Maersk, the Danish shipping conglomerate, has issued a customer advisory warning clients of anticipated cargo delays at Kenya's Port of Mombasa.
The company attributes the current berthing congestion to increased yard density and equipment challenges.
This is likely to affect various goods, including food and non-food items set for the Kenyan and other regional markets like South Sudan, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), that depend on the port.
In a statement, Maersk said it has encountered higher-than-expected yard occupancy in recent weeks, leading to delays in vessel berthing and departures.
