| dc.description.abstract | According to the World Bank’s report, Kenya is ranked 122nd out of 155 countries in trade logistics efficiency. The index measures countries’ trade logistics efficiency. Our country Kenya performs better than the averages of Sub-Saharan African countries in areas of timeliness and international shipments. Trade facilitation plays a critical role in international trade because it is about expediting the clearance, release and movement of goods including those in transit. There is need for technical assistance and capacity building in trade facilitation is crucial. The Port of Mombasa at Kilindini facilitate trade for over four neighboring countries of Kenya. Physical inspection of containers is not feasible and that is why technologies such as cargo scanning are welcome. Thus the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Scanner Unit on revenue generation at the Port of Mombasa and specific objectives to determine how operations of the Scanning Unit at the port leads to a significant collection of extra revenue, the effects of scan unit system integration on revenue generation at the port of Mombasa, to establish the relationship between employee professionalism of the scan unit and revenue generation at the port of Mombasa and to ascertain the link between port infrastructure on scan unit and revenue generation at the port of Mombasa. Quantitative methods were employed in collecting and analyzing the data. Both Primary and secondary sources of data would be used in collection of data. To ensure that the research questionnaire was reliable, a pilot study was undertaken. Content validity of the questionnaire was ensured by consulting the university supervisor. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to test for reliability of the research questionnaire. Self-administered semi-structured questionnaires were used for collection of data. Descriptive statistics was employed in data analysis. Descriptive statistical tools included frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations. Tables were used for presentation of study findings. | en_US |
