The Colombo Port has set a record during this tourism season receiving six luxury passenger vessels within 48 hours with foreign passengers on board.
This is the first time that six luxury passenger vessels arrived at the Port almost simultaneously.
A large number of passengers from Great Britain, United States of America, Germany and France arrived in Colombo on board these vessels. Maritime sources say the increased number of arrivals of passenger vessels to the Colombo Port signifies high recognition for Colombo in maritime and tourism industries.
The six ships are Ocean Odyssey, Amadia, Astot, Maxim Gorky, Sagarose and Silver Shadow.
The luxury “Silver Shadow” was the latest to call at Colombo with 800 passengers and crew on board, from Phuket in Thailand.
To mark the ship’s maiden call at the port, a plaque exchange was also held on board between the Additional Managing Director of Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA), Capt. Nihal Keppetipola and the Ship’s Captain Emanuele Chiesa.
