We handle both import & export by sea through Mombasa and Inland container depot in Nairobi (ICDE). We have well trained staff who have wide knowledge about ocean freight. We have established good relationships with major carriers that operate from/to Kenya and this makes us have access to most privileges like competitive rates, free days, space booking during peak seasons & critical times, extra attention, last minute booking and import container deposit waiver for imports.
We offer road transport both locally and cross border. All trucks we use have tracking devices that enable us trace the consignments at any time due to security reasons.

We handle several commodities by air, among them are:-
Fresh Flowers, Vegetables & Fruits – Our company handles fresh flowers and vegetables. We have cold stores where such cargo are screened and loaded on airline equipment (Unit Load Devices – ULD) like pallets and containers. Our staff are well conversant with loading of horticultural produce on such equipment as per booking as well as documentation requirement both locally and destinations. To secure a booking during high seasons we sign contracts with most carriers based on projections received from exporters.
Fresh Meat & Hides – Just like fresh horticultural produce, Firstlane Logistics handles fresh meat and hides by air.
Firstlane Logistics was founded in the year 2008 as a simple transport company offering transport services within Kenya. Due to demand from clients from our neighboring countries (Uganda, Rwanda and Southern Sudan) we extended our services cross border. During this time, Firstlane Logistics was known as one of the best trucking provider in East Africa as all these countries use Mombasa port and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as their entry/exit points.
