Our freight forwarding division provides end-to-end logistics management — ensuring that cargo moves efficiently from point of origin to final destination, whether by sea, air, or road. Based in Mombasa, the heart of East Africa’s maritime trade, Issa Clearing & Forwarding connects Kenyan traders to global markets with reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Sea Freight
We handle both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments through the Port of Mombasa. Our established relationships with major shipping lines enable us to secure favorable rates and reliable schedules for both imports and exports. We manage vessel tracking, bill of lading release, terminal handling charges, and container demurrage monitoring — ensuring clients avoid unnecessary costs.
Air Freight
For urgent or high-value cargo, our air freight services through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Moi International Airport (MIA) ensure fast customs clearance, safe handling, and on-time delivery. We coordinate directly with airlines, customs officers, and ground handling agents to maintain full visibility throughout the process.
Inland & Cross-Border Freight
We provide overland freight services from Mombasa and Nairobi to Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, and DRC under the East African Community (EAC) Transit Regime. All transit cargo is sealed and monitored using the Regional Electronic Cargo Tracking System (RECTS) in compliance with KRA regulations.
Freight Consolidation
For SMEs importing smaller quantities, Issa Clearing & Forwarding offers freight consolidation services, grouping multiple consignments into a single container to minimize costs. We handle deconsolidation and customs clearance at arrival to simplify logistics for small businesses.
Our freight forwarding team manages every logistical detail — from booking space and preparing shipping documents to monitoring vessel arrival, coordinating customs clearance, and ensuring final delivery.
With Issa, clients enjoy a seamless, door-to-door freight forwarding experience backed by professionalism, transparency, and strict compliance with Kenyan trade laws.
