Cargo desk
The Northern Corridor from Mombasa to Nairobi, Kampala, Kigali, Bujumbura and Juba is the road on which East Africa's imports travel, and the road on which a receiver's cargo either arrives on time or sits at a border. Maingate Shipping arranges corridor transport for cargo discharged from the vessels it attends and for importers who need trucks from the port.
Trucks are booked to the discharge plan so that cargo leaves the quay as it lands, and the standard gauge railway to the Nairobi and Naivasha depots is used where it saves time and money.
Container haulage to the inland depots and to receivers' yards, bulk cargo in tipping trucks from the berth to the receiver's silo or store, bagged cargo on flatbeds, and the truck flow matched to the vessel's discharge rate so that neither waits.
Abnormal loads on low-loaders with permits and escorts, route surveys for the largest pieces, and vehicle transport by car carrier or driven convoy for units bound inland.
Transit documents prepared before the truck leaves the port, border procedures at Malaba, Busia, Gatuna and Nimule handled with the corridor's clearing partners, and tracking with proof of delivery for every consignment.
Maingate Shipping Limited is a ship agency, crew management and ship brokerage company based at Express Building on Moi Avenue in Mombasa, Kenya, serving vessels at Kenyan ports since 2020 and coordinating port calls across Africa through its agency line. The company attends bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, car carriers, cruise ships, fishing, offshore and naval vessels at Mombasa and Lamu, places Kenyan seafarers with owners worldwide, and fixes dry bulk, tanker and project tonnage for East African cargoes.
