The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has announced an increase in tariffs for services at the Port of Mombasa, set to take effect from September 15, 2025. This move signals higher costs for importers and has drawn concerns from various stakeholders.

• Tariffs for seaports services will increase significantly, in some cases from Ksh3,000 to Ksh15,000.
• The KPA's Managing Director, Captain William Ruto, stated the new charges are in line with the KPA Act of 1978 and followed consultations with stakeholders locally and in the East African region.
• The Kenya Transporters Association has criticized the government, claiming the new rates were implemented without adequate consultation and could prompt retaliation from other countries.
