Investors from the UAE’s Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Gulftainer Co. Ltd. proposed building an inland port at Bukasa, Uganda, to improve cargo handling and lower regional trade costs. The port will provide storage, customs clearance, and consolidation services, easing congestion along the Northern Corridor and facilitating trade with Kenya, Sudan, and other markets. President Yoweri Museveni welcomed the initiative, pledged government support, and urged investors to finalize the first phase within six months.
