Cruise Ship Terminal 95 Per Cent Complete
From @PDUDelivers
The newly built Cruise Ship Terminal located at the Port of Mombasa, built at a cost of Ksh.1 billion, is 95 per cent complete. The three-storyed building will accommodate port health facilities, logistics, immigration and duty-free shops among others. It is expected to bolster Kenya’s tourism sector by offering visitors a one-stop-shop for travel and hospitality services.
On average, a cruise ship can accommodate over 400 passengers and 300 crew members. These numbers rise during tourism peak seasons. Previously, cruise ships have been docking at the cargo terminal.
This new facility will offer a dedicated section for these ships to dock at the port of Mombasa, the region’s busiest port. This will enhance the tourism destination attractiveness of Mombasa, and Kenya at large.
