This will see the virus-hit KPA enhance efforts to curb the spread of coronavirus at its key installations. Maersk’s East Africa Port captain Sharon Delphine said the firm is committed to continue supporting the Port of Mombasa, in a bid to ensure business continuity. KPA says it has rolled out strict mandatory procedures for ship crew and vessels, to ensure the disease is not exported in the course of carrying out maritime trade. According to (Rtd) General Kibwana the measures have proven effective because since the advent of the pandemic, no ship crew has been found to be positive with the virus. "As KPA, we look forward to more cooperation with a view to supporting efficiency and business growth,” KPA acting Managing Director Rashid Salim said during the launch of the new service.
