Supply ship orders for Sri Lankan yard

However, the owner of the newbuilds appears to be an existing customer of the yard, reports indicated that the new contract resulted from the owner’s satisfaction with the yard’s work on two AHTS vessels that are currently being built at Colombo Dockyard. These ships had been slightly delayed, said reports, because of late delivery of anchor handling winches manufactured in China by a Norwegian/Singapore based supplier, but the AHTS ships will be handed over in mid-October and end-November, 2011.

Colombo Dockyard has built four multi-purpose PSVs, with three more under construction for another Singapore-based company.
