Cargo desk
Cargo does not always leave the port on the day it lands. Bagged fertilizer waiting for the planting season, project pieces waiting for the site, vehicles waiting for buyers and general cargo waiting for the receiver's trucks all need covered storage near the port, with handling and inventory that a trader can rely on. Maingate Shipping arranges warehousing at Mombasa for cargo discharged from the vessels it attends and for importers who need storage.
The desk quotes storage, handling in and out, and delivery on call, and reports inventory to the owner of the goods.
Covered warehousing near the port for bagged commodities, cartons and general cargo, open yard for project pieces, containers and vehicles, and bonded storage where the cargo has not yet been cleared.
Receipt against the delivery order, stacking and marking, inventory reports to the owner, and picking and loading for delivery in the lots the owner calls off.
Trucks booked for each call-off, delivery to receivers in Mombasa, Nairobi and the corridor, and the file reconciled when the last lot leaves.
