The Lamu–Ijara–Garissa road is part of the Lamu Port–South Sudan–Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) project.
The Lamu Port is a key component of Lapsset, a multi-billion-shillings regional infrastructure project.
The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has reported strong performance at Lamu Port in 2025, having handled 34 container vessels by June—surpassing the total annual vessel count recorded the previous year.
Speaking on Saturday during the reception of two transshipment vessels, MV Devon and MV Zhong Gu Ri Zhao, Lamu Port General Manager Vincent Sidai said the growth underscores the port’s emerging role as a regional logistics hub.
