Kenya Ports Authority registers more gains in first quarter

MOMBASA COUNTY: The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has announced that its port capacity expansion programme is on track. Managing Director Gichiri Ndua said the first quarter of 2014 registered more gains compared to the same period last year.

Ndua said that in January 2014, the port began enjoying the benefits of the extension and dredging of the container terminal. This is when a WAF MAX-class MV Maersk Cairo, designed for large sea ports with a carrying capacity of 4,530 twenty-foot equivalent containers (teus) docked at the port.
