Lamu Port received its second car vessel, which was transporting 3800 cars from Yokohama, Japan, originally destined for Port Jebel Ali, Dubai, following the ongoing conflict.
The vessel, Grande Florida, belongs to Grimaldi Shipping Line. It has a capacity of 9,000.
This brings the total number of vehicles received at the port to over 4,200. The vehicles will be stored in the Port’s warehouses.
Lamu Port is expecting more vessels to divert, as several shipping agents have already inquired about docking space. Port activity is expected to progress upwards as the year goes by.
