Colombo Dockyard presents two pilot boats to SLPA

Easter Sunday attacks had a major negative impact on the shipping sector and the Colombo Dockyard too saw the cancelation of a US$ 50 million order due to it.

Minister of Roads & Highways Ports & Shipping Johnston Fernando made these remarks while launching two Pilot boats built by Colombo Dockyard at a cost of US$ 3.2 million to the Sri Lanka Ports Authority. The addition of these two pilot boats will increase the SLPA fleet of Pilot boats to 8.
