This article contains a list of Container Freight Stations (CFS) in Mombasa. CFS are warehouses where cargo is consolidated or deconsolidated prior to exporting or importing.
Consolidation is the process of combining shipments into a single truck, whereas deconsolidation is the process of breaking down a shipment into several smaller packages.
A CFS also temporarily stores goods for import and export. Container Freight Stations are critical to decongesting the port of Mombasa, Kenya’s shipping gateway to the rest of the world.
Because of smaller and more specific consignments, rising e-commerce demand, and the overall growth of less-than-a-containerload (LCL) shipments, CFS Shipping (Container Freight Station) is seeing a significant increase in demand.
The CFS is usually owned by a shipping line or a terminal and is in charge of customs examination and clearance procedures for LCL (Less than Container Load)shipments.
You must transport your goods to the CFS, where your transloading company or shipping lines will pack them into a shipping container alongside other LCL shipments.
