Lo scorso anno il porto di Mombasa ha movimentato 11,9 milioni di tonnellate di merci (+12,9%)

Nel 2003 il porto di Mombasa ha registrato un traffico di 11,9 milioni di tonnellate di merci, con una progressione del 12,9% sul 2002. La crescita - ha spiegato oggi la Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) - è stata favorita dal miglioramento delle economie delle nazioni limitrofe, in particolare di quelle dell'Uganda, del Rwanda e della Tanzania.

Per adeguarsi alle nuove normative internazionali sulla sicurezza che entreranno in vigore il prossimo 1' luglio, la Kenya Ports Authority ha in programma di investire 7,5 milioni di dollari per incrementare il livello di security nel porto di Mombasa costruendo muri di recinzione, posizionando telecamere a circuito chiuso e addestrando il personale.
