The South Sudan government has called for a review of cargo handling charges and container deposits to lower the cost of doing business, with recommendations to set up empty container depots along the Northern Corridor.

The South Sudanese government wants a review of the current charge of $5,000 (Sh647,700) per container destined for its territory from the Mombasa port, saying that the fee is steep and harms business.
