New Kent Dry Port to Reduce Cargo Pressure at Water Quay

A new dry port facility in Kent is expected to significantly ease cargo congestion at Freetown’s Queen Elizabeth II Water Quay. Constructed by the local firm Gento Group, the project aims to modernize Sierra Leone’s shipping logistics and boost trade across the region.
Government officials, including Chief Minister Dr David Moinina Sengeh, recently inspected the site to assess its progress. The Chief Minister described the development as a major step forward, praising the private partnership for turning investment promises into real economic opportunities.
