The POT Of Gold

The Port of Mombasa is the main gateway to the Eastern African region, serving a wide and rapidly growing hinterland consisting of Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Northern Tanzania, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia and Somalia. The Port provides services to a region that is home to nearly 250 million people. It is essential for import and export transportation since it has direct connections to more than 80 seaports across the world and 33 shipping lines that make port calls. The effectiveness of the Port has a significant impact on the economies of the nations it serves, and if operated well and developed in line with rising trade demands, it may unleash the region's growth potential.
