The volume of transit cargo at the Mombasa port has grown marginally despite a multi-million dollar expansion and modernisation programme that has boosted efficiency and turnaround time from five to two-and-a-half days.
The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) annual performance report shows that transit goods traffic increased by 1.1 per cent to 7.75 million tonnes.
