lungalunga Likoni rd, cut off by rains
I’m just from skyscrapercity Kenya. SGR is now doing 14 daily freight service trains carrying 1500 TEU’s a day. That was the conservative target in 1 year realized in 10 months. Now the optimistic target of 2200 TEU’s daily by 31st Dec is very possible. The double stacked train service is under trial run. Once it goes into service the numbers will rise rapidly. The 15th freight service is entirely for general cargo. KPA numbers show 80% of port users now pick Nairobi ICD to clear their goods. So all that noise of CFS was cartels fighting back, traders have embraced change. The biggest port users have now signed up corporate accounts with SGR. Grain bulk Mombasa is asking KR if it can spend 100-200 million of its own money to extend SGR track to its facility to load grain directly to the train wagons. Other cement companies want to do a joint project as well. Why? SGR is cheaper, faster, efficient and reliable. What we have always been saying.
wueh! the place looks like Ramisi
Spot on!
Saa tisa to saa kumi leo.
Wanaojua huko wanasema when the deluge is this serious, it takes more than a day for the water to subside!
It’s however extremely congested.
would they be innovative enough to transport imported cars to nairobi!
Record 6000 TEUs not collected in the last 120 days. 90 days ago KPA gave them a waiver of storage fees but they haven’t come to collect them. They are now being moved to KR yard which is now designated a customs yards. In 150 days they can be opened for inspection, cargo removed so that containers can be sent back to shipping lines and who know what will be found. Either way the next KRA auction will be massive. The congestion is easing in the last 10 days as they overstayed cargo is moved.
We just need this train wagons and we are good to go.
