The amount of cargo moved through the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) has been on the increase since it started operations in January 2018.
The new railway now moves about a fifth of all cargo imported through the Port of Mombasa to Nairobi and Naivasha, according the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). In some instances, such as containerised cargo, the SGR is moving up to 30 per cent of containers to the hinterland.
