he Port of Mombasa is the main gateway for cargoes in transit to and from a vast hinterland that embraces Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, northern Tanzania, South Sudan and southern Ethiopia. Mombasa is connected with the wider region by way of the Northern Corridor rail and road network.
Transit cargo owners can now be sure of a personalised, real-time and immediate response to queries and requests in relation to cargo services within their home country without the need to travel all the way to Mombasa – thus greatly reducing the time and cost of doing business.
