Recently Murkomen, Kenya's Transport Minister and Zhou Pingjian, Chinese Ambassador in Kenya attend the delivery ceremony of ZPMC's rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes at Naivasha ICD station.

At the ceremony, Murkomen says that the Nariobi-Malaba Railway where the Naivasha ICD station located is a model of friendship and cooperation between China and Kenya. Kenya appreciates China's contributions to Kenya's infrastructure, and hopes that China will continue to support the construction of Kenya's standard gauge railways, extend the standard gauge railway to Malaba at the Kenya-Uganda border, and promote the economic development in Kenya and East Africa.

Zhou Pingjian stresses that China attaches great importance to China-Kenya relations, and will support Kenya's development as always. Besides, China is willing to explore more cooperation models for Kenya's development.

Naivasha ICD station is located along the Nariobi-Malaba Railway (Nairobi-Malaba Standard Gauge Railway), which is built under the help of CCCC and serves as a passenger and freight railway connecting Nairobi and Busia county in the Republic of Kenya. The Nariobi-Malaba Railway is an extension of the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway, the second section of East African railway network and the flagship project in Kenya Vision 2030. The Naivasha Inland Container Depot is not only a part of Kenya's railway transportation system, but also a part of the East African railway network under the Chinese government's Belt and Road Initiative. ZPMC provides all the crane equipment of the railway container yard along the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway.

So far, ZPMC has provided 24 sets of port machinery equipment for Kenya's Mombasa-Nairobi Railway and Nariobi-Malaba Railway, and all the equipment has been successfully put into service. In the future, ZPMC will continue to contribute to the development of Kenya Railway and East Africa.
