From our origins in Nairobi to our deepwater berths in Kilindini and airport terminal at JKIA, Tulip Shipping Ltd is trusted by industrial leaders, exporters, and merchants.
Tulip Shipping Ltd was incorporated with a mission to solve one of Africa's most persistent trade bottlenecks: slow cargo dwell times between the Indian Ocean coast and inland commercial capitals.
By integrating marine berth operations at Kilindini Harbour directly with Kenya Railways Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) freight trains and our 55,000 sq ft bonded hub opposite Nairobi ICD Embakasi, we reduced cargo dwell times from an industry average of 9 days down to under 36 hours.
