Sri Lanka’s Navy inks agreement with Goa Shipyard Ltd for Floating Dock.
COLOMBO (News 1st); The Sri Lanka Navy on Tuesday (22) entered into an agreement with Goa Shipyard Ltd, India for the construction of a Floating Dock.According to Sri Lanka Navy, the Floating Dock is a much-needed requirement for the navy, and it will be delivered to Sri Lanka as a grant from India.Sri Lanka Navy said that the Floating Dock will be established at the Trincomalee Naval Dock Yard within the next 30 months.It is paramount to annually direct the vessels and boats of the Sri Lanka Navy for underwater maintenance and repairs in order to increase their efficiency for service, said Sri Lanka Navy, adding that at present the Navy’s dry docks can only facilitate the underwater repairs and services of vessels and boats that weigh less than 350 tonnes.Sri Lanka Navy said that in order to direct its vessels and boats that are large in size for underwater repairs and services, the Navy has to secure the services of private floating docks, having to wait for a long time in their waiting lists, that cause considerable delays in maintaining the Navy fleet to its maximum standards.Sri Lanka Navy went on to note that in order to address the issue, delegates deliberated with neighboring countries from 2015 to 2017, and it was recommended that the Sri Lanka Navy required its own Floating Dock.The Navy added that further discussions on securing a Floating Dock from India were discussed at Military Staff Level meetings between India and Sri Lanka.Following a lengthy process, the Cabinet of Ministers in 2020 granted approval to obtain a Floating Dock from India as a grant and approved Goa Shipyard Ltd as the supplier.The Sri Lanka Navy in 2017 & 2018 procured two Advanced Offshore Patrol Vessels from Goa Shipyard Ltd (GSL), and

Gordon Ramsay risks reigniting bitter Covid lockdown row with Cornish neighbours
Gordon Ramsay has risked reigniting his bitter row with Cornish neighbours, admitting in a new interview that he regrets not defending himself at the time.In 2020, during the pandemic, the 55-year-old moved to his beachfront home with his wife Tana and their five children, Megan 23, twins Holly and Jack, 22, Tilly, 20 and Oscar, two.The chef left Cornwall locals furious, however, because the decision came during the first COVID lockdown.But the TV personality assured their move was ahead of the lockdown being enforced.In a recent interview with Radio Times, the Hell’s Kitchen star revealed that he was still confused as to why he was criticised so heavily and said: "God knows why we took so much s**t from the Cornish."The celebrity chef explained how he relished parts of lockdown because he was able to cherish time spent with his children.Looking back, Gordon reflected: "A time like that – we'll never get back again. When the kids started disappearing again, I didn't want it to end – as a dad, not a chef."His decision to move to his second home sparked outrage from the locals who accused him of "bringing the virus from London."According to The Sun, villagers wanted him "the hell out of London" and threatened to expose his address if he didn’t leave.Residents made their feelings clear in a Facebook group called You Shouldn’t Be Here.One local said: "Wealthy second homers think making a few quid means they are immune from the virus and any rules.
