The Kenya Ports Authority(KPA) has begun offloading cargo from a barge that ran aground more than two months ago as it exited the Mombasa Port for the neighbouring Dar es Salaam while carrying 209 containers.
The Mombasa port manager said some 96 cargo containers have so far been offloaded from the grounded vessel owned by Comarco but hired by Ms I Messina. The barge ran aground on May 29 off the Leven Reef.
