OCEFREM commission on oil & petroleum products

18 Jun 2021 / Mombasa, Kenya

We have been computing the OGEFREM Commission of 1.8% of gross freight charges on an DRC imports through the Port of Mombasa on only containerized traffic contrary to the OGEFREM Notice no 5625 of 30 August 2002,which applies to all DPC [Democratic Republic of Congo] cargo including those in liquid (oil and petroleum products) and bulk form.

In the agreement review process that culminated into its recent renewal, witnessed by the two heads of state, the above anomaly was pointed out for the Authority's remedial action and update to the DRC Government.

From 1 July 2021, you will be required to submit to KMA, all freighted manifests including for oil and petroleum bulk cargo destined for the DRC.

We will thereafter compute the right invoice for your settlement of the OGFREM Commission.
