Likoma Port

A year before President Chakwera assumed office, construction of a jetty at Likoma Island commenced albeit with slow progress. Among his first duties upon taking the reins of power was expedition of this particular project to solve persistent problems locals and visitors were facing to board and load cargo on large ships especially the MV Ilala.

The President quickly ordered that the jetty be upgraded to a normal port fitted with heavy duty cranes that are capable of loading and offloading huge amounts of cargo.

The K10 billion project is nearing completion and is likely to start operating later this year.
