Expression of interest for Transaction advisory services for shimoni port development

kenya ports authority (kpa the procuring entity) seeks to engage a transaction advisor (ta) to assist in the assessment of project viability and subsequent procurement of shimoni port development through a public private partnership (ppp) arrangement. Interested eligible candidates are required to express their interest as provided in this eoi. Kenya’s strategic location along the indian ocean coast and its inland waters endows the country with great opportunities and potential for development of a maritime economy. Kenya is the main gateway and pre-eminent transportation hub for the east and central african regions. The kenyan coastline provides food, transportation, recreation and homes. Indeed, maritime transport, tourism and fishing are important aspects of the country’s socio-economic structure. Kenya ports authority (kpa) operates under the ministry of transport and infrastructure and it’s fully owned by the government of kenya. Kpa is responsible for administering the port of mombasa as well as maintenance, operation, improvement and regulation of the sea ports of funzi, kilifi, kiunga, lamu, malindi, mtwapa, shimoni and vanga on the mainland coast of kenya. Kpa also manages three inland container depots in nairobi, kisumu and eldoret and has three liaison offices in kampala, kigali and bujumbura to cater for transit countries. The proposed ppp project shimoni is situated off wasini, an island off the south coast. It is one of kenya’s southern ports, with the area having a population of about 215, 000 inhabitants on an area of 3, 267 square kilometers. The port is rather small and has limited connectivity to the hinterland. The present port is at a distance of about 4 km along the access channel to the open sea and the area is secure for navigation and fishing activities. Shimoni, with current volumes of approximately 10, 000 metric tons, by far is the largest port of all coastal small ports in the field of coastal trade. Destinations are mainly pemba island and zanzibar. Based on general economic growth, the port has the potential to accommodate increasing coastal trade volumes. The current jetty is originally a fisheries jetty built by the government and acts as the only facility of community transportation, including: tourism, fishing and trade. Shimoni has a wide well-sheltered deep channel for large sea-going vessels. Shimoni port is located along a well sheltered creek with a few patches of mangrove vegetation. The draft is substantially deep for medium sea vessels. Shimoni is bordered by kisite-mpunguti marine national park that has rich marine life including fish and sea mammals. The area also attracts whales during certain times of the year and is a major tourist attraction. Extensive mangroves are present since the channel has no steep rocky cliffs. The scope of the services shall be as follows: the transacti
