission allows periodic exchanges between humanitarian actors and provincial authorities to facilitate access to populations in need. The discussions will continue directly with the Ministries responsible for raising issues administrative and tax barriers on humanitarian imports as well as the procedures and approaches close to the recognition and legality of NGOs. 
 
Last 2019, the government launched its Plan National Stratégique de Développement 2019-2023 (PNDS), which includes objectives related to humanitarian action in country such as reducing disaster risk and responding to humanitarian crises. (Source: Article A.9 Affaires Humanitaires
 
Last 2020, the government responded to the Covid 19 Outbreak with a twelve months dedicated national strategic plan to fight the virus with the support of the humanitarian community in the country.

HUMANITARIAN COMMUNITY

As of August 2022, more than 350 international and national organizations are operating in the country. In 2022, as per the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the humanitarian situation in the DRC remains critical and complex for millions of Congolese, and the humanitarian organization estimated that 27 million people will need some sort of humanitarian assistance in 2022. This includes food, water, medicine, shelter, protection, etc. Of the 27 million people in need of assistance, 8.8 million people are considered the most vulnerable and will be targeted with aid. 
Then, according to the International Security Organization (INSO), the DRC remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world for aid workers. Between January 2021 and January 2022, 268 security incidents against international non-governmental organizations staff were reported, including 36 kidnappings, 29 injuries and 7 deaths.

Democratic Republic of Congo - 1.3 Democratic Republic of Congo Customs Information

Customs clearance at the main port of Matadi is hampered by numerous factors such as the lack of quay and adequate equipment.

As a result, the required 10 days to unload a ship can be extended and thus delay the customs clearance procedure.

Duties and Tax Exemption

For contact information regarding government custom authorities, please follow the link below: 

4.1 Democratic Republic of Congo Government Contact List

There was a way of bypassing the normal procedure in order to quickly take control of goods in DRC in case of emergency. But the law changed this year. This new procedure is called ‘Déclaration Provisoire et/ou Incomplète’ (or ‘Uncompleted and/or Temporary Declaration’) and is established by a circular from DGDA dated back in September 2015. Scanned PDF of Custom Authority (in attachment):

Circulaire 008 12 septembre 2015

Instruction DGDA 001 12 octobre 2015

This procedure applies to all donated goods to the UN or NGOs operating in DRC and is the same for all sea, land, and air entry points. The list of goods that fall under the duties and taxes exemption can be found on article 339 of the 2010 DRC Customs code.

At this stage, it is too early to know exactly what the major changes and difficulties aid organizations will face. The DGDA itself is unsure how in practice it will happen. Potential changes include:

  • Shipments will still be allowed to get out of custom facilities, but it will no longer be possible to proceed with more than one shipment at a time. This may delay humanitarian operations if relief goods are coming in different shipments.
  • Every shipment must be cleared within 14 days, which question the ability of DGDA and the Forwarding Agents to deal with that in such a short period of time.
  • An unclear definition of relief items – “emergency shipments in case of disasters” – could be interpreted as not covering all types of goods imported by aid organizations.

Unfortunately, the same month (October 2015), other information was released about the Quality Control procedure. Since 2006, and until October 2015, the national agency for control Office Congolais de Controle (OCC) was assisted by VERITAS (locally known in DRC as BIVAC) for controlling goods abroad departing to DRC. This had considerably helped  the controls process at domestic level, as OCC agents had less work to do and could focus only on goods not checked by BIVAC (= where VERITAS had no offices at the departing point and therefore couldn’t check the goods).

It seems that the contract between BIVAC and DRC has not been renewed and, consequently, the OCC will have to do all the controls itself. The economic operators in DRC have serious doubts about their capacity to do it and are afraid of additional delays for releasing goods. Please note that OCC takes samples of almost every types of item entering in the country, and charge for it (for standard checking and lab analysis). The OCC price catalogue is available in Kinshasa.

Emergency Response:

[Note: This section contains information which is related and applicable to 'crisis' times. These instruments can be applied when an emergency is officially declared by the Government.  When this occurs, there is usually a streamlined process to import goods duty and tax free.]

Exemption Regular Regime (Non-Emergency Response)

[Note: This section should contain information on the usual duties & taxes exemption regime during non-emergency times, when there is no declared state of emergency and no streamlines process (e.g. regular importations/development/etc.).]

DR Congo’s tax and duties system is based on a three-pillar structure:

  1. Direction Générale des Impôts: the Directorate General for taxation is responsible for all matters relating to the basis, control, recovery and disputes of taxation in the DR Congo. These competences are exclusive and the DGI has to give account for their actions to the Minister of Finance.
  2. Direction Générale des Douanes et Accises: the Directorate General for customs and excise taxation is competent in the fields of collection of duties, surveillance of State borders, and finding customs and excise infractions.
  3. Direction Générale des Recettes Administratives, Judiciaires, Domaniales et de Participations: the Directorate General for fees, dues and royalties is also placed directly under the authority of the Minister of Finance and its mission includes the collection of all fees, dues and royalties due in the DR Congo.

The Decree Law dated February 10, 1969 relating to income tax describes the main income tax requirements (Income Tax Decree). Most income related taxes are governed by this text but there are also other taxes set out in specific regulations.

Customs

Following a modernisation process under impulse of the Directorate General of Customs and Excises, a new Customs Code has been proclaimed by the President by means of Ordinance-Law nr. 10/002 dated 20 August 2010 which entered into force on the 21st of February 2011.

  • Declarations: besides the normal regime where a declaration must be done three days after the arrival of the goods, a new regime allowing declarations prior to arrival of the goods has been installed, thus allowing to anticipate and facilitate the release of goods. Moreover, there is also a possibility to make a provisional or incomplete prior declaration and, if necessary, modify the latter.
  • Representation: one of the other novelties is the possibility to have a representative take care of the customs formalities.

Important Laws

Exemption Certificate Application Procedure

Duties and Taxes Exemption Application Procedure

Generalities (include a list of necessary documentation)

Process to be followed (step by step or flowchart)

UN agencies

First step:

At least 7 days before the arrival of the goods in the DRC by air, sea or road, the following documents must be submitted by the UN agency to the clearing agent:

Documents of origin

  • Certificate of Origin

Commercial documents

  • Invoice
  • Packing List

Transport documents

  • Bill of Lading (bill of lading) or Air Way Bill (Air Waybill)

Administrative documents

  • Donation or Gift certificate
  • Health certificate
  • phytosanitary certificate
  • Import license
  • Certificate of Insurance

To secure the donation certificate, Some UN agencies like, WFP, use to submit a request for gift certificate to their line ministry (the Ministry of Social Affairs, Humanitarian Action and National Solidarity.) The contact person is M. Mathieu Mikobi (see 4.2.1 Democratic Republic of Congo Government Contact List  for further details)

Second step :

The clearing agent will fill in the declaration of duty exemption on importation form (IE) and will submit it together with the commercial, transport,  origin and administrative documents to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DGDA)

Third step

Once the declaration on import duty exemption form (IE) is approved and stamped by DGDA, the clearing agent returns it to the UN agency which submits it along with the shipping documents of the goods to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with the Note Verbale.

The approval period of the Note Verbale varies from two (2) to ten (10) days depending on the applicant organizations.

Fourth step

Once the approval of the ‘’Note Verbale’’ is obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the entire document comprising of the shipping documents, the ‘’Note Verbale’’ and the approved declaration on import duty exemption form (IE) must be handed over to the clearing agent  for starting the clearance process of the goods. In practice, the clearing agent ensures that the documents are sealed at the point of entry by various departments of DGDA.
Then the goods will be inspected by the OCC. The documents requested by the OCC are:

  • Bill of Lading (Bill of Lading) or  Air Way Bill (Air Waybill) or consignment not
  • Packing List
  • Certificate of origin etc..

The goods will be released after completion of all four steps.

NGOs

First step :

At least 7 days before the arrival of the goods in the DRC by air, sea or road, the following documents including the framework agreement and the inter ministerial decree must be submitted by the NGO to the clearing agent:

Documents of origin

  • Certificate of Origin

Commercial documents

  • Invoice
  • Packing List

Transport documents

  • Bill of Lading (bill of lading) or Air Way Bill (Air Waybill)

Administrative documents

  • Donation or Gift certificate
  • Health certificate
  • phytosanitary certificate
  • Import license
  • Certificate of Insurance

Second step :

The clearing agent will fill in the declaration of duty exemption on importation form (IE) and will submit it together with the commercial, transport, origin and administrative documents to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DGDA)

Third step

Once the declaration on import duty exemption form (IE) is approved and stamped by DGDA, the clearing agent will submit them to the DGDA at the point of entry of the goods and start the clearing process in the same condition as in the fourth step for the UNs above.

