Unifeeder’s MV. Navios Unite operating the Asia Gulf India (AGI) service recently made her maiden call at the Port of Colombo.

To mark its arrival at the Jaya Container Terminal (JCT) of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA), a plaque exchange was held on-board the vessel between SLPA Vice Chairman Eng. Herath M.P. Jayawardhana, and the ship’s Master Capt. L. Bautista.
