Kenya Ports Authority gets modern electric cranes

Cranes being offloaded at the port of Mombasa.

Cargo handling at the Mombasa Port got a major boost earlier this week with the arrival of two ultra-modern diesel-electric cranes.

Eco-hoppers, which will be received in December to complement the cranes, will provide dust and spillage-free unloading through a control system that minimises escape of dust during discharge and reduces running expenses on average by 30 per cent.
