South Sudan Transporters
The demand for road freight transport has grown significantly
since independence. The result is that a large number of local and
foreign owned transport providers have entered the market with a
variety of capacities and services to offer. This sector is
characterised by small to medium sized vehicle fleets and vehicles
of differing capacities and maintenance levels. Larger transport
providers are able to offer full transport services and operate
into neighbouring countries.
In general, road freight transport companies range from small to
medium sized operations with access to additional fleet capacity
through owner-operator vehicles. Most operators are able to operate
throughout the country however in some instances such as during the
rainy season or in areas posing a potential security risk
transporter can refuse to travel or increase transport costs.
The road freight transport sector is able to meet the current
demand of the humanitarian community and foreign operators are
allowed to operate domestically on condition that companies are
registered. As with other business sectors, the government is
actively encouraging local development and ownership and in some
instances requires local shareholders in foreign owned
companies.
