Efficiency at the port of Mombasa is set to be boosted after the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) acquired a Sh1.9 billion multipurpose salvage tugboat and three ship-to-shore gantry cranes at Sh3.3 billion.
The salvage tugboat bought from Turkey and three ship-to-shore gantry cranes from Japan will boost efficiency and bulk handling activities at the second container terminal. This follows President Uhuru Kenyatta’s order for port efficiency to boost businesses in East Africa.
