Based in the heart of East Africa’s trade hub, Trophy Shipping Services is your premier partner for reliable, end-to-end logistics. Strategically located near Mombasa Port—the primary gateway to East and Central Africa—we provide a competitive advantage for businesses looking to scale.
Ocean freight remains the most cost-efficient method for bulk shipments, and we make it seamless. Whether you are importing raw materials or exporting finished goods, our proximity to the port ensures faster processing and reduced transit complexities.
Once you have goods ready at a supplier (anywhere in the world), we book space on a shipping vessel. Your cargo is packed into containers—either FCL (Full Container Load) if you have a lot of goods, or LCL (Less than Container Load) if you’re sharing space with others to save money.
Before the ship leaves, the goods must clear customs in the country of origin. We handle the paperwork to ensure the cargo meets all international shipping regulations.
The container is loaded onto a massive cargo ship. This is the “cost-efficient” part: because these ships carry thousands of containers at once, the cost per item is incredibly low compared to air freight.
As your shipment nears Kenya, we prepare for its arrival at Mombasa Port. Being strategically located nearby allows us to monitor the ship’s berthing and coordinate immediate offloading.
This is where local expertise is vital. We manage the KRA (Kenya Revenue Authority) documentation, pay the necessary duties, and clear the cargo through the port authorities to avoid expensive storage fees (demurrage).
Once cleared, the container is loaded onto a truck. We track it until it reaches your warehouse or office in Nairobi, Mombasa, or across the East African border.
