A Laden cargo ship stalled at the Gateway of the Mombasa Port preventing more ships passage during the peak hours of the day.
MV Tassos, which had just departed from the nearby Base Titanium port facility loaded with minerals, stalled midway across the Port of Mombasa in the Indian Ocean.
A witness said there was a loud bang before the vessel come to an abrupt stop. "I heard a loud bang before I saw the ship stop moving,"
Usually, ferry movement is stopped for some time to allow ships to either enter of leave the port of Mombasa, as the channel is their only path to the port. There was no commotion as some of the people opted to use the The Liwatoni walking bridge
