Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya Shipyard Limited (KSL) has received six orders from Tanzania and Uganda for the construction of ships, raising the business prospects of the newly formed entity.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s deputy director, Peter Muthungu, added that it had another 11 orders from local firms for the construction of the ships.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn total, we have got 17 orders from different companies that want us to construct ships for them,\u201d said Col Muthungu.<\/p>\n

Col Mathungu, however, did not give the cost of making one ship, pointing out that the process needs to undergo three evaluation stages before the final figure is arrived at.<\/p>\n

Kenya’s government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna said Kenya is keen on utilising the shipyard across the region given that it\u2019s the only facility currently around.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shipyard will play a significant role not only in Kenya but also in handling ship-related issues across our neighbouring countries,\u201d said Rtd Col Oguna.<\/p>\n

The firm is seeking to leverage the 40 percent tax waiver on shipbuilding equipment by Treasury to increase its operations in the region.<\/p>\n

KSL says its partnership with Damen Construction Company, which has shipyards in South Africa and Egypt and 39 shipyards across the globe, will enhance Kenya\u2019s quest to be a regional ship construction hub in its long term strategy.<\/p>\n
