Disruption in global maritime transport occasioned by the US-Israel-Iran conflict is putting pressure on African ports, including Kenya’s Mombasa and Lamu, as more than 4,000 vehicles destined for the United Arab Emirates were this week offloaded in the facilities and another 10,000 expected in the coming days.
But the other main port in the region, Dar es Salaam, is receiving fewer vessels comparatively, due to what marine experts say are “problems in handling cargo.”
