A mixed passenger / cargo ship on Lake Tanganyika. She was built on the lake in or around the 1970's by a Finnish company and carries up to 800 passengers and 80 tones of cargo. Her original route was a weekly return route from Bujumbura Burundi to Mpulungu Zambia, stopping at Kigoma Tanzania and various small settlements down the Tanzanian coast of the lake. Her accommodation includes open sleeping areas and individual cabins and she has a dining room for passengers. She can take cars and small trucks on her forward deck.

She now normally plies a daily route from Kigoma to Bujumbura or return. The journey takes about 14 hours. The other passenger / cargo ship on Lake Tanganyika, the MV Liemba now undertakes the route to Zambia.
