MOMBASA C.T. PHASE TWO COMPLETED…

This phase, when operational, is designed to add new capacity equivalent to 450,000TEU/yr and incorporates one new 300m berth. Phase One, commissioned in 2016, introduced 550,000TEU/yr of new capacity and overall the Phase Two addition will bring Mombasa’s total annual container capacity up to 2.1mTEU/yr.

As with the Phase One development at the time of its introduction, there has been considerable speculation about whether Phase Two will be offered for operation by the private sector. Traditionally, Mombasa port unions strongly oppose this idea, however, with a national election scheduled for August 9 the matter is unlikely to be settled in the short-term.
