The Offshore Patrol Vessel P 627 of Sri Lanka Navy (former U.S. Coast Guard’s Douglas Munro) reached Colombo port today after a two month long sea voyage.
The vessel was officially welcomed by Navy Commander Vice Admiral Nishantha Ulugethenna.
“After a long journey from Seattle to Colombo, we celebrated the vessel's arrival at the Colombo Port. We look forward to the vessel furthering our shared value of supporting Sri Lanka’s maritime sovereignty,” US Ambassador Julie Chung tweeted.
The Offshore Patrol Vessel P 627, which was formally handed over to the Sri Lanka Navy by the U.S. Coast Guard in October 2021, departed for Sri Lanka from the Port of Seattle, United States in September 2022 led by Sri Lanka Navy crew.
During the passage from Seattle to Colombo the vessel made port calls at Honolulu in Hawaii, Apra in Guam, United States, Manila in Philippines and Changi in Singapore for replenishment and services. (Pic courtesy: Information Dept)
