Some members that this was their first visit to the Colombo Port or for that matter any other international port.

"This is a part of the YMF's plan to help young men and women gain an in-depth understanding of the key economic installations of the country," said President of the YMF, Mrs. Gillian Nugara.

"We will continue to organise similar events in the future, which will help enhance the knowledge of young members," she said.

The tour was organised by the YMF Innovation Subcommittee and was headed by Mrs. Manori Dissanayake.
