Colombo Dockyard is located in Sri Lanka, which is strategically positioned on major east-west shipping routes. However, decades of internal conflict negatively impacted business. Now that peace has been established, Colombo Dockyard aims to leverage its geographic advantages and expertise in ship repair and construction. It employs 1,300 workers and partners with major marine equipment manufacturers to provide services. Colombo Dockyard seeks to establish long-term service agreements and believes it can competitively serve the region's shipping needs due to lower costs and a stable political environment compared to rivals in Singapore and the Middle East.
