Dockyard sets up new Afloat Repair Unit

Colombo Dockyard PLC, (CDPLC) has already placed in motion the necessary ground work to set up a new unit to handle the afloat repairs that call Colombo.

The services provided by this unit will fill the gap of professional afloat repairs required by many international callers touching many ports of Sri Lanka, mainly Colombo.

The aim of this strategy is to facilitate professional afloat repairs with minimal down time at reasonable price. Dockyard has already started discussions with globally represented marine service providers to partner with CDPLC to provide the best afloat repairs in the region.

Service providers such as Wartsila, Man B&W, Yanmar, ABB, Cummins, Aquamaster, Caterpillar and Hydrex are expected to be sourced when providing the final service to the client.

The value proposition in this equation will be to offer a superior afloat repair package that is world class and fast at one of the most strategic locations in the marine map.

The reliability of the service will be coupled with the spare part back up from the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and Colombo Dockyard PLC supply network.

This strategic decision to move aggressively into this untapped market, has been as a result of the positive developments within the country.
