The clip captures hundreds of commuters rushing to board the ferry, while those already on board scramble for space, with some jumping off quickly as the vessel appears overloaded.
According to sources, the chaos occurred as large crowds tried to board ferries from both the Mombasa Island and Likoni sides, causing congestion and confusion.
Commuters were seen pushing and scrambling to secure space, highlighting the pressure on the busy crossing.
The Likoni ferry is a key transport link between Mombasa Island and the mainland, serving thousands of passengers and vehicles every day.
Overcrowding at the ferries has been a long-standing concern, as mechanical failures and limited ferry capacity can lead to dangerous situations.
Authorities have in the past noted that safety improvements are needed, including deploying larger ferries, better maintenance, and improved crowd management measures to prevent accidents.
The latest video raises safety concerns, with many experts warning that such overcrowding could potentially lead to accidents if urgent action is not taken.
Commuters are urged to follow ferry regulations and for the responsible authorities to prioritize safety at the crossing to ensure the well-being of the public.
