OPERATIONS
We currently operate a peak hour’s service for passengers only at Mtongwe channel linking Mombasa Island adjacent to Bandari College and Mtongwe South Mainland.

Major improvements to controls and safety have been put in place after the 1994 Mtongwe accident. They include:-
i. Improved landing facilities i.e. jetties and pontoons.
ii. Construction of passenger waiting bays complete with loading control measures such as turnstiles for counting purposes.
iii. Full time presence of Port Police Officers and Private Guards to ensure controls are adhered to.
iv. Operation of a lager capacity and flat-bottomed ferry, that guarantees stability.
