The Kenya Elections are scheduled for Tuesday 9th August 2022 which will also be a public holiday to allow citizens to exercise their civic right.

As your integrated logistics partner, we have designed steps to support you and your business maintain continuity throughout this period but most importantly, remain at hand to offer any additional tools and relevant information that will give you the ability to manage your supply chain.

We have seen in the recent past supply chain disruptions can sometimes be difficult to expect, and we will work collaboratively with the necessary internal and external stakeholders to minimize the impact of any arising events to your business.

Our ocean teams assure you that our vessels will continue to call the Port of Mombasa as scheduled, and in collaboration with the Kenya Ports Authority, the collection and delivery of cargo will be uninterrupted. We urge those customers who have deliveries expected in August, to make early submissions of their original bill of lading with us to facilitate advance issue of delivery orders.

Our teams servicing customers along inland supply chains have explored alternative solutions to reinforce our robust contingency plans that cargo will continue moving. While we do not anticipate any delays in the scheduled tasks, we request that you contact us with any specific concerns that you many have on the flow of cargo.

In addition to the above, we would also like to notify you of our Flex Hub product, that enables you to store your goods closer to key markets until the time is right for you to deliver the order from eight enabled transit hubs. Click below downloadable PDF for more information.

Giving you the ability to manage your supply chain is of utmost importance to us and our communications channels remain open. Please do not hesitate to contact our Maersk Customer Experience teams should you require further clarification.
