A Mombasa court has stopped the Kenya Ferry Services (KFS) from re-advertising supervision and inspection services for two new vessels that were set to operate at the Likoni channel over safety issues raised.

High Court judge Eric Ogola's orders, issued on Wednesday, effectively stop the government body from carrying out any further evaluation of the new ferries until the matter is heard and determined.
