5,200 boxes off one ship: Kenya's new Lamu port finds its stride

Kenya's deep-water port at Lamu has handled its biggest-ever single ship, unloading about 5,200 containers from the 366-metre Hamouna for onward travel on smaller vessels. It is the first time any Kenyan port has taken so many containers from one vessel — an early sign that Lamu can serve as a regional hub, spreading trade and work along the coast beyond Mombasa.
