Single Window System is basically a trade facilitation tool that enables parties involved in international trade to submit regulatory import and export related documentation to lodge their documents through a Single platform hence the name Single Window System. Kenya TradeNet System is a trade mark name for the Single Window System in Kenya.

Kenya Ports Authority has poured cold water on the cries by Container Freight Stations (CFSs) over being thrown out of business in the wake of increased uptake of cargo by rail.
According to the port management, the CFSs were needed for a short term-basis to supplement the port which lacked capacity about ten years ago.
Annual cargo handling capacity has however increased from 250,000 TEU in 2008 to the current above 1.30 million TEU’s in 2018, supported by the second container terminal whose Sh30 billion phase one is operational with a capacity of 550,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit(TEUs).