Customs Clearance

General Information

DRC has adopted the SYDONIA software project with the aim of improving its customs clearance efficiency.

The system had yield significant results by reducing the lead time for customs clearance completion as well as strengthening the customs control and increasing revenue collected by customs authorities.(Source:UNCTAD)

Transit Regime

There are 4 different transit regimes in DRC.

  • Customs Declaration for goods paying duties and taxes
  • Customs declaration for goods partially or totally exempted of paying duties and taxes
  • Customs Declaration to transfer goods from ports, airports, international borders to bonded yard or warehouse
  • Transit Declaration to transfer goods from a border (port/ airport/ border) to another country (i.e.: Matadi Maritime Port – Kinshasa Dry Port – across the Congo River to Brazzaville (Rep. of Congo).

Escorts are compulsory for all bonded goods transferred from borders, ports, airports to destination where goods will finally be customs cleared. Transporters (Trucking Companies/ Air transporters) entrusted to do such transfers, must have a special licence obtained from the Customs authorities called (TRD or Transport sous douane). 

Bonded warehouses can be either public (managed by customs authorities) or private (with a compulsory customs presence). In general largest freight forwarding companies own their private bonded warehouses and bonded yards. This is the case for GTM and other clearing agents. Some private companies managed their own bonded warehouses to facilitate the custom clearing procedures for their own business (i.e. Automobile Dealers).

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2 Democratic Republic of Congo Logistics Infrastructure

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces what is probably the most daunting infrastructure challenge on the African continent. As a result of the conflict, networks have been seriously damaged or left to deteriorate, with about half of existing infrastructure assets in need of rehabilitation. Even before the conflict, the lack of basic infrastructure made it difficult to knit together the country’s disparate economic and population centers. The country’s vast geography, low population density, extensive forestlands, and crisscrossing rivers further complicate the development of infrastructure networks.

Since the return of peace, there have been promising signs. Notably, a privately funded global system for mobile communications (GSM) telephone network now provides a signal to two-thirds of the population at a reasonable cost. Significant external funding has been captured to rebuild the country’s tattered road network. And there has been an increase in domestic air routes served as well as a renewal of the aircraft fleet operated by private airlines only. The country is endowed with the largest hydropower resources in Africa, giving it the potential to not only meet its own energy demands very cost-effectively but to become the continent’s largest power exporter. Meanwhile, the country’s inland waterways can provide low-cost surface transport, with only relatively modest investments needed to improve navigability (To that effect, under a five year World Bank project reported to have started in 2010, around 10,000 new or replacement markings are being installed along the navigable section of the Lualaba River, mainly the section (Ubundu-Kindu (308 km) and Kongolo-Bukama (645 km) that complement the SNCC railroad network along the Lubumbashi-Kisangani Corridor.

Also included in the program are the Mogalo-Oubangui section of the Lua river (141 km) and the Businga-Mobeka section of the Mongala river (342 km) in the agricultural rich North-Western part of the country (Equateur Province) to improve both day and night time navigation.

As part of the activity, the hydrometric network is also under rehabilitation through the installation of scales and depth gauging sections. These interventions complement the waterway rehabilitation activities supported by the European Union (EU) through the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) and the Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC) and improve the integration of the intermodal network with SNCC regarding the West-South Corridor and the South-North Corridor as outlined on the Map below:

Democratic Republic of Congo Logistics Infrastructure 

Source: RVF, 2010

But much still remains to be done.

One of the DRC’s most urgent infrastructure challenges is to increase the generation of power and deliver it in a more cost-effective manner. Close to half the existing plants require refurbishment, and capacity must increase by 35 percent over the next decade just to meet domestic demand. Both road and rail infrastructure are in dilapidated condition, while the latter has also fallen into disuse. As the DRC embarks on a massive road investment program, an adequate financial and institutional basis will be essential to maintain the network going forward.

To rebuild the country and catch up with the rest of the developing world, the DRC needs to spend $5.3 billion a year over the next decade, or 75 percent of the 2006 GDP. Of this total, as much as $1.1 billion a year needs to be devoted to maintenance alone. Without increasing spending or improving efficiency, the DRC would take more than a century to redress the country’s infrastructure deficit. This is clearly an unacceptable outcome, and underscores the urgency of action in this area.

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.1 Democratic Republic of Congo Port Assessment

Overview

Image
Ports

The maritime, river and lake network irrigates the entire country with 16,238 km of navigable waterways.The country has both inland ports and seaports that are interconnected with the rail and road networks. However, due to poor  infrastructure conditions these networks remain inefficient.  
The current  situation is a serious drawback for the country to boost its local economy. 
The country counts around forty rivers and lake ports (E.g., Kinshasa, Ilebo, Kalemie, Kisangani, Mbandaka, Ubundu, Kindu) and three seaports (Matadi, Boma and Banana). 

Main corridors  

The Eastern DRC region counts several land border entries with Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Zambia that are  alternative routes to supply from Mombasa and Der Es Salaam ports.

Ongoing projects image-20230703170025-13

 

Port of Banana (SCTP) Kongo Central

The Banana deep-water port's construction is the most important infrastructure project officially launched by the government last January 2022.  
The future port will feature an initial 600-meter quay with an 18-meter draft, a container handling capacity of 450,000 TEUs and a 30-hectare yard to store containers. The $1.2 billion project will be built by a private operator with a target to complete a first phase in 2025.  

As a result of a low draft approach in Matadi (8 m), only a few types of vessels can pass through (e.g., Panamax type with 4,000 TEU capacity maximum) and they require a transshipment in the port of Pointe Noire. Therefore, having a national deep-water port would result in more independent logistics as well as reduced transit costs. Furthermore, the government would also need to complete the 143 km train connection from Banana to Matadi to discharge cargo from the port as the road capacity is insufficient for future demand.  

Although ports are partially controlled by the state-owned companies Société Commerciale des Transports et des Ports (SCTP)   and Société Nationale des Chemins de fer du Congo (SNCC),  they are now in competition with a multitude of private ports that emerged over the last years.  
Private ports offer both passengers and/or cargo transportation with additional services such as storage, trucking and providing handling equipment (e.g., forklift, crane).

A privite port in Bukavu - Sud Kivu


Although private, the port stays under the control of the local authorities who control both passengers and/or cargo arrivals and departures. Authorities present are the following:  

  • Direction Générale des Douanes et Accises (DGDA),  

  • Office Congolais de Contrôle (OCC),  

  • Direction Générale de Migration (DGM)  

  • Programme National de l'Hygiène aux Frontières / Service de Quarantaine Animale et Végétale (PNHF/SQAV

Description and Contacts of Key Companies 

Most of the companies operating at SCTP Matadi Port are forwarding agents (E.g.GTM, Connexafrica, Amicongo) and trucking companies (e.g. NRJ, Afritrans, Sotraco). 
 
CMA-CGM is the main shipping company serving the SCTP Matadi Port. 
 
For more information on port contacts, please see the following link: 4.4 Port and Waterways Company Contact List and 4.8 Transporters Contact List.  

Port Performance 

SCTP Matadi Port is not deep enough to handle large vessels therefore the cargo needs to be transferred to feeder ships at neighboring ports. With the opening of the modern private MGT Matadi Port in 2016, the competitiveness of SCTP Matadi’s port declined. In 2022 the port captured 25% of the freight traffic.

  • from 06:30 to 14:30 

  • from 14:30 to 22:30 

  • from 22:30 to 06:30 

Each shift has an average of 30-50 daily workers with a supervisor. The salary is US$ 4 per shift and they are paid after twenty-two working days. 

Hinterland Information 

The port is connected with Kinshasa via a 355 km paved road (Route National #1) that is in a good condition (9 -11 hours by car). However, as there is only a single road exiting from the city to the port, the city of Matadi is congested. furthermore, Kinshasa – Matadi is a two-lane road with heavy traffic due to the high number of trucks. Accidents often occur which can lead to roads being blocked in both directions for several hours. 

