Kisumu Port is rapidly solidifying its place in East Africa's transport and logistics chain, following a significant increase in cargo throughput and vessel traffic.

A recent report by the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) reveals that the revitalised port handled 280,381 metric tons (MT) of cargo in 2024, more than double the 116,578 MT recorded in 2023.
