East Africa Branch
The East Africa branch was registered as ICS Kenya on 31st of
May 2007. The branch was later granted mandate by The Institute
over 10 East African countries and renamed Institute of Chartered
Shipbrokers East Africa.
Prior to its registration, the branch was run by members of the
Executive Committee on a voluntary basis, but upon its
registration, a secretariat coordinator was hired on temporary
basis to run the day to day activities of the branch. However, the
secretariat coordinator relocated from Mombasa and the EC saw the
need to engage a member of staff to serve on full time basis.
Subsequently, a Programme Officer was employed and a branch
secretariat office set up.
The East Africa Branch primarily comprises Fellows, Members and
Retired Members working or living in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda,
Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Democratic Republic
of Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia and Djibouti but such is the
nature of the industry that many of its members are based
overseas.
In terms of the spread of disciplines represented in the branch,
having Kenya at its centre results in a pre-dominance of
port-related activities, such as agency, surveying broking and ship
operations although, legal, insurance and banking professionals are
still represented in membership.