The 365 kilometers Matadi – Kinshasa railway has not been operational for a few years and requires major rehabilitation. Dispatching containers by train could be a solution to reduce road congestion and can be supported by handling operations as the container terminal is already fitted with tracks. Currently, a south Africa company ARSS (African Rolling Stock Solution) is operating from the SCTP Matadi Port terminal to deliver coal to the surrounding cement plants in the Kongo Central (E.g. CIMKO, PPC, CICO).

Hinterland Information 

The Matadi Port is connected with Kinshasa via a 355 km paved road (Route National #1) in a good condition (9 -11 hours by car). However, the city of Matadi is congested due to a single road to exit the city from the port. Then, Kinshasa – Matadi is a two-lane road so the traffic is very heavy due to the high numbers of trucks. Accidents often occur and the road traffic can be blocked for many hours both ways. 

The 365 km Matadi – Kinshasa railway has not been operational for few years and needs major rehabilitation.

SNCC Kisangani Port

Port Overview

In front of the SCTP port, on the opposite bank of the Congo River, there is another port run by SNCC. This facility is almost abandoned, except at its very end where a private logging company is shipping logs to Kinshasa.

The quay is 220 meters long and is connected by rail to the train station behind.

Description and Contacts of Key Companies

4.4 Democratic Republic of Congo Port and Waterways Company Contact List


Port Handling Equipment

All dock cranes (5 TITANs) are out of order. But the logging company (CFT / Compagnie Forestière de Transformation) can rent their cranes (25 & 42 tons capacity).

 

Customs Guidance

1.3 Democratic Republic of Congo Customs Information

 

Terminal Information

Main Storage Terminal

All large storage along the quay are non-serviceable, even if some of them only need roofing. But there is large storage in the ground floor, fenced and almost dry, easy access from the quay for workers and vehicles, which is estimated to have a surface of 1,500 m2.

 

Hinterland Information

For crossing the Congo River, there is a pontoon between the two banks:

 

Loading of vehicles on barges

It is important to mention that in most official ports (SCTP / SNCC) in DRC, there are not sufficient lifting capacity for putting vehicles on vessels. Therefore, private shore owners have set up “homemade” systems for allowing vehicles to drive onto barges:

 

Extremely long barge on the Congo river near Kisangani.

Port Handling Equipment

There is no crane but ARVIL has one mobile crane (25 tons) and 2 forklifts 4x4 (2 tons) which are probably rentable.

Port Overview

The town of Zongo is located on the left bank of the Ubangi River, just opposite of Bangui, CAR’s capital. 

Latitude:    4° 21' 13.42" N   / Longitude: 18° 35' 56.46" E

This is not technically a port as there is no physical infrastructure (only a beach), or port authority. Two accesses were built so trucks can reach the beach.

In fact, it is more a border crossing point where border agencies are represented: DGDA (customs) and DGM (immigration).

Port Performance

There are pirogues (max 20 tons) crossing the river several times a day, carrying small cargo and passengers. There is also a pontoon for vehicles (max 10 tons) irregularly crossing the river between Bangui and Zongo. It is also possible to tie several pirogues together, and with a platform on it, carry light vehicles.

There are also much bigger units (17 x from 30 to 90 tons) called “baleinières.” Prices, according to distance – current (upstream or downstream) – season, can vary from $600 to $900 per ton (to be negotiated).

NB: No barge can go further upstream (= Mobaye / Gbadolite). Only some baleinières can during rainy season and only the smaller ones (30 tons) during dry season.

 

The biggest “baleinière” ever built in Zongo (120 tons capacity). One of the biggest pirogue (20 tons).

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.1.16 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)  Port of  Kivovo

Port Overview 

The Port of Kivovo is on the northwest coast of Lake Tanganyika and located two kilometers away from the Port of Kalundu. Managed by private companies, it offers both passengers and/or freight services to Kalémie, Boma, Kigoma (Tanzania) and Mpulungu (Zambia). The infrastructure are fitted with a quay, warehouse and handling equipment. The local authorities have an office within their compound to ensure customs and police controls during embarking and debarking (DGDA, OCC, DGM…).

The port of Kivovo is a competitor for the historic operator SNCC, however, the poor condition state of the Route Nationale 5 (Bukavu – Lubumbashi) is also a drawback to boost the regional economic exchanges.

The multimodal SNCC Port of Ilebo plays a crucial logistics role to supply the province considering the very poor condition of the road from Ilebo. Manufactured products, construction material, hydrocarbon etc.… arriving from Kinshasa by water barges are then delivered to Kananga and within the province by train. The local economy highly depends on the train to ensure a continuous business trade and supply within the province.

Description and Contacts of Key Companies

Warehouses along the quay are rented by private companies such like Beltexco, Afrifood, PPC Cemen, to supply their customers or distribution centers in Kananga and within the province.  
Beltexco also offers a river transportation service with a fleet of 20 water barges (400 to 600 mt each) and can be contracted from Kinshasa. 

Then, several forwarding agents based in the Port of Ilebo ensure transshipment, wagon bookings, taxes / charges payments and cargo follow up on behalf of the customers.

Other comments 

Inland traffic 

Rainy season is the peak of water traffic considering the elevated level of the river facilitating the navigation 

Train traffic 

Rainy season is the off peak of train traffic.  

There is one train per week compared with 2-3 trains per week during the dry season. Indeed, landslides often occur causing derailments then repairing/maintenance can take several days prior resuming of the train service.  

During rainy season, landslides often occur causing damaged tracks or train derailment on the legs Ilebo – Kananga – Ilebo. The resuming of train traffic can take several days or weeks depending on the maintenance and repairing duration. 

The SNCC port has a capacity to handle 300 mt per day .

Storage Type 

Number of Storage Facilities 

General Cargo 

The SNCC has two warehouses and offers 15 days free of charge if needed to complete the transshipment. However, the storage capacity is limited and it is recommended to transfer the goods once discharged at the port into the train to Kananga. 

image-20230706100302-24

Stevedoring 

Labor work is organized under a local union and the contracting service is facilitated by the forwarding agents.  
The handling charge is 75 USD per loaded wagon.

Hinterland Information 

Cargo is only moved out from the port by train considering the very poor condition of the road to Kananga.  
As previously mentioned, a train carries a maximum of 15 wagons (40 mt each) and frequency will vary according to the season. Then, the SNCC allocates wagon among all the traders and there is no possibility to obtain a fully dedicated train. Therefore, spreading out of deliveries must be considered and contracting a forwarding agent at the port of Ilebo is recommended to ensure a regular wagon booking and cargo follow-up. 

The road Kananga – Ilebo is 367 km, two days drive in 4x4 with an overnight in Mweka or Kakangé. The road is in very poor condition and becomes difficult during the rainy season.

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.2 Democratic Republic of Congo Aviation

Overview 

Image
Airports

The Autorité de l’Aviation Civile de la République Démocratique du Congo (AAC /RDC) is the national regulatory authority in charge of the regulations, supervision and control of civil aviation activities in accordance with the principles of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).  
 
Furthermore, the Régie des Voies Aériennes (RVA) is a state-owned technical and commercial corporation established by Ordinance-Law No. 72-013 of 21 February 1972 that manages 53 airports as of August 2022. It is responsible for designing, building, developing, maintaining and operating the airports, managing DRC’s airspace and ensuring air navigation safety. It is also responsible for the commercial exploitation of airport equipment and facilities and training its staff. 

  • Four International airports: Kinshasa N’djili, Goma, Lubumbashi Luano and Kisangani 

  • Sixteen National airports: Mbuji-Mayi, Bukavu, Kananga, Kinshasa N’dolo, Mbandaka, Bandundu, Bunia, Gemena, Isiro, Kalemie, Kindu, Kolwezi, Lodja, Mwanda, Gbadolite, Tshikapa 

  • Thirty-three aerodromes 

The air transport sector is not reliable with a dilapidated airport infrastructure system, which requires public and private investment for rehabilitation. Thus, the government is committed to modernizing this sector with the objective of meeting ICAO aviation safety standards through past and ongoing improvements plans such as the following. 

