About This Seaport

About 1,250 tonnes of fish a year cross the pier at Malindi, alongside several thousand tourist boat movements – a fair measure of how modest this Kenyan port's freight role really is. The facility sits on an exposed stretch of coast 120 km north of Mombasa and functions chiefly as a fish-landing site, with small historical exports of cotton, sesame and copra. It offers no container handling, no dry dock and no customs cargo clearance, so it suits local catch and small craft rather than commercial liner traffic. The Kenya Ports Authority lists Malindi among its small ports and plans upgrades for fish landing, cold storage and tourism. Forwarders moving containers or cleared imports route through Mombasa to the south, with Lamu emerging for larger project shipments.
