The construction of a $366 million terminal at the port of Mombasa continues ahead of schedule as the race for supremacy among East African ports heats up.
Work on the three-berth terminal, involves extensive land reclamation. So far, contractors — Japanese Port Consultants — have scooped 20 million tonnes of sand and 400 tonnes of stones from the deep sea to create dry land along the Indian Ocean to create space for Kenya’s second container terminal.
