Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) head of corporate affairs, Bernard Osero, attributed this to improvements in truck traffic control in and out of the port. The daily cargo flow, he said, had increased from 1,200 to an average of 1,700 containers.
“Re-routing of trucks heading to and from the port by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has drastically reduced congestion to the Port’s Kipevu gate,” Osero said.
He said that port clearance has also improved, with a new thrice-daily verification schedule at 09:30, 12:00 and 16:00 hours. He added that transhipment cargo operations have shifted to Berth 19 for ro-ro shippers creating more working space for transit traffic.
