Cargo volume through the Mombasa port grew by 8.1percent in the first six months of 2025, lifted by upgrades of new cargo-handling infrastructure, which improved the turnaround time for ships, the gateway’s management said.
The port handled 21.3 million tonnes of cargo between January and June 2025, up from 19.7 million tonnes in a similar period in 2024, despite facing supply chain challenges, including disruptive attacks by the Houthi rebel group on the Red Sea route.
