On site
01 / 08
The container storage area is segregated from the motor vehicle yard, with handling capacity of 5,000 TEUs. Keeping the two apart means handling equipment, truck movements and storage are organised by cargo type rather than competing for the same ground.
The yard also carries project and out-of-gauge consignments that cannot be stacked — fabricated steel, plant and oversized equipment staged in the open while route and permits are arranged.
02 / 08
A dedicated car terminal with capacity to handle 3,000 units, run by a team assigned specifically to vehicle operations. Vehicles are received over their own secured ramp rather than through the container gate.
The ramp carries its own entry and exit gates, which keeps vehicle loading and offloading clear of container traffic and prevents congestion building at the main gate.
03 / 08
Covered warehousing handles deconsolidation and storage. Containers are stripped and cargo transferred to the Less Container Load area, with a warehouse management system maintaining inventory throughout.
Hazardous cargo is stored separately and in accordance with HAZMAT compatibility requirements — a storage rule that governs what may be held next to what, not simply how it is labelled.
04 / 08
Refrigerated containers are handled to maintain the integrity of temperature-sensitive cargo across the time it spends in the station, with documentation prioritised so clearance does not become the constraint on release.
05 / 08
Focus CFS is a one-stop clearance hub. The relevant government agencies — the Kenya Revenue Authority, the Kenya Bureau of Standards and the Kenya Police — are located within the facility, so verification happens where the cargo already is.
For an importer this removes an entire movement from the clearance sequence. Cargo does not travel to be inspected and travel back; it is examined on the ground it is standing on.
06 / 08
The entire facility is enclosed by a perimeter wall carrying electric fencing. Entry and exit gates are manned, with security personnel vetting every person who enters, and camera surveillance covers the movement of containers and vehicles within the station.
A separated pedestrian walkway routes people entering the yard away from handling equipment and truck movements — a safety measure and an access-control measure at the same time.
07 / 08
Container and heavy cargo handling is carried out with reach stackers suited to full container loads as well as project and out-of-gauge consignments.
08 / 08
Entry and exit gates carry the yard supervisor and security offices, positioned so that arriving trucks are dealt with at the point of entry. A modern office facility on site handles documentation and customer business.
