dc.description.abstractSince the advent of shipping and maritime trade, it has been an instance of fascination to find the most viable alternative transportation for providing overall effectiveness to the concerned trade. Numerous influential factors and research methods or techniques were identified and developed by researchers throughout world for the process of choosing suitable ports and their benefits and bad marks. Worldwide ocean payload is a US$46 billion yearly business and is relied upon to dramatically multiply by 2021. Trans-shipment includes the shipment of merchandise or compartments to a moderate goal before being conveyed to the last goal. Further it permits the difference in the methods for transport amid the voyage, for example, from ship to street transport or to another vessel. It also permits consolidation and deconsolidation of shipments. This study therefore, was set to establish the factors affecting customs clearance of transshipment cargo at port of Mombasa. Explicitly the study examined the effect of infrastructure, institutional costs and transshipment procedures of customs clearance at customs department of KRA at the port of Mombasa. The study was moored on institutional theory, resource based view theory and systems theory. The study adopted descriptive research design focusing on 120 respondents drawn from customs department operating in the port of Mombasa, KPA staff and a few shipping lines. This study employed stratified random sampling technique to choose the respondents from the objectified population. The sample size of this study was 60 respondents. Closed ended structured questionnaires were used to collect essential primary data. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 25) was the data analysis tool, using inferential and descriptive statistics. Findings were exhibited in form of frequency tables. In relation to inferential statistics, the study also used Pearson correlation analysis to establish the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables. The study established that handling costs for transshipment cargo is high. The study concludes that the cost of handling transshipment cargo is high. The study concludes that the high shipping costs has caused transshipment cargo through the port of Mombasa to decline. Further, the study concludes that transshipment cargo clearance costs are high compared to returns and customs clearance of transshipment cargo is cost efficient. The study recommends that the customs management should ensure that the technologies available are effective in clearing transshipment cargo. Also the study recommends that the decision making should be delegated so as to remove unnecessary bureaucracies which cause unnecessary delays in transhipment clearance.en_US
