According to Gordon Opiyo
Under the leadership of Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen the Port of Mombasa has been scaling new heights every month. It is under CS Murkomen that the two leading freight companies relocated from Durban to Mombasa……and yesterday the Port of Mombasa welcomed MSC Poesia, a luxury cruise liner from the Mediterranean Shipping Company.
She is carrying 2500 passengers from different nationalities and 1000 crew members of which twenty are Kenyans.
With a length overall of 294 metres, MSC Poesia is one of the biggest cruise vessels to have docked at the Port, coming barely a month since the port hosted another luxury liner, Norwegian Dawn.
To be able to add value and support Cruise Tourism, KPA has invested in the requisite infrastructure, including the state-of-the-art cruise terminal to cement Kenya’s status as a hub not only in cargo operations but also cruise tourism in Africa.
