The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) targets to accommodate medium-range container ships with a new Sh15.7 billion ($ 122.030 million) upgrade project at the Mombasa port which will also include the construction of a new berth.
Disclosures showed that KPA will this year construct a new berth 19B to serve container ships of 45,000 Deadweight Tonnage (DWT) and to have a design depth of Construction Datum Level (CDL) of 13.5metres-- a level so low that the tide will not frequently fall below it.
