THE STANDARD BUSINESS NEWS By Xinhua | April 13th 2021 A Chinese-built seaport in Kenya's coastal island of Lamu will be operational in June, a Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) official said on Monday. China Communications Construction Company has already completed construction of the first three berths of the port, Bernard Osero, head of KPA corporate affairs, told Xinhua over the phone. "Lamu port will specialize in handling containers and oil cargo between the east African hinterland and the rest of the world," he said.
