The longest-ever vessel to call on the Mombasa port has berthed, targeting to pick up more than 5,000 cargo containers that would free up massive space at the main gateway.
The Mv Kotka, currently sailing under the flag of Liberia and operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, is 318 metres long and 42.92 meters wide. This is equivalent to three football fields end to end.
