FASTER CARGO CLEARANCE AT MOMBASA

Mombasa has been able to speed up cargo clearance through the establishment of a one-stop documentation centre, whilst at the same time eliminating security agents from the overall clearing process. The port has also abandoned its policy of checking all transit containers while the number of agencies handling and stamping port release documents has been reduced. It is now possible to clear cargo in less than four days although the eventual target remains one day.
