Transshipment traffic at the Port of Mombasa is set to bounce back strongly this year, bolstered by an improved performance in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The steady growth outlook for the month of January shows significant improvement in the transshipment segment in the current quarter.

According to Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Ag. Head of Container Operations Patrick Makau, transshipment traffic by PIL (K) shipping Line vessels alone registered 8,106 Twenty Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in the month of December 2020 up from 7,729 TEUs in November.

 

This follows a sharp increase in cargo vessels calling at the port during this period, with ten container vessels expected to dock on Friday.

Makau said container operations report for the week ending, 20th January 2021 indicated a ship average working time of 3.19 days, while the import container dwell time recorded 4.69 days.

“The container terminals have been very busy having increased markedly the cargo volumes handled.  We are looking forward to posting improved performance this year now that business normalcy is slowly returning,“ said Makau

The KPA official revealed that a total of 13,057 TEUs (Full and empty) were expected to be discharged while another 13,069 TEUs were to be loaded for export.

Makau added that “container deliveries by road transport registered 6,324 TEUs, compared to 5,024 TEUs by the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).”

He said the impressive performance trend recorded at the port in 2019 was curtailed by the Covid-19 pandemic which affected businesses across the globe last year.

“Transshipment segment posted a total of 211,604 TEU’s compared to 121, 577 TEU’s in 2018, representing a growth of 70 percent.  The performance later slumped to 175, 827 TEU’s in 2020,” said Makau.

Makau was upbeat saying despite the setbacks, KPA is hopeful that the Port will attract more business this year, as some of the key infrastructure development projects are also set to be complete by the end of the year.

The official noted that the new Kipevu Oil Terminal (KOT) which is to be ready by the end of this year will increase the oil handling capacity at the port.

“The Authority assures stakeholders and customers of smooth delivery of services following a decision reached by partner agencies,” he added.

Meanwhile, normalcy in container deliveries especially transit containers is expected to resume after a lull occasioned by internet shut down in Uganda, the leading port transit customer.

  1114. If you paint the cabinets yourself (assuming that you do a good paint job) then the paint should look decent for at least a couple of years before it might start to need maintenance. Painting cabinet doors not only adds freshness to your kitchen look but also saves the face frames, base cabinets and cabinet boxes from water damage. It’s useful to know how to repair water damaged cabinetry. But obviously regarding the paint on your cabinets, this is very subjective and depends on your kitchen and how much you use it regularly. It is generally recommended you choose a high sheen paint for your cabinets. High sheen paints are easier to clean and may last longer than matte finishes for cabinets. In fact, this will be the best time to make these changes, as you’ll already have your cabinets disassembled in order to do the refinishing work. New drawer pulls and door handles can do at least as much to update a kitchen’s style as a new color or stain for the surface. There are also modern accessories that make life fun in the kitchen, like slide-out spice racks, soft-close drawers, in-cabinet pot hangers, and concealed hinges. These options can help transform an entire kitchen from outdated to fresh and brand new! If you’re looking for a whole home remodel, you may also want to consult home remodeling company for advice. https://wiki-velo.win/index.php/Add_second_floor_to_ranch_house_cost A midrange bathroom remodel can bring back an average of 60% of the amount you spend in a home sale, according to the Cost vs. Value 2021 tool from Remodeling magazine. Its data considers a midrange project to cost about $24,000. An upscale bathroom remodel, costing about $75,000, will have a return on investment of just less than 55%, according to the magazine. Materials and fixtures are where you can save or splurge, and your choices will greatly affect the project’s overall cost. On average, cabinets and hardware account for 16 percent of a bathroom remodel’s cost. Faucets and plumbing are 15 percent of the cost, tied with fixtures (like toilets and tubs), which account for yet another 15 percent. Do your homework on these expenditures because there is a huge range of materials available, across a wide spectrum of quality and price.
