privately owned harbour fronting yard, which
lies approximately 2 ˝ Km from Mombasa Town Centre, by way of Moi Avenue,
Tangana Road and Mikanjuni Road. Access to these roads is via the Southern

The Base comprises 10.75 acres of open and covered storage space, office
space and facilities, crawler cranes up to 150tonnes capacity, a marine
engineering workshop and a 24hour Operations Centre,

provide a facility unequalled on the East Coast of Africa.
 Secured by a perimeter fence and only accessible by land via two security
gates each manned 24 hours a day by fully trained security personnel
equipped with radio communications, panic buttons and VESP (Verification
Entry Standard Procedures).
Sea access is controlled by additional security
personnel who patrol the jetty area. By night, KMC Base is fully
illuminated by a series of light sensitive high wattage sodium floodlights
to provide facility for 24 hour operations where required and to ensure that

together with two additional patrolmen complete the night security
complement.
