The Port of Lamu has achieved a significant milestone by successfully handling approximately 5,200 TEUs from the massive Iranian-flagged container vessel, MV Hamouna. This event marks a new record for the port, surpassing even Mombasa Port's previous discharge figures.

• 5,200 TEUs discharged, the highest ever for the port.
• Involved the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and the vessel MV Hamouna.
• The deep-water harbour and modern infrastructure, with berths approximately 17.5 metres deep, enable Lamu to accommodate such large vessels.
