Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has reduced its container handling charges to persuade disgruntled freighters to move their cargo through the standard gauge railway (SGR). The KPA said it had cut rates by up to 50 per cent for all containers weighing more than 100 kg, and that this would help boost revenue from freight traffic. The government said using the SGR is the only way to ensure a "smooth flow of cargo to Nairobi’s ICD"
Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has reduced its container handling charges to persuade disgruntled freighters to move their cargo through the standard gauge railway (SGR). KPA has cut tariffs for 20 and 40-foot local containers at the inland container depot (ICD) in Nairobi, as well as those moving goods to other countries. The government said using the SGR is the only way to ensure a "smooth flow of cargo to Nairobi’s ICD"
