Our freight and logistics services cover consolidation, ocean, air, road and rail, customs and warehousing, while our terminal and depot services cover the yard, handling, release, tank containers, bonded storage and transhipment.

We provide direct LCL (less than container load) consolidation and deconsolidation of ocean, air and road freight, so smaller shipments can travel together and be separated again at destination.

Containers, bulk cargo, project cargo, break bulk, out-of-gauge loads, loose cargo and dangerous cargo, in 20ft and 40ft units as well as out-of-gauge and loose consignments.

A container depot in Mombasa where discipline meets scale: a controlled entrance, a wide paved yard, powered reefer points and modern handling equipment under one management. Visit the depot page to see it.

Dry, refrigerated and tank containers, including full, empty and specialist units. Tell us your unit type and we will confirm the best handling plan.

Yes. The terminal has reefer plug points for temperature-controlled units, so cold cargo stays powered while it is in our custody.

The depot has guarded gate control, a fenced and floodlit perimeter, and authorised release only. Equipment is run by trained operators, with marked lanes and kerbs and separate pedestrian and vehicle routes.

We have reach stackers on site for heavy-lift handling. The yard is wide, level and paved, with separate zones for full, empty and specialist units, and stack heights planned for stability.

With careful custody. Each unit is placed, tracked and released by trained operators, with stack heights planned for stability and clear marking and yard location records.

Six steps: pre-advice (you tell us what is coming and when), gate-in (documents and unit condition checked), placement (unit lifted into its planned position), custody (secure storage, reefer power, regular checks), release (authorised pick-up, loaded onto the truck) and gate-out (exit check and confirmation to you).

Transparency is our first promise. You get unit status from arrival to departure, condition notes at gate-in and gate-out, and proactive communication on delays.

Send us the unit details and truck information. We check documents and release only to authorised parties.

Yes. Contact us to arrange a visit to the terminal and head office. Call ahead and we will arrange it.
