The first phase of Lamu Port is 75 per cent complete and the first berth is expected to become operational this month. President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to open the first berth anytime this month, the Kenya Ports Authority management said. The Lamu Port-Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) Development Authority confirmed that the second and third berths are 57 per cent complete. Lamu Port is likely to meet government timelines of having the first three berths complete by next year's fourth quarter. The authority is luring shippers, importers, exporters and the regional markets, mainly Ethiopia, to use Lamu Port.
