Mombasa Port registered a 12 percent annual growth this year, compared with last year, as it continues to benefit from increasing delays at the regional ports, especially Dar es Salaam.

The recent influx of ships to the port has forced the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) to designate Berth 5, which has been handling conventional cargo, to accommodate containerised cargo.