Two aviation safety projects funded by the Groupe de la Banque Africaine de Development (BAD) with the past 2010 - 2015 Projet Prioritaire de Sécurité Aérienne Phase 1 (PPSA I) and the ongoing 2018-2022 Projet Prioritaire de Sécurité Aérienne Phase 2 (PPSA II). Those two projects included construction and renovation works of airport control towers, construction of fire stations and safety fences, acquisition of firefighting and rescue vehicles and airport security equipment (Kinshasa N’djili, Kisangani, Lubumbashi Luano, Kindu & Mbuji-Mayi) 

The Projet d'Amélioration de la Sécurité à l'Aéroport de Goma (PASAG) managed by the Cellule d’Exécution du Projet du Transport Multimodal (CEPTM) with fundings from the DRC government and the World Bank. Amongst others, it resulted in the building of a new tower control in Goma inaugurated in November 2021, the rehabilitation of the runway (up to a length of 3000 m), and improvement of the airstrip lights.  

image-20230705161900-4image-20230705161900-5 

Goma Airport: a new tower control in November 2021 that complies with international aeronautic standards 

For the government, improving the air transport sector will open the country both externally and internally to boost the local economy and to increase the regional trade. Through public and institutional investments, DRC also wants to normalize the air traffic by ensuring the safety of air navigation and aeronautical security and help get the country's airlines off the European Union (EU) blacklist. In this regard, DRC and Ethiopian Air Lines are negotiating a  partnership to create a new air company called Air Congo (7 aircrafts, maintenance program and capacity building).The current national airline company Congo Airways is currently operating only an aircraft type A320-200 to cover its domestic network, as three other aircrafts are still under maintenance.  

There are numerous private airlines operating in DRC but many of them are banned for transporting staff by UN agencies and most INGOs. The main reason is the still alarming accident record due to disrespect of international aviation standards in-country. Thus, United Nation Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) is operating in the whole country with nine aircraft and took over the management of Echo Flight in 2020 (one aircraft and one helicopter).  

For more information, contact details and routes, please visit  here the DRC Cluster Logistics website. 

For more information on government agency and airport company contact information, please see the following links: 4.1 Government Contact List and 4.5 Airport Companies Contact List

Aviation taxes for passengers

In 2009, the RVA introduced a tax to fund the rehabilitation of airport infrastructures through the Redevance de Développement des Infrastructures Aéroportuaires (IDEF) also called GO PASS. 

Current rates are: 

  • 10 USD per passenger when embarking for a national flight  

  • 50 USD per passenger when embarking for an international flight 

 

Additional taxes when applicable: 

  • Tax from the provincial transport authorities (starting from 5 USD) 

  • Statistics tax (in some airports): 5 USD 

Procedures for Foreign Registered Aircraft 

The request must comply with AAA/RDC ‘s procedures in force as described below to grant an official registration and authorization to operate in DRC. The process is led by the Direction du Transport Aérien (DTA) and may also involve additional national authorities such as DGM (Direction Générale de Migration), SCS (Service du Conseiller Spécial), and Ministère de la Défense Nationale or ARN (Agence Nationale de Renseignement ).

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.2.1 Democratic Republic of Congo Kinshasa N'Djili SeniorInternational Airport

 

The Kinshasa/N’Djili Airport is the largest of the six international airports in DRC. It remains the country's most active airport freight terminal. Despite its importance, the existing facility is not in line with international standards and regulations and its location does not provide room to grow nor to facilitate the proper handling of materials.

However, some improvements happened in the last 2 years including a new international passenger terminal and a new control tower. Additional refueling points and taxi extension are also on their way.

Storage Facilities

There is a public bonded warehouse which is under the management of DGDA (Direction Générale des Douanes et Accises). Only 2 private bonded warehouses are available (Bolloré Africa Logistics – BAL and DHL express): Bolloré’s is 600 sqm and DHL’s is smaller. For large amounts of cargo, BAL usually transfers the goods to their warehouse in town (named Air France Cargo location), with a special customs procedure (enlèvement d’urgence permanent).

NB: BAL has a cold room (2 x 40’ reefers) in the airport which can activated upon request. DGDA has one too (190 cbm), but it’s believed unreliable (tbc). DHL’s is apparently in renovation.

Security

The main weaknesses of the air transport system in DRC include the advanced state of dilapidation of airport infrastructure, obsolete air navigation equipment and lack of resources to enable the administration to effectively perform its air safety and security supervision functions. In addition, the country is in a strategic position in the air transport industry at the regional and international levels because most flights between Southern Africa and Europe as well as between Southern Africa, West, and East Africa use its vast airspace without adequate visualization or surveillance systems. 

 

 

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.2.2 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Goma International Airport

Airport Overview 

Goma International Airport plays a key role as the main air hub for East Congo. In the last few years, the airport’s safety has been upgraded with an extension of the runway and the building of a new tower control (PASAG projects). However, the airport remains vulnerable with the active volcano Nyiragongo located about 20 km from Goma (last eruption in May 2021).

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.2.3 Democratic Republic of Congo Lubumbashi First ClassInternational Airport (Category 1)

 

 

Lubumbashi airport is in fact the second most important Congolese airport in terms of aviation activity, especially with international traffic. This is because of the intense economic activity in the region, mainly in and around mining. This has allowed the creation of several private domestic airlines, mainly for VIP (helicopter or jet) and freight (cargo planes) transport.

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.2.5 Democratic Republic of Congo Kisangani / Bangoka FirstClass National Airport (Category 2)

 

Built in 1978, to replace the other airport in town (now only for military use), Bangoka airport is located in the medium north of DRC. The nearby town of Kisangani is connected by roads and rivers to the West and the East of the country. This airport used to be a key hub in the economy and in humanitarian responses since the 1990s. The main building is a large passenger terminal (currently in renovation) able to host a large number of passengers. The cargo possibilities is unfortunately very restrained due to lack of ground equipment and warehousing. Custom and immigration services are nevertheless present and operational. 

The airport seems to be now in decline with only bi-weekly flights from MONUSCO, from private airline CAA and occasionally the private cargo airline SERVICE AIR. However, Bangoka has been included in an ABD (African Bank Development) project for the renovation of DRC’s airports and some parts of the airport are now being rehabilitated (Congo aviation authority office, control tower, generator’s room). MONUSCO has donated firefighting equipment. It is unclear when the renovation work will be completed.

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.2.11 Democratic Republic of Congo Butembo Second ClassNational Airport (Category 2)

Airport Overview

Butembo is a large city with an estimated population of 1 million people. The Butembo airstrip runs quite literally through the middle of the city, which unfortunately has reasonably high rates of urban crime. Due to a lack of security at the airport, there are often numbers of people who cross the runway, even when soldiers are deployed to prevent people from doing so. As a result, the runways of the airport are considered dangerous.

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.3 Democratic Republic of Congo Road Network

 

Democratic Republic of Congo Roads

 

The country’s road network is in an extremely bad state of repair following years of armed conflicts. In theory, the road network comprises 58,358 km of national roads, 86,615 km of rural roads, and 7,400 km of urban roads.

According to estimates, only 5 per cent of the 58,000 km of the national roads are sealed. These sections are mainly located on the axis between Matadi and Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and the Zambian border and some sections in the eastern part of the country. (Source: Ministère des Transports et Voies de Communication Cellule d’Exécution du Projet de Transport Multimodal Report Annuel 2011

 Although there is little reliable detailed information, a large proportion of the road network is known to be in need of repairs. The two main highways on the national road network are the East-West road (linking the port of Matadi to Lubumbashi via Kinshasa) and the North-South road (linking Lubumbashi to Goma, Bukavu and Kisangani).

Recent road quality indicators suggest that the state of the country’s limited paved network (fewer than 3,000 km) has improved considerably and is now comparable with those of other low income countries in the region. (Source: African Development Bank Group)

Road Security

DRC's territory is partially enclosed. Almost all the provincial capitals can only be reached by air. The national road network is approximately 152,400 km long--only 2% of which is sealed--is in a state of disrepair. Of the priority roads (covering 30,786 km), 25% of which are in good condition, 16% in fair condition and 59% in poor condition.

Out of the 86,821 km of local roads, only 11% are in good condition. (Source: RDC - 2011-2015 - Document de stratégie de réduction de la pauvreté P. 64). There are also roads with checkpoints manned by DRC security forces, which sometimes set up temporary roadblocks, especially at night.

Vehicles are often searched for weapons and valuables and travelers are checked for identity papers. All forms of public transportation are unregulated. Taxis, mini-buses and trains are in poor mechanical condition and are often filled beyond capacity.

Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits

Axle load limit in DRC is derived from the Arrêté Interministériel Instituant des Mesures de Protection du Patrimoine Routier National de 2011.

