The Lamu Port project in Kenya aims to build a new port with 30 berths and deep water handling. It will include new rail lines connecting to South Sudan and Ethiopia, as well as an oil pipeline and roads. The port is expected to generate hundreds of thousands of new jobs and transform the economy of northern Kenya. However, some have raised concerns about the port's potential impacts on a UNESCO World Heritage site and local fishing communities. Questions also remain about how the proximity of Somalia and a large refugee camp could impact security at the new port.
