Maersk Shipping Line has said only dangerous cargo will be affected in its April review of tariffs on goods imported through the Port of Mombasa.

The global shipping giant controls about 40 per cent of cargo that passes through Mombasa. Regional Communication Manager Kerry Rosser said only five per cent of the cargo will be affected.
