Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) is finalising plans for the lease of two parcels of land near the Nairobi Inland Container Depot (ICD) to be used as truck marshaling yards ahead of a planned rollout of an appointment booking system for container collection.

ICD Principal Operations Officer Nicholas Tendwa said the lease would ease congestion and eliminate idle trucks waiting to collect cargo at the ICD. The land is set to accommodate 200 trucks at a time.
