- Project analysis & planning based on client's requirements & infrastructure;
- Customs approval for partial importation of shipment;
- Import customs clearance & documentation;
- Transport of cargo by road from Mombasa Port to the site in Athi River, Nairobi;

Country Sales & Marketing Manager at Sovereign Logistics, Florence Tuei comments; "As a project team, we undertook detailed preparation and planning for this delicate move, adopting global recommended standards for the transport of cement mill parts. The machinery was packed in steel frames to safely and firmly secure the equipment for transport. A total of 20 trucks were utilised for the move - a combination of low-loaders and standard trucks. The parts are for a 145mtn/hour OPC cement grinding plant."
"We look forward to working with fellow PCN members for any projects in East Africa!"