Bridges

The road network under the responsibility of the Office des Routes is comprised of 1,886 bridges including 445 permanent bridges (concrete structures) which represents 23% of bridges, 750 semi-permanent bridges (metallic structures) and 691 temporary bridges representing 37% of bridges.

Given their ages, more than 90% of the bridges are in a poor or average condition. An analysis of the modernization of 118 bridges was conducted.

The table below shows the distribution of the bridges by province and by type:

Road Corridor Assessment

International Corridors Leading to the Country

Because of its special geographic configuration, DRC is a semi landlocked country with only 32 km of coastline. The remaining part of the country is opened outward through corridors that connect it to international trade.

These corridors are the only entry points for goods for this part of the country.

There are several international corridors, here gathered in 3 zones, linking the DRC to other countries:

  1. On the Eastern borders of DRC: The Northern Corridor and the Central Corridor
  2. The Southern borders of DRC
  3. The Western borders of DRC

1. Eastern Borders

Below is an overview map of the Eastern borders.

The Northern Corridor

The Northern Corridor is the transport corridor linking the landlocked countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi with Kenya’s maritime port of Mombasa. Similarly, the Northern Corridor serves Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Southern Sudan and Northern Tanzania. Thus, the  Northern Corridor infrastructure connects all the five countries of the East African Community and beyond.

It is the busiest and most important transport route in East and Central Africa. It totals about 7,000 km, of which 60% is paved and 40% is unpaved, as depicted in the table below:

(Source: Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Coordination Authority)
 

Below is a map of the Northern Corridor.

Because of their heavy reliance of the Northern Corridor for their overseas trade, as well as the trade among themselves, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda are contracting parties to the Northern Corridor Agreement.

The Agreement provides the legal framework for collaboration among these countries on matters related to transit transport; customs control; documentation and procedures; as well as the development of infrastructure and facilities relating to sea ports, inland ports and waterways, roads, railways, pipelines and border posts.

The Northern Corridor is a multi-modal corridor, encompassing road, rail, pipeline and inland waterways transport. The main road network runs from Mombasa Sea Port through Kenya and Uganda to Kigali in Rwanda, Bujumbura in Burundi and to Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The road network also links Kenya and Uganda to Juba in South Sudan. The rail network runs from Mombasa Sea Port through Nairobi, Malaba, and Kampala to Kasese in Western Uganda, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. A branch line radiates from Nakuru to Kisumu on Lake Victoria, from where rail wagon ferries link the system to Port Bell in Kampala.

Another rail branch line runs from Tororo in eastern Uganda to Pakwach in northern Uganda. River steamers are used to provide links with Nimule in South Sudan from Pakwach. The oil pipeline runs from Mombasa through Nairobi and Nakuru to Kisumu and Eldoret in western Kenya, from where the landlocked countries access their fuel imports. (Source: Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Coordination Authority)

The international and intra-regional trade as engine of economic growth in the region is hampered by high costs of doing business, including:

  • High costs of transport and delays;
  • Numerous NTBs (non-traffic barriers)  and associated administrative costs along the transit chain;
  • Lack of implementation by Member States of various protocols on trade and transport  facilitation;
  • Low level of awareness of laws, regulations and agreements/conventions;
  • Lack of facilitation mindset;
  • Limited capacity to package bankable projects.

The whole related costs are allocated gradually to the landlocked  Member States.

The Region is a net importer and very uncompetitive compared to other economies:

The Central Corridor

The Central Corridor is managed by the Central Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency (TTFA). The TTFA is a multilateral agency formed by five Member States (Burundi, DRC, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda) with cooperation from both public and private sector stakeholders.

Transit routes cover cargo and passenger transport utilizing:

  • All Tanzanian roads connecting to Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda together with all roads and railway systems in these landlocked countries connecting to the central corridor;
  • The Port of Dar es Salaam;
  •  The Railway system operated by Tanzania Railways Corporation;
  •  Isaka Dry Port;
  •  The freight and marine services provided by Uganda Railways Corporation and Marine Services Company Limited respectively and other private companies on Lake Victoria;
  •  The Port of Mwanza, Kemondo Bay, Port Bell and Jinja Port;
  •  The marine services provided by Marine Services Company Limited and other public and private Companies on lake Tanganyika;
  •  The Port of Kigoma, Bujumbura, Moba, Baraka, Kasanga, Kalundu and Kalemie;
  •  Deep sea and coastal shipping services calling at Dar es Salaam port;
  • Kidatu inland trans-shipment terminal and other transit routes and facilities as determined from time to time

(Source: Central Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency)

Below is a map of the Central Corridor.

The main challenges of the Central Corridor are related to border and customs procedures, infrastructure, inland non-traffic barriers such as police road blocks, weigh bridges and revenue check points as well as domestic non-traffic barriers that impede  the smooth flow of trade.

The estimated delivery leadtime in the Central Corridor is outlined in the table below. (Source: WFP DRC Logistics)

2. Southern borders

The Southern Corridor accounts for a significant percentage of southern DRC export/regional freight. Exporters and importers in Katanga have a variety of options open to them for transporting goods.

They can link up with the Central Corridor and the port of Dar es Salaam or take a variety of routes to Nacal, Beira, Maputo (Mozambique) or through to the port of Durban (South Africa).

Transport corridors in this region are mainly being transformed into integrated economic corridors through the Spatial Development Initiative (SDI).

In order to meet the objectives set by the SDI, there has been been more investment including cargo tracking, tax guarantees (which are used on most of the corridors) and a high percentage of freight containerization.

2. Western borders

Below is a map of the Western Corridors.

The Equateur region (through Zongo port and/or the Oubangui river) can receive goods through Bangui from three ports abroad:

  1. The Douala port in Cameroon (congested).
  2. The Kribi port (new) in Cameroon (a brand new port already partly operational).
  3. The Libreville port in Gabon (assessed by WFP shipping).

In addition to the Matadi port, there are three other options for transporting goods from the ocean to Kinshasa:

  1. The Lobito port in Angola.
  2. The Luanda port in Angola.
  3. The Pointe Noire port in the Congo Republic.

Main domestic road corridors

Three major economic corridors on which the country’s future development depends can be identified taking into account the distances between key production sectors and their relation to the country’s main infrastructure link.

These are:

  1. Matadi-Kinshasa-Lubumbashi (road and rail)
  2. Bunia-Kisangani-Kinshasa (road & river)
  3. Lubumbashi-Goma (road)

Below is a map of the main domestic road corridors.

  1. Matadi-Kinshasa-Lubumbashi: This route plays a major role in international trade. The section from Matadi to Kinshasa is the main route for the transport of imports to Kinshasa and for legal exports from the DRC using the Matadi port. The second part between Kinshasa and Lubumbashi can not be yet a major corridor since half of the way is in very bad condition.
  2.  Bunia-Kisangani-Kinshasa:  This route is now a major way for transporting goods from eastern Africa to Kinshasa (especially second hand cars from the Middle East or Asia). The Congo River is also crucial for transporting timbers, agricultural products and fish from the center of the country to Kinshasa.
  3.  Lubumbashi-Kalémie-Goma: This route is mainly useful in terms of integrating the country between cities and is also used by the mining industry. 

 

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.4 Democratic Republic of Congo Railway Assessment

 

The Democratic Republic of Congo has non-interconnected railways of 5,033 km. Three public institutions, the Commercial Company of Transports and Ports (SCTP), the Railways of Uélé and the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer du Congo (SNCC), ensure investments, management and exploitation of the existing infrastructures.

The rail network is largely inherited from the colonial times and was renovated during the 1970s in some areas. The infrastructure is in poor condition, but the network manages to function despite considerable delays and numerous incidents (with the exception of the Railways of Uélé which is not operational).

Railway Companies and Consortia

SNCC railway network connects Katanga province to both Kasais at the center of the country to the Eastern Province in the north and the Northern provinces, South Kivu and Maniema in the east.

SNCC manages a multimodal transport system consisting of: 

  • An interconnected rail network of 3,641 km (for which 858 km electrified) including the section Ubundu-Kisangani (120 km);
  • A network on the Lake Tanganyika (1425 km) which connects the Democratic Republic of Congo to Zambia, Tanzania and Burundi;
  • A network on the Lake Kivu linking Bukavu to Goma (106 km); a Kalundu-Bukavu road network (128 km);
  • A river system of the medium Reach from Kindu to Ubundu (310 km) and the upper Reach from Kongolo to Malemba-Nkulu (390 km).

