Sri Lanka Naval Ship (SLNS) Shakthi commenced its passage from the Trincomalee harbour this morning (Aug 17) to reach the Port of Chennai, India to carry a shipment of medical grade oxygen to Sri Lanka.
The SLN said that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa directed the Navy Commander to make necessary arrangements for the delivery with a view to prevent likely delays in ports in transporting medical grade oxygen to the country.
This initiative was taken in order to maintain the required medical grade oxygen stocks for the treatment of COVID-19 patients in hospitals across the island, the SLN added.
