2 million fertiliser bags arrive at Mombasa Port

Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, and CMA CGM have suspended Suez transits. Ships are rerouting via the Cape — driving longer delivery times and higher fuel costs. What this means for African trade and import-dependent economies →

Kisumu Port, East Africa’s largest inland waterway port is undergoing a major expansion as KPA is angling to boost the port’s cargo handling capacity and strengthen regional transport links. 🔧 Key upgrades being undertaken include ✔ Quay extension: 262m → 392m → more vessels can dock simultaneously ✔ Yard expansion beyond 3,000 sqm ✔ New warehouse underway ✔ Drainage repairs The Authority is also investing in intermodal links, with a new access road to ease truck traffic and a Meter-gauge rail being laid to connect to the linkspan and enhance cargo transfer. Long-term plans include linking with the SGR. Passenger services returning with a new ferry and passenger terminal under development to revive lake transport. These upgrades are part of a broader government push to restore inland water transport across the Lake Victoria basin. KPA is also developing smaller ports including Sio Port, Usenge Pier, Muhuru Bay to build a connected network of landing sites.

Invest in Kenya; our clarion call to Investors

KPA Mombasa Port Berth 19B by CCCC is at 30%. 250 meters length, 300,000 TEUs capacity. Another timely expansion at the port that is achieving record cargo volumes YoY.

Construction of the Usenge Pier in Bondo, Siaya County, has begun after a groundbreaking ceremony led by His Excellency President @WilliamsRuto . Phase one, set for completion in six months, is part of a KES 600M project by the KPA. It will encompass supply, installation/construction, testing, commissioning and handing over of earthworks (cut, fill and leveling), perimeter wall, main gate and guard house. Others include landscaping works and construction of 25 m wide by 200 m long jetty. The new pier will serve as a modern fish landing site and transport hub, cutting road travel time from Kisumu by half an hour. The site will position Lake Victoria as suitable for port logistics, cargo handling transportation, passenger movement and fish processing while accelerating the economic development within the lake region. KPA, as the leading Government implementing agency, has successfully driven the vision with upgrades progressing in smaller lake ports starting with the launch of the first phase of Homa Bay Pier in May 2025. Similar developments are planned for Sio Port, Asembo Bay, Mbita, Muhuru Bay, Karugu and Luanda K'Otieno. These are the nodes that will connect the lakeside communities providing efficient and reliable water transport. @SDoT_Kenya @PSSDTransport @TransportKE @mohamed_daghar @davis_chirchir
