Twelve LAPSSET anchors, and one Lamu pair

The LAPSSET anchors page names 12 stored anchors: Lamu, Shela, Mokowe, Hindi, Mpeketoni, Witu, Faza, Pate, Kiwayu, Kiunga, Lamu Old Town waterfront (heritage harbour), Kililana / Manda Bay commercial port. Per-anchor pass counts are not published on that page. The corridor page is LAPSSET.

Lamu then and now stays the single paired comparison on Lamu then and now. This note does not add a second pair. The 17 Oct 2026 chart stays on the corridor page. The town catalog is 7,445 places and is not a live row count.

Leg labels on the corridor schematic are not a second town list. Nothing here is a flight clearance.
