As a result of the recurring berthing congestions in Mombasa, vessels have to wait for average seven (7) to nine (9) days in the harbor before getting a berth.
Hence, container carriers servicing this region are incurring extra high costs due to these delays.

For the need of recovering extra costs, starting with shipments from Indian Sub-continent and Middle East,
we will implement a Mombasa Congestion Surcharge for all containers going southbound for Mombasa discharge.
Details are as follows:

Scope: All Southbound containers ex Indian Sub-Continent and Middle East for Mombasa discharge

Quantum: USD150/teu Validity: from 1st July 2010 until further notice

Terms: payable by freight payers
