The Port of Mombasa has registered a growth in cargo throughput in the first nine months of this year against high global inflation.

Data from the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) shows that between January and September this year, cargo throughput, container and transit traffic grew by three per cent compared to the same period last year.
