The Kenya Railways Transit Shed is a temporary storage facility approved by the Kenya Revenue Authority as customs facility for cargo deconsolidation by Small and Medium enterprises. Located within Nairobi CBD, the Transit Shed, officially inaugurated by His Excellency, the President of Kenya on 10th November 2020, has a capacity to handle up to 1,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEUS).
The launch of operations at the transit shed has decongested the Nairobi Inland Container Depot, while providing services closer to the small-scale traders. In collaboration with approved freight consolidators, small and medium enterprises (or SMEs) enjoy minimized shipping costs, faster transit time and decreased wait time.
