MV LE CHAMPLAIN, a French-flagged cruise vessel, reportedly reached the Chennai Port with 108 guests and 118 crew members from Sri Lanka’s Trincomalee. The ship is all set to sail to Trincomalee on Wednesday.

He further specified the facilitating measures adopted by the state and central governments of the country, Vessel Agent GAC Shipping (India) Private Limited, as well as other agencies. He’s been hoping that the port will attract more cruise vessels in the post-COVID-19 phase with a modernised cruise terminal.
