The Kenya Ferry Service (KFS) has unveiled a plan to expand its operations to more water bodies. The management said the five-year strategic plan was aimed at diversifying its services to ensure it remained competitive in the transport sector amid increased competition.

KFS’s main source of income is the Likoni crossing channel but the ongoing construction of Dongo Kundu bypass linking Mombasa to Kwale is a threat.
