Africa's northern corridor shippers to enjoy better visibility

Shippers using the northern corridor from the port of Mombasa to the Kenya/Uganda Malaba border now have an additional reason to smile with the launch of the Regional Electronic Cargo Tracking System (RECTS). RECTS is a harmonised cargo tracking system that connects Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda by monitoring cargo movement for both the Kenya and transit markets transported within the regions. The RECTS system was launched on 1 March by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) following a July 2014 directive by the Northern Corridor Head of State Summit held in Kigali.
