By CORRESPONDENT, NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 29 – The Mombasa – Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) shipped 197,000 Twenty Foot Equivalent containers in the first half of 2019 marking a 155.8 percent growth in cargo freight, compared to 77,020 containers shipped over a similar period in 2018.
The operator attributed the growth to an aggressive marketing strategy targeting importers and exporters in Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to use the Mombasa – Nairobi SGR freight services as their preferred logistics partner.
