| 摘要： | The new berth in the Port of Lamu, with a length of 400 m, width of 800 m, and draft of 17.5 m can accommodate Panamax and new Panamax vessels with a capacity of over 10,000 TEU. It became operational on 5 May 2021 after having been commissioned by Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta. The inaugural call was made by the Maersk-operated Cap Carmel on 20 May 2021. The Singaporean container ship was on its way from the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Port of Salalah in Oman. Seago Bremerhavel, which was carrying fruit exports from Kenya to France was the second vessel to call at the new port on the day the first berth was inaugurated. Lamu port, located about 240 km north of Mombasa city along the Indian Ocean's coastline, is being developed as a component of the larger $25.5 billion Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor, an infrastructure project proposed to interconnect Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. The port targets transshipment business particularly cargo destined for Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Indian Ocean islands of Zanzibar, Seychelles, Comoros, and Madagascar. |
