A 900-tonne cargo ship docked for the first time in more than ten years at Port Bell in Kampala on Tuesday, signalling efforts are in earnest to revamp the Central Corridor trade and transport route.

The Tanzanian registered vessel, MV Umoja, had sailed from the northern Tanzania's Mwanza port on Lake Victoria.
