The aim of the port will be to improve ferry and cargo transport between the Rwandan ports. It is also expected to boost trade in Rwanda & Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Lake Kivu already has a good attraction when it comes to tourism which is a plus to the area. The project will surely improve trade, maritime transport and tourism around the lake.
