Sheltered behind a road bridge on Kilifi Creek, this Kenyan anchorage is a scene of yachts, dhows and small fishing boats rather than cargo ships. Run by the Kenya Ports Authority as one of its minor coastal ports, Kilifi has no container or general-cargo terminals, and proposals to add fish-landing docks and marina berths remain unconfirmed. Freight forwarders handling Kenyan import or export volumes route through Mombasa, East Africa's busiest box port at roughly 2.65 million TEU.
