Sri Lanka Sells Ships to India

‘Lakshadweep Sea’, a 250-passenger vessel built for India by Sri Lanka set sail off the shores of Colombo on Thursday.

The Colombo Dockyard PLC, the world renowned ship builder flagged off the second 100 ton cargo vessel built for the Administration of Union Territories of Lakshadweep, India.

The vessel joined her sister vessel, Arabian Sea which was launched in January and will operate en route from India to UTL islands and inter island routes.

Designed and built with the latest technology, the vessel is highly conducive for operation in toughest weather conditions. The two vessels will provide relief to thousands of commuters.

Lakshadweep is the second passenger vessel of class to be built by the Colombo Dockyard which has a series of achievements as a marine engineering giant in the region.

The building process had to adhere to stringent quality control and safety standards to ensure appropriateness in material and machinery of the ship.

Colombo Dockyard is an ISO 9001:2008 certified company with its own superior quality control and assurance procedures. It is the first time Sri Lanka was awarded the construction of two large passenger vessels for the government of India.

Good to see that Indian companies buying SL ships!!! Though Indian defence shipyards are fully booked by the Navy, India should sell some frigates and corvettes to friendly countries like SL.

BTW in 2008 India gave an OPV 'ICGS Vigraha' to Sri Lanka which was renamed as 'SLNS Sayurala'.

Right now, Tamil fishermen are better equipped than the Sri Lankan "Navy".... giving them steath frigates would tip the balance.

Some clarifications- The "passenger ship" is an inter-island ferry that will operate between the islands of the Andaman and Nicobar chain; these ferries are owned by the Andaman and Nicobar Administration and operate highly subsidised services for the islanders. Historically the earlier ferries were built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders (GRSE) in Calcutta. And earlier were named for the islands in the chain viz. Shompen, Diglipur and so on. Now GRSE's order book is full with IN orders for warships like FACs and Corvettes. Good that Colombo Shipyard is now able to market some vessels, earlier their work was mostly ship-repair.
