The largest-ever fishing vessel to be manufactured in Sri Lanka was launched at the Dikkowita Fisheries Harbour on Monday (03 Mar).
Designed with modern technology and in compliance with international standards, the 80-foot vessel was built by Danusha Marine for export to Somalia.
Danusha Marine has an established reputation for manufacturing and exporting fishing vessels to countries such as South Korea, Kenya, Sweden, and Norway.
This vessel, which marks a significant achievement for Sri Lanka’s shipbuilding industry, was launched under the patronage of Minister of Fisheries, Aquatic and Marine Resources Ramalingam Chandrasekar and Minister of Industries and Enterprise Development Sunil Handunnetti.
Commenting on the achievement, Minister Ramalingam Chandrasekar emphasized the need for Sri Lanka to expand its shipbuilding capabilities beyond fishing vessels to larger ships.
Meanwhile, Minister Sunil Handunnetti pointed out Sri Lanka’s potential as a shipbuilding hub, given its skilled workforce and strategic geographical location. (Newswire)