The SNCC network is interconnected in the south with networks of Southern Africa via Zambia (Sakania), to the west by the city of Dilolo with the Benguela Railway, to the North with SCTP (National Transportation Agency) via the waterway and to the east by Kalemie on Lake Tanganyika.(Source: SNCC)

SCTP (Société Commerciale des Transports et des Ports) manages the Matadi-Kinshasa railway which connects the Port of Matadi to the Kinshasa river port. It totals 366 km.

Les Chemins de fer des Uélé is in charge of the network that connects Bumba in Bondo (Province Orientale and Mungbere).This line is no longer in use.

Funding from the World Bank for the rehabilitation and upgrade of 1,200 km and 487 km respectively of SNCC rail track was launched in 2010. The main works are being implemented on the sections between the copper producing zone (in the area of Kolwezi and Tenke) and Sakania at the Congolese border with Zambia as well as between Kamina and Kabalo and Kamina and Mwene Ditu so as to preserve and strengthen SNCC North/Central and East network sections connectivity. No investments on the Kolwezi to Dilolo section of the network have been planned for now as uncertainties remain in terms of the timing and conditions of re-opening of the Benguela rail line in Angola (Kolwezi to Lobito corridor).

The SNCC and the Chemin de fer Matadi-Kinshasa (belonging to SCTP) are the two railways of significant importance for DRC. The Chemin de fer Matadi-Kinshasa is the natural transport mode for timber exports and other bulk traffic that is not time sensitive including imports to the city of Kinshasa.

The most important branch of the network operating by SNCC connects Kolwezi to Sakania on the Zambian border and westward to Ilebo. The SNCC network is the natural transport mode for copper exports leaving the DRC for the port of Durban, and will eventually also offer the opportunity to export copper through Lobito in Angola via the Benguela Railway currently under reconstruction.

Although the CFMK and the SNCC networks are not interconnected, transport from Kinshasa to Lubumbashi has historically been achieved using the river link from Kinshasa to Ilebo, where the SNCC network begins.

Both Congolese rail networks has seen their traffic decline sharply due to deficient service and strong intermodal competition. Despite the relatively good condition of the SCTP’s track, its rolling stock has deteriorated and its quality of service has declined.

The recent rehabilitation of the road corridor parallel to the track has led many businesses to send their bulk freight by road rather than rail. The SNCC network is in poor condition, with speed limit of 10 to 35 km per hour.

SNCC

The World Bank has launched an eight-year plan for improving the DRC Multi Modal Transport in the south and south-east of the country, which is the area of operation of the SNCC. It covers the all SNCC activities on rail, lake and rivers. 

Total SNCC network (rail, river, lake):


SNCC network in detail (+ Haut Uélé):

 

In coordination with the implementing agencies, the Ministries of Finance and Transport, the project aims to commit $631 million for renewing tracks, trains and boats to improve the competitiveness of the SNCC for exporting goods and minerals. 2015 was an important year for the project as the first brand new locomotives (from China) were delivered to Lubumbashi. 

New locomotive on the SNCC network.
 

For more information on the project, please see The World Bank's DRC Multi-modal Transport Project Implementation Status & Results Report.

The project suffered some delays due to the structural problems inherited from the past, such as staff recruitment, staff volume and deficient management at all levels (financial, technical, commercial). An external problem appeared as the SNCC complained of the damages on the infrastructure caused by looters digging under the rail tracks to get earth containing copper fallen from the wagons.

Kisangani station (the train foreground, loaded with iron sheets for a Development agency, has been standing for months). The locomotive is under repair until new ones are delivered (2016).

 

Kindu station: workshop and fuel tanker (here aviation fuel). 

 

 

Kalémie station: one locomotive (without fuel) and tracks with large warehouses along them.

SCTP

The rail part of the SCTP’s activity is composed of the Matadi-Kinshasa corridor. It has been recently rehabilitated and operates several times a week.

In the past, the company was able to run up to 20 convoys simultaneously and had more than 3,000 wagons, but now only two trains can circulate between Matadi and Kinshasa and the company has only 250 wagons and 4 locomotives.

The train is in direct competition with the transportation by trucks but has some advantages:

  • Price is competitive ( $70 / ton)
  • Transit time is approximately the same: 7 hours
  • The train can enter Kinshasa at any time (restrictions apply on trucks)
  • One train can pull the equivalent of minimum 30 heavy duty trucks

However:

  • Loading/offloading of wagons can delay train departures
  • In case of mechanical problems, the SCTP has little and slow means to fix problems
  • There are is not enough wagons in circulation so the company is often missing units where needed.
  • For economical reasons, a train doesn’t leave until a certain number of loaded wagons is reached

The Matadi train station is directly connected to the port and containers can be directly loaded from vessels to train. 

There was no locomotives (only this one for maneuvers) on the day of visit: they were all in Kinshasa so trains couldn’t leave.

Key Route Information

  • The SNCC rail network is in the southeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and is the only cross-border railway network in sub-Saharan Africa. The railway covers 3,641km but most parts are in poor condition or complete disrepair. SNCC could be useful as a link to Durban and Dar es Salaam ports, but the railway's slow operations and high costs make road travel a more practical option. Today, the railway holds about one-tenth of the traffic it held in 1970. One section of the railway runs from Kolwezi, near the Zambian border, through Katanga, and to Ilebo. The track from Ilebo to Kinshasa has gone missing, so road or river transport is required between these two areas. Transport along the SNCC is about three times more expensive than it is on other railways in southern Africa. The cost of SNCC rail freight is about $0.15/MT.
  • The Matadi-Kinshasa rail line (links to the Port of Matadi). The railway from Matadi to Kinshasa was built in the 1890s and is 366 km long. 
  • The third and last railway network in the Democratic Republic of Congo is the Chemin de Fer des Uélés (Uélés Railway - CFU), a 1,026 km long 0.6 meter gauge line in the north of the country (linking the Kilo Moto gold mines to the Congo River). It is currently not operational.

Main international railway lines:

  • TAZARA railway links the Southern African regional transport network to East Africa and the rest of the world through the East African seaport of Dar es Salaam. It runs from the port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to the Town of Kapiri Mposhi in Central Zambia where it links with the existing Zambia Railways system and connects to the Congolese Railways, SNCC. The gauge of the line is 1,067 millimetres (three and half feet), also known as the "Cape Gauge." The gauge of the TAZARA line is the same as that of Zambia Railways and all the other main trunk lines in Central and Southern Africa.
  • Dar es Salaam-Kigoma, Tanzania rail line (links to Kigoma port). The railway from Dar es Salaam to Kigoma, Tanzania is 1,254 km long, and serves parts of North Kivu, South Kivu, and Katanga provinces for the Democratic Republic of  Congo. Goods arriving in Kigoma from Dar es Salaam by rail would then be transported by boat to Bujumbura (12 hours) and Kalemie, the Democratic Republic of Congo (12-18 hours). Goods arriving by boat to Bujumbura would then be off-loaded and trucked to Bukavu, Goma and further points inside the Democratic Republic of Congo.
  • From Dar es Salaam / To Zambia

General overview:

The Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority, popularly known by the acronym TAZARA, is a bi-national railway, jointly owned by the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania and the Government of the Republic of Zambia on an equal share-holding basis. The 1,860 km-rail runs from Tanzania and East Africa’s major seaport of Dar es Salaam into the heart of Zambia’s Central Province, terminating at New Kapiri-Mposhi, where it is further linked by road and rail to Zambia’s capital city, Lusaka (about 200 km), Zambia’s mining nerve centre, the Copperbelt province (about 100 km) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Below is a map of how waterways connect with railways in the Democratic Republic of Congo:

Democratic Republic of Congo Waterways

 

The waterway network in the Democratic Republic of Congo has always been a key factor in the development of the country: the strategic use of its richness allows many possibilities in terms of transportation and electricity production. 

Below is a map of the ports and waterways network in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

The navigation network of inland waterways of the Democratic Republic of Congo totals more or less 16,000 km in length and is based on the Congo River and its major lakes. It is divided into four sections, called navigable reach, often connected by rail, including:

  • The lower reach of the Congo River or the maritime in the west which totals 140 km from Banana (mouth) to the port of Matadi;
  • The middle reach in the north and center of the Congo River Basin with its two axes (Kisangani-Kwamouth and Ilebo-Kwamouth) including two lakes (Maindombe and Tumba) and leading to Kinshasa;
  • The upper reach in the east that goes from Ubundu to Province Orientale up to Lake Moero (Katanga Province) with two main axes Ubundu-Kindu and Kongolo-Bukama;
  • The chain of lakes comprised of lakes Mweru, Tanganyika, Kivu, Edward and Albert.

