CMA CGM plans to invest $820 million in the Port of Mombasa to strengthen port infrastructure, expand container handling capacity and enhance regional logistics connectivity in East Africa. The proposed investment is expected to support modernisation of port operations and improve cargo movement efficiency across key trade routes.
The project is likely to include development of terminal infrastructure, advanced cargo handling systems and integrated logistics services aimed at increasing throughput capacity and reducing turnaround times. Industry sources said the investment aligns with growing trade demand in the region and the need for improved maritime infrastructure to support expanding import and export activity.
Market analysts noted that the expansion could reinforce the Port of Mombasa’s role as a major gateway for East and Central Africa while strengthening CMA CGM’s presence in the African logistics and shipping market. The investment is also expected to support regional trade integration, supply chain development and long-term economic growth.
