Many local firms in this sector have risen to the challenge and began to implement this technology to enhance their competitiveness. However, not much had been researched on this concept from a Kenyan perspective. The aim of this study therefore was to establish the factors influencing the adoption of ICT in the logistics and freight transport sector. The study was carried out in Mombasa and targeted employees of selected companies in the maritime sector. Descriptive research design was used to conduct the study. Proportionate stratified sampling was employed to select the sample from the population. Data was collected using questionnaires which were issued to various staff of freight companies. Data was analysed using SPSS and the findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable.
