Context:

Chinese research vessel Shi Yan 6 docked at Sri Lanka’s Colombo port despite security concerns raised by India.

More on News

Shi Yan 6 had been expected to conduct research with Sri Lanka’s National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency (NARA), and the permission was granted only for replenishment said Srilankan authorities.
In August last year, a similar visit by the Chinese ballistic missile and satellite tracking ship ‘Yuan Wang 5’, to the Sri Lankan port of Hambantota triggered strong reactions from India.

Shi Yan 6: A Research/Survey Vessel with a carrying capacity of 1,115 DWT, the vessel is reported to be 5.3 metres in length overall 90.6 metres and width 17 metres.

Colombo Port

The Colombo Port is primarily a container port.
Due to the port’s natural geographic location, it has become a strategic hub which connects South Asia’s Colombo Harbour to the East-West shipping route.

Colombo port

Cargo originating from and destined for Europe, East and South Asia, the Persian Gulf, and East Africa is conveniently and efficiently connected through the Colombo Port.
Colombo Port and Hambantota Port are key parts of China’s ‘string of pearls’ strategy to encircle India.
