coal cargo alone is more than what Lamu port handles!720k tonnes will pass via ports in a year
that is 30,000 TEUs
Kenya’s second commercial port in Lamu was meant to boost operations but 11 months after launch, the facility has only been able to handle 11 vessels, with throughput of 1,821 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), according to Kenya Port Authority’s (KPA) data.
Poor, congested roads erect more hurdles on cargo routes from ports
Incentives offered to shipping lines are not yet attractive due to inadequate infrastructure.
