September 10, Colombo (LNW): The Italian Navy’s ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi has docked at the Port of Colombo as part of a scheduled replenishment visit to Sri Lanka.
The vessel was received by the Sri Lanka Navy following established naval customs, marking the start of its visit to the island.
Measuring around 180 metres in length, the Landing Helicopter Aircraft Vessel is under the command of Captain Marco Guerriero.
As part of the programme during the vessel’s stay, Captain Guerriero is expected to meet the Commander of the Western Naval Area for a formal courtesy call.
The visit is expected to provide an opportunity for the two navies to strengthen professional ties and exchange views on matters of mutual interest.
