The value of the cargo on board was estimated at USD 14 Billion. Already four of the Korean company’s vessels are under arrest and nine are detained under embargo.

On the 20th of July, China signed an undertaking to invest USD 7.6 Billion in a major rail project to link the Tanzanian Indian Ocean ports, including the main box terminal at Dar es Salam, with cities in the centre and west of the country. The loan was agreed during a meeting in the Tanzanian capital, Dodoma, which will be one of the major beneficiaries of the new standard-gauge rail line. From the capital, the new railway will continue west to Kigoma on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. Other lines will link the capital and the main sea port with Lake Victoria, as well as the neighbouring country of Burundi. A total of 2,200 km of single rail track will be laid in Tanzania and much of the main line will follow the route of the existing metre-gauge track.
