Kenya Ports Authority’s equipment modernization has got a major boost today following the arrival of four new Ship to Shore Cranes (STSs) at the Port of Mombasa.
The four new generation STSs, which are replacing the recently decommissioned cranes at berth 16, have the capacity for twin lift, as opposed to the old generation single lift.
The equipment acquisition and modernization are part of KPA’s plans as it flexes its muscles in regional Port competition.
Managing Director Capt. William Ruto says this will double berth productivity and reduce ship working time at berth by nearly 40 percent, enhancing the port’s efficiency and competitiveness.
