Working discipline, space utilisation and inventive business men
Monday, 22 Jun 2009
After two days with many visits to the WFP facilities in and around the Port of Mombasa I finally have an idea of the magnitude of WFP's port operations. The new boom in food aid for the Horn of Africa is causing problems. Good warehousing in the Port is scarce while there is plenty of open space to develop and or warehouses to renovate within the Port’s premises.
Businessmen used this chance to step into a lucrative business renting out warehouse space outside the port. Unfortunately these warehouses are difficult to reach due to congestion (chickens crossing) and bad or actually no roads at all which causes major logistical inefficiencies.
The single fully equipped bulk handling company, GBHL, has too little capacity to deal with the increased throughput. Currently the alternative is to step back to a slow bagging operation by the port authority on other quays and use conventional grap unloaders to unload the ships. This operation will lead to a much longer berth time and thus higher cost.
After discussions with the people from WFP and another visit to the port the conclusion was that the solution which should be further investigated would be in two directions: A new WFP warehouse in the Port and a WFP controlled efficient bagging operation close to the quayside. Together with an office on the Port’s premises this would be a major step forwards to a lean and more effective operation.
So far the project related stuff, tomorrow will already be my last day of this tremendous experience in Kenya. I’m sad to leave this wonderful place behind. It would be great if this plan could be put together within reasonable time. That’s what amazes me most. Kenya’s mentality seems to be that of sprinting a marathon with 50 kg on your head (see video) while some plans can move very slow or get stuck in bureaucracy for ever.

Mombasa
Submitted on June 22nd, 2009 by Perry (not verified)Hi Ed. Good to hear that you already have an initial plan and shared understanding with the local team on the direction. Please make sure that you get as many pics and tape as possible to give the team back in Amsterdam, Liege, Northampton, Singapore, Sydney, Torino, Houten, and Troisdorf the best possible impression of what is required to assist WFP in Mombasa. Look forward to see you on Wednesday and listen to all your stories. Enjoy your last day and bring something for our office to "proof" that you have been to this wonderfull part of the globe. Take care!
