Cross border traders can now engage in export and import trade with ease particularly during the hard times of the #COVID19 pandemic, thanks to the #Rwanda trade portal https://t.co/1jJhQbfj9n
@MsaPortCharter commits to trucks taking the shortest time between Msa Port & Malaba/Busia Border. Our truckers report that current bottlenecks are slow arming @KRA_Customs at the Port due to shortage of ECTS devices & traffic jams at weighbridges @KeNHAKenya . Together we CAN.
Trucking Hack 2. 'When buying a used truck locally, check through @KeNHAKenya that it has no weighbridge violations/tags. If you purchase such a truck, it will be detained and you will be required to pay the fines for the previous violations by the previous owner'. @KTA_Kenya

The RECDTS provides a surveillance system to monitor long distance truckers crew health & enable contact tracing. It allows partner states to electronically share truck drivers’ COVID-19 test results; therefore, minimizing the need for multiple COVID-19 tests in a single trip.

MD Dakawou, a transporter of @Vivo_Kenya presenting on key issues causing HGV accidents on our roads. Driver error. Vehicle malfunction. Poor road infrastructure. Dakawou boasts one of the highest safety ratings for HGV transporters in the continent. #SafetyLeadership@EAOTA2

Remove ECTS requirement for Kenyan exports to region. This development has reduced stock of trucks available for regional exports and has increased transport cost to cover for the installation & subscription for these gadgets. https://t.co/1U7O8tWIti
Road safety is key. As at June 2019, 336,272 HCVs registered on the Transport Integrated Management System (TIMS) out of 3,884,367 vehicles. 690 out of 2579 deaths on our roads have been caused by HCVs. Let's move #towardszerodeaths

One Stop Border Posts mean all key border authorities (ie customs and immigration) from both countries are housed under one roof with coordinated processing. This equals to quick border clearance. Less border delays = Lower transport costs.
@FerryKenya Truck drivers have a concern on the slipperiness of the road surface of the ramp at the ferry esp. when it rains...This is particularly dangerous for trucks. Please receive this as information to help improve safety at the ferry. @ntsa_kenya@MombasaCountyKe
Faster truck turnaround time means a transporter is able to complete the delivery faster & move to the next = more containers leaving the port =no congestion. Kudos on the improvement at ICD from avrg 8 hrs @Kenya_Ports@KRACare & of course to the transporters.
