The volume of cargo handled through the Mombasa port recovered last year to grow 6.23 percent on the back of the State’s renewed push to improve efficiency amid looming threat from Dar es Salaam.
East Africa’s largest and busiest seaport handled about 35.84 million tonnes of goods compared with 33.74 million tonnes the year before, the data collated by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics shows.
