Absence of modern vessels, railway connections and cargo handling facilities at ports continue to hamper efforts to revive trade and transport on Lake Victoria between Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
Port Bell, for instance, is Uganda’s main link to Kenya and Tanzania through the Kisumu and Mwanza ports, but until recently, was abandoned with ships plying the route grounded.
