Tide gauge benchmarksBM@ is a bolt fixed on the tide staff at 3.8m above tide staff zero.
Benchmark relationshipsTide gauge zero (TGZ) = Admiralty Chart Datum - 0.942m TGZ = East African Railways Datum - 0.912m TGZ = Survey of Kenya Datum - 2.790m (from 1989) TGZ = 3.800m below BM@
Auxiliary benchmarksBM1 (TGZ is 5.683m below BM1 - June 1989) BM2 (TGZ is 5.850m below BM2 - June 1989) BM3 (TGZ is 13.883m below BM3 - April 1987) BM N-3 (TGZ is 6.226m below TGZ - June 1989)
Other relevant informationMunro gauge was located at different place in the same port until 1976. Valeport pneumatic gauge situated 350km to the north of Lamu since December 1988.
