Advocating for efficient and competitive logistics for cargo owners within Eastern Africa.
Dear Mr. Agayo.
As a leading logistics and solutions provider, General Cargo Services Ltd has greatly benefited from the support of the Shippers Council of Eastern Africa (SCEA) in addressing industry challenges. SCEA’s advocacy, particularly in the movement of cargo from port of Mombasa , has led to improved coordination with key stakeholders like the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and Kenya Railways (KRC). This collaboration has significantly reduced transit times and enhanced service delivery, contributing to positive feedback from our customers.
SCEA’s efforts in resolving issues related to free days, storage, and detention charges have resulted in substantial cost savings for us. Furthermore, their continued pressure on KPA & other Government agencies to streamline procedures has significantly boosted operational efficiency.
In addition to advocacy, SCEA has provided valuable periodic training and updates on global market trends, equipping our company with insights to remain competitive. The supply of shipping statistics and industry information has also been instrumental in our strategic planning and decision-making processes.
Through these initiatives and others, SCEA has played a crucial role in the growth and enhancement of our business, enabling us to deliver more efficient and high-quality services to our clients. Asante.
