MOMBASA: Crisis persisted at the Likoni ferry crossing channel yesterday after two ferries developed problems, causing massive jam and panic among commuters.

Kenya Ferry Service (KFS) said the MV Harambee stalled on the ramp as a result of low tides while MV Nyayo was suddenly withdrawn when it developed mechanical problems.
