The Port of Lamu on Saturday recorded another milestone after receiving MV Hamouna, a 366-metre container vessel, underscoring the port’s deep-water capability and its growing role as a transshipment and regional trade hub along the LAPSSET Corridor.
The vessel arrived carrying about 14,500 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), of which about 5,200 are scheduled for discharge at Lamu. The containers will later be transshipped to other destinations by smaller feeder vessels.
MV Hamouna navigated about 14 nautical miles through the Eastern Channel before berthing safely.
