Benefits of the Lamu-Mombasa Railway Link

• To link the Port of Lamu to Nairobi, the capital city via the East African Railway.

• In accordance to Government policy which is against heavy truck loading on roads.

• To offer flexibility and choice of port (between Lamu Port and Mombasa Port) to both importers and exporters.

• To introduce double railway track system to ease traffic.

Benefits of the Lamu-Mombasa Railway Link

• To boost regional business by offering economies of scale to both importers and exporters by making use of large ships (Super Post Panamax vessels ) with capacity of 8,000 teu which can only dock at Lamu Port.

• To create a competitive edge over the proposed US$11 bn. Bagamoyo Port project, Tanzania who’s potential in the region threatens business in Kenyan Ports as the main regional hub.

Benefits of the Lamu-Mombasa Railway Link

• Railway transport offers an economical and efficient transport system to supply building materials, labour and component parts which are necessary for the growth of Lamu’s infrastructure as the largest port city in Africa.

• The presence of a railway offers an incentive to investors and entrepreneurs from the public and private sector and also from the international spheres.

Benefits of the Lamu-Mombasa Railway Link

Land acquisition for railway construction in the region is economically feasible due to:

– It is partly owned by the Government.

– There are no major permanent structures on course.

– Railway reserve required is relatively less than that required for road reserve.

Benefits of the Lamu-Mombasa Pipeline Link

• To aid in funding the bridge.

• To supply refined oil from The Lamu Refinery to the existing Kenyan Pipeline Network for storage or consumption. (This is the pipeline Network that links

Mombasa to Kisumu through Nairobi, Nakuru and Eldoret. )

• To offer Mombasa Refinery as a substitute to the Lamu Refinery during surplus or break downs.

• To provide a pipeline to supply the Aviation fuel depots.

Conclusion

For optimized engineering economy, such bridges as this are required over rivers and impossible terrain for the transportation sector, industrialization sector and the mining sector for the economy at regional and national level.
