SGR moves regional cargo to Naivasha as Kenya revs up service
In Summary
- All cargo destined for neighbouring countries will now be loaded onto the standard gauge railway (SGR) and moved directly from Mombasa to the Naivasha inland container depot (ICD), where transporters will pick it for onward delivery.

- Uganda cargo commands more than 80 per cent of the regional transit traffic through Mombasa port.
