Magazines Mombasa woos investors to offer water transport servicesThe county government blamed the heavy traffic problem on trucks heading to the port for goods. At the same time, water transport in the region leaves much to be desired. The county government is therefore calling for private investors to put money in water transport infrastructure, such as private ferries and passenger boats. He also called for investors to introduce sea transport services to connect Mombasa with Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River and Lamu counties. Kenya Ferry Services has long proposed sea transport services to connect Mombasa to its neighbouring counties although these ideas have amounted to little.
