New Dry Port opened at Mombasa by APM Terminals
The new facility is one of East Africa’s largest and most technologically advanced CFS operations, with direct rail links to both the port and inland commercial and population centres of Nairobi and Kampala. Offices of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) as well as a banking facility for clearing terminal and custom’s charges are all located on-site.
