This is a milestone for the East Africa Lake region as it will enhance lake transport and trade between Port Bell, Mwanza, Jinja and Kisumu port.
Lake transport is on a steady rise as East Africa Countries of Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya work towards connecting the region and improving trade through the shared Lake Victoria.
This is evidenced by the rise of cargo throughput handled in Kisumu Port, with the inland water way port handling 127,745 metric tons of cargo in 2023 compared to 69,456 metric tons in 2022.
MV Mpungu is the latest addition to the fleet of vessels plying the lake region.