Until recently, management of inland navigation was carried out efficiently by the Board of Maritime Routes (RVM) on maritime reach and by the Board of Fluvial Routes (RVF) in the middle and upper reaches of Congo River. Currently, their response is reduced to a strict minimum.

Small scale, informal operators provide most transport among the Democratic Republic of Congo’s rivers. Though the country’s waterways once carried significant quantities of goods, the overall deterioration of the infrastructure over the past 50 years has also been felt in the river transport sector. Goods can typically travel on the main river routes of Ilebo-Kinshasa (Kasai and Congo Rivers), Kisangani-Mbandaka-Kinshasa (Congo River) and Gbadolité/Equateur Province-Kinshasa (Ubangui and Congo rivers). Goods arriving in Ilebo typically are then sent by rail/road to further points in the province of Kasaï Occidental, Kasaï Oriental and Katanga. Goods arriving in Kisangani can then be sent by rail/or road to Maniema, North Kivu and South Kivu.

Several barges pushed by a tug near Kisangani. 

 

There are also safety concerns as 4,770 passengers died and 153 vessels sank between 2008 and 2011 in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

EU/Europaid project has been underway since 2013 for improving the navigability of river and lake routes. The main objectives are:

  • Hydrography and hydrology: updating the follow-up system to optimize navigation capacities, especially during low water level seasons.
  • Upgrading and renovation of the river signals system for preventing accidents due to moving sandbanks and rocks. The RVF will also get new vessels and a renovated shipyard.
  • Improving port infrastructures: port equipment, handling and decks.
  • Capacity building for RVF’s staff: hydrography, river’s maintenance and port management.

Key Routes

International: CONGO RIVER

From KINSANGANI / To KINSHASA / MATADI / BOMA / BANANA

The Congo River is the second longest African river (4,700 km) after the Nile River. Its position astride the Equator and the homogeneous distribution of its tributaries enable it to have the best river rate of flow in Africa (41,000 m3 / s) and makes it the most consistent river in the world.

The Congo River has its source in southern Katanga, in the Musofi village, at an altitude of 1,435 meters and is called Lualaba up to Kisangani.

Between Kinshasa and Matadi, The Congo River is subject to numerous bottlenecks resulting in the presence of impassible rapids with a drop of 265 meters over a length of 300 km.

At 40 km from Matadi up to Inga, the Congo River drops 102 meters in a distance of 15 km and beyond Matadi, it widens to 4.6 km in Boma and 10 km in its estuary in Banana. It flows into the sea by a wide estuary in a distance of 45 km.

The main tributaries of the Congo River are:

  • The Kasai River, which is the largest (2,000 km long), located entirely within the tropical zone of the southern hemisphere;
  • The Ubangi River, the longest tributary with 2,300 km and ranks second in the rate of flow after the river Kasai. It is located entirely within the tropical zone of the northern hemisphere;
  • The Sangha River (790 km long), has its source in Cameroon, crosses the Central African Republic and the Republic of Congo;
  • The Luvua River, which is fed by  Lake Moero, the Lukuga, which is the outlet of Lake Tanganyika and the Lomani, which has its source in the Mitumba Mountains near Kamina.

 The Congo River and its tributaries total 25,000 km of navigable waterways.

 

Domestic: KASAI RIVER

From DILOLO (Katanga) / To ILEBO / KWAMOUTH

Kasai River is the most important tributary of the Congo River and  is located entirely within the tropical zone of the southern hemisphere.

  • The river is 2,000 km long with an average rate of flow of 12,000 m³ / s. Kasai River has its source in the swamps and the lakes of Dilolo region in the southwest Katanga, on the border with Angola where it is known as the Rio Casal.
  • It flows from south to north to Ilebo where it turns west and heads to the Congo River. In many places it is the border between Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
  • The main tributaries of the Kasai are Kwango, Sankuru, Lulua, the Fimi and Kwilu.
  • The section between the confluence with the Fimi is named Kwa River.

 

International: UBANGUI RIVER

From BANGUI / KINSANGANI / BRAZZAVILLE

  • The Ubangi is the main right bank tributary of the Congo River. This river has its source from the confluence of the Mbomou and Uele Rivers.
  • The river flows west for 350 km, then south-west where it passes Bangui, and goes on about 500 km to the south and flows into the Congo River on the right bank.
  • From its source up to 100 km after Bangui, the river forms the border with the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It then forms the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo.
  • It is navigable downstream to Bangui, and boats (ferrys and pushed barges) commute from Kisangani and Brazzaville.
  • The length of the Ubangi River, from the confluence of Mbomou and Uele river is 1,120 km. However, together with the Uele, its left source, the Ubangi totals 2,272 km long.

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.6 Democratic Republic of Congo Storage Assessment

 

Due to the history of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the export economy needing such facilities, the country has inherited a massive storage capacity infrastructure. This capacity continued to expand a bit after independence but has slowly degraded due to lack of investment and maintenance. Some economic operators did try to fix and improve this potential but it is mainly located in large cities such as Kinshasa and Lubumbashi. Other cities, because of their key location in terms of domestic logistics (ie. Kisangani), still have important storage capacities but are poorly maintained.

For more information on storage companies, please see 4.6 Democratic Republic of Congo Storage and Milling Company Contact List.

Commercial Storage

A wide range of commercial storage can be found in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Matadi and Goma with the provision of handling material. Storage spaces are also available in the rest of the country but lack suitable structures. Most of the commercial warehouses are factory premises that were abandoned when the companies went bankrupt. Others are owned by various logistics service providers.

Public Sector Storage

Basically, all storage facilities belonging to the SNCC (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer du Congo) and SCTP (Société Commerciale des Transports et Ports) are, in principle, eligible for renting. These companies are partly owned by the State. Often, these warehouses are rented by big local companies, such as the brewing company BRALIMA.

As they are located in train stations, river and lake ports, they are disseminated almost all over the country (except North East). 
Here is only a few sites visited during the assessment. Please refer to the port section for more details.

Democratic Republic of Congo - 2.7 Democratic Republic of Congo Milling Assessment

The largest flour mill company of the Democratic Republic of Congo is MIDEMA (Minoterie De Matadi), established in 1973. MIDEMA mainly produces premium quality wheat flour as well as cattle feed. MIDEMA remains the only mill in the country to produce fortified flour with iron and folic acid, which has been produced since October 28, 2006 on the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO).  It is important to note that the monetary crisis that shook the world has forced many companies to close their doors, but the MIDEMA continues to resist.

 

The MIDEMA silos in Matadi port, with its own quay (n° 11).
 

MIDEMA directly employs more than 300 workers and indirectly creates thousands of jobs through its customers and the milling industry. MIDEMA's customers include bakers, distributors and "mama mikate" (street retailers), all of which, in turn, create jobs. The milling industry and has more than 1,000 bakeries, which use an average of 30 workers and deliver bread to more than 50 vendors, resulting in 80,000 indirect jobs.

The daily output of the milling industry totals 15,000 45 kg bags of wheat flour. Each 45 kg bag gives an average of 400 loaves, providing the Congolese at least 6 million loaves a day. MIDEMA is known in the Democratic Republic of Congo by the quality of its flour.

 

Heavy MIDEMA investment in Matadi with their own conveyor belt to the quay.
 

Since 2008, MIDEMA has been training its bakers with IFC, a financial arm of the World Bank,  to introduce customers to the culture of  banking. This banking has opened the doors of microcredit agencies, which gave a boost to the development of their production units. For more information on this partnership with the World Bank, please read Reaching Small and Micro Entrepreneurs in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Another investor in MIDEMA is the Seaboard Overseas and Trading Group. Beside these, there are now numerous private investors from Lebanon, India and Pakistan creating small to medium sized mill businesses in addition to large companies such as African Milling in Lubumbashi. This economic sector becomes very competitive and some historical groups, such as ORGAMAN (founded in 1931), had to cease activities due to a drastic decrease of benefits. MIDEMA is also seriously challenged by this tense economic environment.
 

For more information on milling companies in the Democratic Republic of Congo with contact details, please see the (non-exhaustive) Democratic Republic of Congo Milling Supplier Contact List and 4.6 Democratic Republic of Congo Storage and Milling Company Contact List.

