Given the prevailing wind conditions and sea currents, there is a high possibility that these containers are drifting southwards towards the waters near Galle via Chilaw, Negombo and Beruwala.<\/p><p>Therefore, all fishing vessels operating and navigating in the southern sea areas from Colombo to Galle via Beruwala are advised to exercise extreme caution. As collisions with these floating containers could result in serious accidents, vessel operators are urged to remain highly alert.<\/p><p>The Department kindly requests all fishing operators to
