The Shippers Council of Eastern Africa (SCEA) wants the Kenya Railways and Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) to be responsible for the delays being experienced in transferring containers to the Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Nairobi.

The council said shippers have incurred millions of shillings in demurrage charges as a result of delays to transport empty containers back to Mombasa, adding that the matter should be resolved to cushion importers from further losses.
