The Port of Mombasa is the largest seaport in Kenya and serves as a vital gateway for trade in East Africa. Located on the Indian Ocean, it handles a significant portion of the region's cargo, including imports and exports of goods such as petroleum, agricultural products, and manufactured items. Established in the late 19th century, the port has undergone extensive development to accommodate larger vessels and increase efficiency. It plays a crucial role in the economies of neighboring countries like Uganda, Rwanda, and South Sudan, facilitating regional trade and transportation.
