ILM Shipping Promotes Sri Lanka as Strategic Vessel Repair Hub 📈

• Maritime Strategy: ILM Shipping is actively positioning Sri Lanka as a preferred destination for vessel repairs, maintenance, and marine services across all major ports, including Colombo, Hambantota, Galle, and Trincomalee. • Strategic Advantage: Located along one of the world's busiest East-West shipping lanes, Sri Lanka offers unmatched accessibility. Nearly two-thirds of global maritime traffic passes near its waters, allowing for repairs with minimal route deviation. • Economic Impact: • Recent collaborations with two of the world’s largest ship-owning groups have successfully brought vessels to Colombo and Hambantota. • These activities contribute directly to increased port activity, foreign exchange earnings, and the growth of the local maritime economy. • Technical Capability: The country’s ports are equipped for diverse needs, ranging from routine maintenance to highly specialized technical work. ILM Shipping acts as a single point of contact, managing technical assessments and on-site supervision to ensure regulatory compliance. • National Context: This initiative strengthens Sri Lanka's role as a key Indian Ocean maritime hub, leveraging its geographical position to boost the logistics and marine support sectors.
