The ship under repair |
Winter GMBH and CO.KG of Hamburg required urgent replacement of 302
metres of steel vertical container cell guides in its container holds.
As this was a very sophisticated and urgent requirement the owners of
the vessel initially contacted the Dubai Drydocks and confirmed the
repair to them.
Acting upon information received, Kiran Atapattu of Colombo
Engineering contacted the ship owner direct and convinced him of the
ability of Colombo Engineering to handle this urgent repair efficiently
and got the ship diverted to Sri Lanka. The Colombo Engineering ship
repair teams completed the replacement of 302 metres of steel in 96
hours thereby bringing into the country US $ 60,000 worth of foreign
exchange and proving to the international shipping companies that Sri
Lanka has the technical capability to handle any sophisticated job. |
