Introduction
Structural changes in international trade and the evolution of maritime transport have a direct impact on port growth and expansion
World Seaborne Trade Maritime accounts for 80% of the global World Seaborne Trade by Cargo Type and

Key Drivers of Global Trade
Evolution of Container Trade
Since the 1960s and 1970s vessel capacity grew, individually and collectively
Only ten years ago, the largest Panamax vessels carried 4,400 TEU
Today, the threshold of post Panamax mega carriers of 15,000 TEU and soon to be surpassed when Triple E – expected to raise the threshold to 18,000 TEU (expected in the market by 2013)

In 2008, a global container fleet of 4,661 vessels held a capacity of 12.1 million TEU
Designs for vessels as 18,000 TEU are expected in the market by 2013
In 2020, vessels of up to 20,000+ TEU are expected
This will in turn drive the radical reduction of port calls on major route and push for development of global mega ports served by fully integrated global networks
Evolution of shipping
As a result of dredging the Port of Mombasa received the highest number of “first-calls”, with MSC TIA being the largest with 261m length overall (LOA) and carrying capacity of about 4000 TEU
Evolution of shipping
Modern handling equipment- size of STS gantry cranes depends on ships size
Higher Drafts- puts pressure to carry out expensive dredging works (channel, berth)
Improved cargo handling capacity: yard, new berths
Intermodal facilities: rail and road IT infrastructures: cargo operation systems,
traffic management in the port, billing, gate operations etc. and their integration
Improve port planning and operations
Impact on Port Infrastructures
24/7 Operations Development of CFS Dredging of Mombasa Port Procuring Additional Equipment Construction of Berth 19 Integrated Security System Second Container Terminal Development of Crude Oil Handling Facility Development of Dongo Kundu Free Port LAPSSET
Measures taken by KPA
Conclusion
The port has increasingly been receiving larger vessels, which includes Panamax vessels The port has experienced one of the highest growth rates in trafficVarious investments and other measures have been undertaken to serve the growing trafficThere is need for concerted effort by all stakeholders to facilitate cargo clearance and cargo fluidity
