What 001 fears is the shifting of Container freight stations to other regions
Please 'educate' 'us'; truly yours included
001 owns CFS so with the train shipping stuff interior so fast, business is moving away
Yep.
Mombasa-based container freight stations (CFS) operators plan to move part of their operations to Nairobi as fast trains prepare to start hauling cargo in December.
Through their national trade lobby, the Container Freight Stations Association (CFSA), the customs-bonded storage facilities are looking for land within six-kilometres of the Nairobi Inland Container Depot (ICD).
The ICD is currently under expansion to hold 450,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) annually, up from the current 180,000 TEUs.

If my client is inland based ,what's the point of consigning his cargo to a CFS based in Mombasa ?
I will be able to monitor it closely.
This expansion is aimed at improving logistics in the region,no sober minded Kenyan should oppose it.
