NexGen Shipping provides cargo handling services at Mombasa Port and bonded warehousing for imports and transit cargo across East Africa. From port discharge and container devanning through to cargo inspection, storage, and dispatch — our handling team ensures your cargo is managed safely, accurately, and without unnecessary port congestion costs.
Port Cargo Handling and Stevedoring
Our cargo handling operations at Mombasa Port include stevedoring (discharge and loading), container inspection, tallying, and cargo receipt documentation. We coordinate directly with KPA and terminal operators to minimise container dwell time — one of the highest avoidable costs in East African logistics — and ensure your cargo moves from vessel discharge to truck or warehouse on schedule.
Bonded Warehousing in Mombasa
NexGen's bonded warehousing facility allows importers to store goods under customs bond — deferring duty payment until the goods are ready for release. This is particularly valuable for large-volume importers, transit cargo bound for Uganda, Rwanda, or Tanzania, and importers managing phased distribution across East Africa. Our warehouse is insured, CCTV-monitored, and managed by trained cargo supervisors.
Container Devanning and Cargo Distribution
After customs clearance, NexGen's team handles container devanning (stripping), cargo checking against packing lists, and dispatch to final destinations. We coordinate with our inland transport team for seamless last-mile delivery to Nairobi, Kampala, Kigali, or other inland destinations — no additional coordination required from you.
Whether you need port-side cargo handling, bonded storage, or full container devanning and distribution, NexGen's operations team at Mombasa Port is ready to manage your cargo safely and efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bonded warehousing and who benefits from it?
A bonded warehouse is a KRA-licensed facility where imported goods can be stored without immediate payment of import duties and taxes. Duties are paid when goods are removed from the warehouse for local sale or distribution. This is beneficial for importers managing cash flow, distributing across multiple markets, or handling transit cargo for Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
Do you provide cargo handling for break-bulk and non-containerised cargo?
Yes. NexGen handles both containerised and non-containerised cargo, including break-bulk, project cargo, and RoRo vehicles. Our team is experienced in managing oversized and non-standard cargo through Mombasa Port — contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
