Waiver Sensitization Meeting

Shippers using the Port of Mombasa continue to grapple with high storage costs — over Ksh. 6 billion paid to KPA in the past year alone, with ICD Nairobi accounting for Ksh. 1 billion of that!

💰 These costs are largely driven by operational delays, system downtimes, cargo railage issues, and tariff disputes.

To address this, SCEA, in collaboration with KIFWA and KAM, is hosting a Waiver Sensitization Meeting where KPA is offering vital guidance on:
✅ Waiver application procedures
✅ Eligibility requirements
✅ Lead times and thresholds

📌 This session is especially important for cargo owners, as KPA only accepts waiver applications directly from them.

Our CEO, Mr. Agayo Ogambi in his remarks during the meeting reemphasized the essence of this meeting — to empower cargo owners with a deeper understanding of the process and reduce dependency on waivers by driving operational efficiency.
