The “Sri Lanka Maritime Directory”, a long felt need is an informative website which contains comprehensive information and contact details of almost all the stakeholders who provide the services in the maritime and logistic sectors in Sri Lanka.
It offers a compact and comprehensive overview of all kinds of companies, suppliers and service providers including information about ship-owners, port operators, logistics providers, shipbuilders, marine contractors, marine and offshore equipment and supplies, professional services, as well as all other sectors related to the industry, both Government and privately owned.
Going beyond, the Directory offers information on Sea Pollution, Maritime Law, History, Maritime Employment, Weather and even information about Hotels, Entertainment and any other service a visiting Sailor or a Stakeholder will need and many more subjects related to the Maritime Community.
Explaining the rationale behind the new effort the Chairman S L Maritime Directory (Pvt) Ltd W.S.Weeraman who is also the Chairman of Ceylon Shipping Corporation Ltd said,”This directory is designed and built up on a scientific base which endeavors to provide all the information in maritime sector in Sri Lanka on a single platform. It was identified that the information available for Sri Lankan maritime industry stake holders are confined to very conventional way of information system and as such Sri Lanka Maritime Directory has taken a major effort to reach the Foreign Service providers as well as locals to access all the information in a single platform.
It is a result of an extensive research conducted by intellectuals related to maritime field as well as other sectors. One of the objectives in this effort is to open avenues for local industries and investors to build up inter-relationship and also international relationship with their counterparts in the rest of the world as at present there is no such connectivity. We hope that Sri Lanka Maritime Directory Web Portal will meet a long felt need by providing these newest ways of information- sharing system”, the Chairman explained.The Directory will be updated periodically to ensure access to the latest information.
