In the ever-evolving logistics industry, rail transport is playing an increasingly vital role in ensuring the swift and efficient movement of goods. As global supply chains grow more complex, companies are looking for sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable ways to transport cargo across countries and continents. At Delta Cargo Connections, we are proud to offer specialized Rail Transport Services that cater to the dynamic needs of businesses both domestically and internationally.

A significant part of our rail service is the utilization of Kenya’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR)—a modern and transformative transport infrastructure that connects key economic hubs across the region. Let’s explore how our rail transport services, including the use of SGR, provide unmatched logistics solutions.

Why Choose Rail Transport?

Rail transport offers several advantages for businesses looking to move large volumes of goods over long distances. Here’s why it stands out:

• Cost Efficiency: Rail transport, especially over long distances, is often more cost-effective than road or air freight. With lower fuel consumption per ton of cargo, it reduces operational costs, allowing for savings that can be passed on to our clients.

• Eco-Friendly: Rail is one of the most environmentally friendly modes of transport, producing fewer carbon emissions compared to road or air transport. At Delta Cargo Connections, we are committed to sustainable logistics, and rail transport is an integral part of this approach.

• Capacity: Rail transport can handle large volumes of cargo, from heavy industrial materials to consumer goods. Our services are designed to manage high-capacity shipments with ease, offering reliable transport for bulk goods across the region.

The Role of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR)

One of the key highlights of our rail transport services is our integration with Kenya’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). Launched as a major infrastructure development, the SGR connects Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, with the port city of Mombasa, and plays a pivotal role in East Africa’s logistics landscape.

Here’s how our SGR services benefit our clients:

• Seamless Connectivity: SGR offers fast and efficient transport from Mombasa, one of Africa’s busiest ports, to Nairobi, and beyond. Whether you’re importing or exporting goods, the SGR allows for faster movement of cargo to inland destinations without the delays that often come with road transport.

• Reliability: With fixed schedules and dedicated cargo services, SGR ensures timely and reliable deliveries. This reduces the risks of delays caused by traffic congestion or road conditions, ensuring your goods arrive at their destination on time.

• Integrated Services: At Delta Cargo Connections, we provide door-to-door services by seamlessly integrating SGR with our road transport solutions. Once your goods arrive at key terminals like the Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Nairobi, our team coordinates onward delivery to their final destination. This integration ensures smooth operations from the port, through rail, to the end-point.
