It indeed is a great pleasure to be here as both our nations have been enjoying co - opetition between our two countries stems from over 25 centuries and during these years many trades and gifts were exchanged for mutual benefit of both and close proximity of our countries have also been advantageous. The Since the advent of Colombo as a serious shipyard, India has been a true friend and a partner in progress. Successive Indian administrations have successively hand picked Sri Lankan expertise for many industrial contracts. Both, SCI and Greatship Group have awarded many shiprepair and newbuilding contracts to us over numerous contenders as we have consistently produced solid, reliable naval vessels at reasonable rates and delivered on time.
Reciprocating the ever expanding Indian fleet’s trust and needs, we have expanded and improved our facilities with the best the industry has to offer and our Dock 04 was especially constructed to accommodate large Indian vessels. We are here today to showcase our latest technological strengths and human skills that shines us apart...as we are now ready to offer even better and quality service with the combined strengths of our strategic partner Onomichi Dockyard, Japan.

Again! 3
DND Management Inc. Owned/Managed bulk carrier
Ionian Sea repairs completed successfully.
MV. Ionian Sea accommodated in Colombo Dockyard’s 125,000 dwt drydock No. 04 during her repair call.
Ms. Elia Kostapoulou - entered Colombo Dockyard’s records as the first - ever ‘Lady Superintendant’.
DND Management Inc. Greece managed Bulk carrier Ionian Sea (Dwt 37.295) called in for major drydocking and lay up repairs during November 2011, creating a record for the shipyard with the first lady superintendent in attendance. Colombo was the best option for the owners/ managers given the strategic location placing the vessel closer to her discharging port (in India) and next employment. During this drydocking call the major work scope consisted of steel renewal (25 Tons), mainly tank internals and cross deck stiffeners. Stern tube seal renewal and related repairs along with routine drydock repairs. This was owners/ manager’s first experience with Colombo Dockyard. The owner’s interests were looked after by Mr. Antoine Doucas – owners Representative and Ms. Elia Kostapoulou - Superintendent Engineer. This is the first time in the history of the shipyard that a Lady Superintendent had been assigned for overlooking the repairs. The yard team was headed by Ship Manager Ajith Kariyapperuma – who was well supported by all production departments to re-deliver the vessel on schedule. The owners were pleasantly surprised with the excellent facilities at their disposal coupled with the quality workmanship, professional approach to meet the owners requirements were highly appreciated. The bulk carrier was accommodated in the 125,000 DWT drydock for her repair requirements and thereafter she was accommodated at yard’s alongside pier. The repairs were carried out meeting the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) classification society requirements.

Pacific International Lines (PIL) UK, owned Container Carrier
MV. Kota Hallus completed repairs one day ahead of schedule
MV. Kota Halus accommodated in Colombo Dockyard’s 125,000 dwt drydock No. 04 during her repair call.
PIL, UK owned container carrier Kota Halus (Dwt 18,872) called in for her first special survey repairs during November 2011. The repairs were completed within 7 days, one day ahead of the quoted period. Colombo was the obvious choice for the owners/ managers given the strategic location placing the vessel on the trading route, the vessel discharged her containers in Colombo port and moved directly into our drydocks for her repairs. During drydocking call the work package covered repairs in all sectors; blasting painting, steel renewals, piping repairs, hatch cover resting pads and other routine drydocking related repairs. The owner’s interests were looked after by Mr. Mohamed Hoque – Fleet Manager and the yard team was headed by Ship Manager Ajith Kariyapperuma – ably supported by all production departments to re-deliver the vessel ahead of schedule. The owners were pleased and highly appreciated the excellent facilities at their disposal coupled with quality workmanship and professional approach to meet the stringent standards that was required. The container carrier was accommodated in the 125,000 DWT drydock for her repair requirements and sailed out direct from the drydocks. The repairs were carried out conforming to Class NKK classification society requirements. Eastern Maritime Ltd.(Colombo) Ltd., handled the local husbanding work smoothly. Emergence of Colombo as hub for container traffic, places Colombo Dockyard as a serious contender for many container carriers touching Colombo, for their repair requirements, be it drydocking or afloat. Over the past two decades many Far Eastern and European owners over looked Colombo due to the war risk situation that prevailed in the Island. The maritime industry in Sri Lanka has seen rejuvenated activity with the dawn of Peace, lifting of all war risk restrictions, many international ship owners/ lines are looking at Colombo, Sri Lanka as a serious destination for their drydocking repairs and marine requirements.

These two new vessels will also be deployed to cater to the increased traffic en-route from the Main Land (Cochin, India) to UTL Islands, as well as in the inter island routes expecting enhanced passenger capacity to ease the movement of passengers especially during peak season. The significance of this project is that, immediately a year after delivery of the history making Arabian Sea and Lakshadweep Sea, the first two passenger vessels that a Sri Lankan organization built and delivered to India, the Government of India has trusted yet another order to us. We, indeed are proud of the vote of confidence placed in Colombo Dockyard by the Government of India, counting on our over thirty seven years of experience and proven competencies, in awarding this prestigious contract. These vessels being the second series of passenger vessels to be built by Colombo Dockyard, will be superior to the predecessors, incorporating the enlightened knowledge from the previous series, and setting new benchmarks for passenger/cargo transportation used by the UTLA. However, these being passenger vessels, the Shipyard will adopt extra stringent quality control and safety measures in order to ensure the vessel’s appropriateness in material and machinery. During construction of these vessels, Consultants/ Surveyors from the Shipping Corporation of India, Directorate of Shipping of India, and Merchant Maritime Department will play an important role in Survey and Inspection. Colombo Dockyard being an ISO 9001:2008 certified organization, with its own brand of superior quality control and quality assurance procedures in place, will further fortify our quality assurance processes.

Colombo Dockyard commissions a 250 Ton Bollard Pull Test Facility in Trincomalee
Colombo Dockyard, the premier Shipbuilding and Ship repairing facility in Sri Lanka, commissioned a 250 Ton Bollard Pull Test Facility in Clappenburg Point, China Bay Trincomalee, in the eastern coast of the country. The test facility is built mainly to check and confirm the pulling capacity of ships including Tugs and Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels, up to 250 tonnes. The natural deep waters of Trincomalee, provides the necessary depth and other optimum conditions to achieve accurate bollard pull test results. This is the first facility of such high capacity in Sri Lanka. Although this facility will be used mainly for ships under construction at Colombo Dockyard, the facility could also be hired by other ship owners/ shipyards at a nominal fee. The facility has been set up in an environmentally friendly manner, maintaining minimal damage to the natural resources and eco-system. This test facility would be a requirement and a great asset, when Sri Lanka commences Offshore Oil and Gas Explorations activities in the Mannar basin, in the near future and will add value to the location as, vessels deployed in the exploration work could be subjected to various tests and trials using this facility. Colombo Dockyard’s foresightedness identified this as an urgent requirement to the Sri Lankan Shipbuilding Industry and as an ancillary facility for the exploration works and initiated to build it in close collaboration with Sri Lanka Ports Authority.
