CLEARING & FORWARDING AGENT USE OF KWATOS WEP-IP TO PREPARE & SUBMIT SSR
As part of current measures taken to improve service delivery and assist to curb the
spread of Covid19 as per the 20th July 2020 Government circular on ‘Compliance With
Workplace Guidelines on Covid19 Pandemic’, KWATOS has been enhanced to enable
our customers generate and submit selected Special Service Requests (SSRs)
through Web-IP instead of email requests, phone calls or walk-ins. The process will
result in minimal customer visits to ICD One-Stop-Center.
This service will only be available at ICD Nairobi w.e.f 1st August 2020.
In the first phase, the following category of SSRs will be processed:-
1. Cargo verification requests for import containers 2. Survey requests for import containers *Only upon KPA approval of the survey request
3. Alterations or cancellations/miscellaneous on Imports documents 4. Alterations or amendments on Exports (Full/Empty) documents 5. Overstay of Trucks at Depot
Upon submission of the SSR, One Stop Center office will validate request before
interface to Finance office for billing. Corresponding charges will be on the account of the Clearing & Forwarding Agent who lodged the SSR.

B. IMPORTANT POINTS FOR CUSTOMERS TO NOTE
1) Not to mix containers of different BLs/Pre-advice on one SSR.
2) Avoid creation and submitting SSR twice for same container and service that will lead to double billing and alteration charges as per KPA tariff
3) Customer must be keen when selecting the correct SSR code (e.g. code 20’ or 40’, Survey code vis-a-vis Verification code) etc before submitting, otherwise
wrong services may be billed
4) ‘Remarks’ on SSR must indicate a very brief description of service required.
Those for truck overstay must indicate truck registration number.
5) Other SSRs not listed above will be created internally upon email request or as deemed fit by KPA
6) Submission of SSRs for railed/delivered out exports/imports will NOT be possible. Contact via email our Mombasa Export office for change of vessel
SSR requests if export container already railed from ICD.
