Colombo Dockyard celebrated its 38th Anniversary
“an Odyssey of Excellence...”
Colombo Dockyard PLC, Sri Lanka’s premier ship repair and shipbuilding facility celebrated its 38th anniversary on the 1st August 2012. During its long and exciting journey, the shipyard has offered repair assistance close to 9,000 ships and has contracted over 230 new ships for both local and international clientele. This indeed has been a remarkable journey, which started off with a humble beginning to now being recognized as an internationally acclaimed, modern, integrated shipyard. Since its inception way back in 1974, Colombo Dockyard has been on national duty and now is one of Sri Lanka’s largest foreign exchange earners, generating an average annual turnover of over US $130 million, which equals to one percent of Sri Lanka’s total export revenue. In addition to the economic benefit, the socio-cultural benefit it provides to the country is immeasurable, providing employment to over 3000 Sri Lankans and industrial skill training to over 450 trainees (at any given time), and developing the indigenous industry in the country and placing Sri Lanka on the world map of elite shipbuilders and repairers. The growth of business volumes over the years demanded expansion of facilities, which compelled us to set up green field Kelani River Yard (KRY) in close proximity to the main Shipyard, but outside the port premises making it flexible to respond quickly to various dynamics in the market. The secret of success of the Shipyard has been its constant focus on being a step ahead to ensure that every challenge is transformed in to an opportunity. In addition, the Shipyard believes in sustainable development for all our social stakeholders and to create a win-win situation for everyone. Colombo Dockyard has contributed positively to the community, by way of playing a key role as a socially responsible corporate, which has been acknowledged by the industry, ranking the shipyard within the top ten in 2011. The impetus for all the good work performed by the Shipyard is the guardianship of Onomichi Dockyard Company Limited of Japan which has enabled Colombo Dockyard to offer Japanese quality products and service standards, guaranteed delivery times, at highly competitive prices and maintaining its market competitiveness over the past years. With the visionary guidance of Mr. Akihiko Nakauchi, Chairman and dynamic leadership of Mr. Mangala Yapa, MD / CEO, Colombo Dockyard is indeed set to reach newer heights in our continuing odyssey of excellence.
Seychelles President Visits Colombo Dockyard continued from page 01
Upon arrival, His Excellency James Alix Michel and the delegation was briefed by Mr. Mangala P. B. Yapa (Managing Director/ CEO) on the activities of Colombo Dockyard and discussions were held on various topics including possibilities of cooperation with Colombo Dockyard to meet ever increasing needs in the fields of shipbuilding and ship repairing in the Republic of Seychelles. During discussions, Mr. Mangala Yapa explained how a similar type of co-operation was developed with Maldives some years back and how well it has worked out with our Indian Ocean neighbor, with mutual benefit. Colombo Dockyard having already positioned itself as a dynamic and versatile shipbuilding/ ship repairing facility in the Indian Ocean, pledged its fullest support to offer specialized, top end engineering services ranging from the construction of Coast Guard Vessels, Fast Patrol Boats, Passenger cum Cargo Vessels, etc. Upon completion of the discussions, the delegation was taken on a guided tour of the Shipyard. The highlight of the tour was
the visit onboard GREATSHIP ROOPA, a 78 m Platform ROV/ Support Vessel built for Greatship Global Offshore Services Pte Ltd of Singapore. His Excellency James Alix Michel praised and congratulated the Shipyard for the good work being performed and extended his best wishes for future success.

conditions including maneuverings, qualifying it to be assigned with “UMS” notation. The Vessel is also designed to have an enhanced accommodation area for 50 persons. These accommodation areas shall be well-appointed and aesthetically designed with special attention made to noise and vibration levels and crew comfort onboard the vessel, thereby meeting compliance to ‘CAC3’ notation of the classification society. The Vessel shall also be classed with “In Water Survey” denoting the vessel could be operated without being drydocked for 5 years. Due to this, surveying the underwater parts of the Vessel could be carried out while the Vessel is still afloat instead of having to dry dock the Vessel for examination of the under water areas, as is conventionally done. This is a huge saving for the Owner. In addition, the Vessel shall also be equipped with Tail Shaft monitoring system (SCM) which is a huge advantage for the Owner in his quest for monitoring of temperature and condition in the tail shafts. In addition to the dry bulk carrying capability, the vessel shall also be capable of carrying methanol, which is a low flash point liquid. In order to prevent any fire risks, a special deck foam fire fighting and prevention system has been installed for safety and shall be designed, constructed and outfitted complying with the latest rules and regulations applicable to a Vessel of this type and size. The plan approval and survey during construction will be performed by Lloyds Register and the Indian Register of Shipping.
Twin controllable pitch propellers, twin high lift rudders and transverse bow and stern thrusters provide good maneuverability and station keeping ability. The vessel shall be controlled from twin maneuvering consoles fitted in the wheelhouse, forward and aft stations with “joy-stick” controls. The Vessel shall also be equipped with advanced dynamic positioning (DP AA) system which assures safe and more efficient operations while working in close proximity to oil platforms/ rigs, even under harsh weather conditions. The vessel shall be equipped with a fully automated bridge layout with alarm monitoring systems for periodic single man bridge operation, and will be classed with “NAV1” notation. The vessel shall be fitted with automated installations enabling machinery spaces to remain periodically unattended in all sailing

Colombo has been a preferred repair location for Shipping Corporation of India over the past three decades.

Palanimalai (DWT 33,056) chemical tanker returned for her routine drydocking related repairs during July 2012. This vessel has a special relationship with the yard as Colombo was the preferred repair facility when MT.

emergency basis. Thereafter the series of chemical tankers Palanimalai, Tirumalai and Sabarimala has been regular visitors to Colombo for their routine repair requirements. One could say that Colombo is the home away from home for many of the SCI fleet.
