Completion of the new Kipevu Oil Terminal in Mombasa will see Kenya double its capacity to handle transit petroleum products to Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi starting January 2022 from the current 35,000 tonnes.

The $385 million terminal can handle up to four vessels at a time compared with the old terminal that can handle only one.
