Mombasa, Kenya: The Port of Mombasa handled the one millionth container even as stakeholders protested government bureaucracies that have inhibited growth of transshipment trade at the facility.
In 2008, Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) suspended transshipment business due to congestion occasioned by post-election violence and problems in implementation of the Kilindini Waterfront Automated Terminal Operations System (Kwatos) at the port.
