The Port of Mombasa is capitalising on inefficiencies at the Port of Dar es Salaam as shipping companies opt for the expeditious and cost-effective route through Kenya.

Last week, the MV Jolly Giada arrived at the Port of Mombasa, unloading 2,000 Tonne Equivalent Units at the harbour.

The Kenya Ports Authority reported a surge in initial calls to the Port of Mombasa, attributing the growth to operational efficiency enhancements that have significantly reduced ship waiting times. Furthermore, the average container dwell time decreased to 3.5 days from 3.9 days in 2022, marking a 10 percent improvement.

Transit traffic witnessed robust growth, reaching 10.4 million tonnes in the 11 months leading up to November 2023.
