Dockyard plans new factory

Colombo Dockyard Chairman Dr. Toru Takehara said the Colombo Dockyard requires physical expansion space. “Therefore, we will continue to negotiate with the relevant authorities to acquire suitable land for expansion,” he said in the company’s annual report.

“We are already planning a new factory facility to manufacture steel bridges. To sustain growth at the Colombo Dockyard over the short term.We will focus on productivity improvements that will reduce costs, while also increasing business volumes. At present the company can manufacture four ships annually.I believe this can be increased to five ships by introducing more efficient production systems. Proposed new international maritime regulations will also provide new opportunities,”he said.

“Our future long term growth strategy will have a five pronged approach, where we will seek growth opportunities in the five areas of technology, logistics, energy, communications,” the Chairman said.
