The Court of Appeal in Mombasa has awarded Sh5.1 million to a transporter whose truck sank into the Indian Ocean at the Likoni crossing channel.

The truck plunged into the ocean on March 16, 2005, at Likoni Ferry Mainland Ramp after the coxswain of MV Harambee moved it before the lorry was on board.
