Lake Niassa’s Chambo ferry will this quarter resume the transport of people and goods after two years of idleness due to mechanical problems.

The information was advanced by Jacinto Jamal, the maritime administrator in Niassa province, who said that the vessel will shortly go into dock in the United Republic of Tanzania for maintenance.

With the only vessel of any capacity on Lake Niassa out of service, the transport of people and goods on the lake is undertaken by small vessels, with consequent reduction in safety and comfort.

Lake Niassa, some 584 kilometres long, also known as Lake Nyasa or Malawi, lies on the border between Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique.
