Last Monday, the port received the longest ever ship to call at the port of Mombasa, MV Ital Mattina. The Mombasa Port expansion programme has enabled the facility to accommodate bigger vessels, the management has said. In February this year, the port management opened the second container terminal after completion of the first phase. On April 25, the second container terminal received its first ever ship. “The second container terminal has 10 ship-to-shore cranes, a very high crane concentration on the 840 metres, to give us high productivity,” Mturi said.
