The long-awaited operations at the Lamu Port will start on May 20 when the first ship is expected to dock, National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani has said.
Yatani said the gigantic ship, owned by the Denmark-based Maersk Logistic Shipping Line, will be fitted with cargo handling gear for loading and offloading.
“We are happy that Maersk is ready to bring the first ship on May 20. All government agencies are alert to this date,” he said after visiting the facility on Thursday.
