Grain Bulk Handlers Ltd - Mombasa, Kenya

The history of Grain Bulk Handlers Limited is a story of 30 years of dedication by Mohamed Jaffer who recognised the need to revolutionize the handling of bulk grain and fertilizer imports at the Port of Mombasa.

The ambitious project was conceived at a time when the handling of bulk grain imports at Mombasa involved combined use of grabs, vacuuvators and mobile bagging plants situated at the quayside.

This mode of handling was characterized by: Low vessel discharge rates, heavy spillage during discharge operations, heavy dust emission and poor accounting for discharged quantities thus making the port very expensive for bulk grain importers as well as ship operators/owners.
