Kenya Ports Authority has shortlisted 12 international firms for the Sh12.1 billion Kipevu Oil Terminal relocation project in Mombasa. The modern oil terminal will have a capacity to accommodate four vessels of up to 200,000 deadweight tonnage. KPA opened the pre-qualification tender for the terminal’s construction works on May 17, where no local firm qualified. The 12 were picked out of 31 firms from more than 15 countries that submitted the initial bids for the project advertised on March 23.
