Shippers in Lamu are calling for the dredging of two key channels to allow smooth movements of boats and dhows during all seasons.

The shippers, mostly those using heavy vessels, want the 500-metre long Lamu Town to Manda Island and the over one kilometre Mkanda to Kililana channels dredged afresh, to deepen and widen them to accommodate bigger vessels.