Fuel Transportation

Fuel supply and storage throughout the country is done using the following entry points:

  • In the West (Bas-Congo): imported finished products (gasoline, diesel, jet A1, Avgas, oil, fuel and LPG) arrive  by tankers or by barge from the SOCIR refinery and are discharged to the oil port of Ango-Ango Matadi before being pumped through pipelines except for fuel and other oil which are transported by tankers.
  • In the South (Katanga) finished products enter through Sakania and Kasumbalesa and are either discharged to the filing of Lubumbashi, or transported by railcar to Kolwezi  and Kasai (Mwene Ditu Kananga).

Democratic Republic of Congo - 3.2 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Transporters

Overview 

In March 2022, the Institut National de la Statistique (INS) published its report, Rapport Global du Recensement General des Entreprises 2019 (available here) and reported a total of 586,587 registered companies with 1,286 from the transport & storage sectors (0,2%). The transport sector remains informal according to the Federation des Entreprises du Congo (FEC) and is estimated up to 92,8% by the INS. Transporters are mainly very small sized companies with mainly one to three trucks, although national truck companies with large  modern fleets also operate near main cities and along mining road corridors.

Rate and Contracting  

Transport costs are expensive compared to the neighboring countries. This is a result of the high number of taxes at both national and provincial levels, and additional and duplicated fees along the road. Rates are calculated based on the truck capacity (e.g. 5 mt, 10 mt), the distance and also the rainy season as this also impacts the price. Both parties have space to negotiate additional terms and conditions such as minimum lead time to book a truck, replacement in case of breakdown, cargo insurance etc. Furthermore, subcontracting is done by very small size companies to meet the customer’s capacity requirement and it’s recommended to clarify whether subcontracting is used prior to the contract signature. 

Depending on the region, trucking companies have fleet adapted to the road conditions (paved vs off road). Mechanical condition, driver experience, fleet capacity and towing service in case of breakdown are key criteria to consider during the selection process, as well as the knowledge of the area of operations considering the highly volatile security situation in DRC. In general, goods are carried into a closed metallic container to secure the cargo and to protect it during the rainy season. 

Road transport regulations   

A trucking company must have a set of administrative documents to obtain an agreement from the Ministry of Transport and Communications and legally run its business at the national level. In 2022, below is the list of mandatory documents:

  1. Insurance  

Local insurance contracted by trucking companies only covers the third-party liability, therefore cargo insurance is upon customer request. T o ensure a comprehensive and reliable service, the trucking company will subscribe an insurance from an international broker (Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania) at customer’s    expense. 
 

Organization & Structure of National Transporters

The Federation des Entreprises du Congo (FEC) is the main union, gathering all the transporters formally registered under the Congolese law. Organized under their Commission Nationale de Transport, the FEC is the main channel for dialogue and lobbying with the public and authorities at national and provincial levels, to escalate and share their concerns.  

Commission Nationale 

Comités Professionnels

Comité Professionnel des Transporteurs Routiers 

   Other

Comité Professionnel des Transporteurs Aériens 

Comité Professionnel des Agences de Voyages 

Comité Professionnel des Agents Maritimes 

Comité Professionnel des Transporteurs Fluviaux & Lacustres 

 
In addition, private associations such as ASBL (Association Sans But Lucratif) exist with the same aim to escalate at provincial level any difficulties faced to perform their activities. 

Domestic and humanitarian needs are covered by the national capacity of the market and challenges to meet both requirements were not observed during the past years. Even in case of a sudden increase of transportation needs by the humanitarian community, the available national market has been able to absorb an increase in demand.  

However, external factors such as poor rood conditions, closed borders due to security situation, destroyed bridges, floodings or port congestion must be considered and might impact the access and the lead time. Therefore, contingency stock and replenishment must be prepared in advance to avoid any disturbance within the relief activities

Democratic Republic of Congo - 3.3 Democratic Republic of Congo Manual Labor Costs

The DRC labor code (Article 40) provides that in case a daily worker has completed twenty two (22) working days over a period of two (2) months, the new contractual commitment entered into will be deemed concluded as a permanent contract. One should comply with the legal duration required by the law. Some organizations, mainly NGOs apply a shift system after completion of 15 working days in order to comply with the law. As far as UN agencies are concerned, contracted labor unions are used.

 

Democratic Republic of Congo - 3.4 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Telecommunications

Telecommunications in DRC is under the Ministère des Postes, Télécommunications et Nouvelles Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (PTNTIC) and managed through four structures : 

  • The Société congolaise de fibre optique (SOCOF) created in 2016 and oversees the construction, management, operation and maintenance of the fiber optic infrastructure. 

  • The Autorité de Régulation de la Poste et des Telecommunication du Congo (ARPTC), an independent administrative authority created in 2002 with the key role of ensuring compliance with laws, regulations and conventions in the telecommunications sector. 

  • The Réseau National de Télécommunications par Satellite (RENATELSAT) was created in 1996 and oversees the management and maintenance of the domestic satellite telecommunications network. 

  • The Société Congolaise des Postes et Télécommunications (SCPT) was created in 2008 and is responsible for the postal service.

The cell phone is currently one of the main means of communication. In 2022, four MNOs (Vodacom, Orange, Airtel, Africell) are operating in DRC with valid licenses until 2038-2039. The mobile networks only covers the main cities (e.g. Kinshasa, Matadi, Goma, Lubumbashi, Kananga, Bunia, Kalemie ) and many vast parts of the territory have no signal as are generally considered unprofitable spaces.

For information on MNOs please visit the GSM Association website

Mobile money solutions are rapidly growing over the last decade as getting cash to and from the bank is a severe problem, especially in the provinces where the security situation is volatile. During the last quarter 2021, the mobile money turnover realized by the four operators reached 53,312,934 USD (Source ARPTC).

Democratic Republic of Congo - 3.5 Democratic Republic of Congo Food and AdditionalSuppliers

Democratic Republic of Congo Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets

For information on Democratic Republic of Congo Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets contact details, please see the following link:

4.2.9 Democratic Republic of Congo Additional Service Provision Contact List

Main Food Suppliers

The most commonly eaten food is cassava (also known as manioc). The leaves are also eaten as a vegetable.

In addition, there are:

  • Wheat (flour);
  • Vegetables (fresh leaves)
  • rice
  • alcoholic beverages (beer)
  • Fresh and preserved fish (frozen mackerel, especially mpiodi)
  • plantain
  • oils and fats, especially palm oil,
  • corn grain
  • chicken
  • Sugar
  • The beef
  • beans
  • peanut.
  • Smoked fish, salted and dried

Local markets in general in the conflict-prone eastern part of the country are generally very thin (poorly supplied) as people are often afraid to travel to distant markets and thus mostly live on their own subsistence crops. Furthermore, given the generally insecure conditions, there is very little storage of food maintained for fear of theft and looting of supplies. For all practical purposes, the DRC is virtually a landlocked country. Situated on both sides of the Equator, seasons alternate between the north and south in the country, ensuring a more or less steady supply of food. One consequence of the geography and seasonality of the DRC is that almost no basic food stocks (cereals) are maintained in the country, and the availability of cereal stocks may last for at most a maximum of one month. Although there is plentiful storage capacity, most of the capacity is poorly utilized and poorly maintained. (Source: Profil des marchés pour les évaluations d’urgence en sécurité alimentaire)

Accommodation

There are many hotels and hotels in Kinshasa

Democratic Republic of Congo - 3.6 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Additional Services

The Congolese Ministry of Environment, Tourism and Nature Conservation (Ministère de l’environment, de la nature et du tourisme) is responsible for solid waste Management.  

This task is carried out through various services such as: 

  • The National Cleaning Programme (Programme National d’Assainissement) 

  • Office of Road and Drainage (Office des Voiries et drainage) 

  • National service of Rural Hydraulic (Service national d’Hydraulique Rural) 

Solid waste management activities are decentralized at Provincial level and fall under the responsibility of the Provincial Government through the environment unit. 
At the Kinshasa level, a new service called Régie d’Assainissement et des Travaux Publics de Kinshasa has been created and aims at managing all activities pertaining to cleaning and sanitation of the city. Several transitional disposal sites have been constructed in the city before the waste is evacuated to the final disposal site. 
 

For more information on the Régie d’Assainissement et des Travaux Publics de Kinshasa, please see the following website: Régie d’Assainissement et des Travaux Publics de Kinshasa Website
