The Supreme Court has cancelled a decision by the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) awarding Portside Freight Terminals Limited a tender to develop a second bulk grain handling facility at the port.

Portside had been selected to construct a grain facility and an island berth at the G-Section area to handle all grains and other dry bulk cargo, operating as a common user facility with “priority berthing” rights for a period of 33 years, renewable.
