Dhanusha Marine exports 20m fishing vessel to Mauritius

Dhanusha Marine Lanka Exports (Private) Limited one of the largest exporters in the Boat& Ship Building Industry in Sri Lanka exported their first 20-meter multi-day fishing vessel ‘FV OCEAN HARVEST,’ for Ocean Harvest Ltd in Mauritius which successfully sailed to Mauritius recently.

Dhanusha Marine multi day fishing vessels consist of a communication and navigational equipment, refrigerator system, generator, chilled bath and bait hold to maintain the quality of fish obtained which will allow the fishermen to sell their quality fish harvest to local and international markets. The company has contributed to Sri Lanka’s exports by generating foreign exchange over USD 1 million revenue per annum over the past few years while creating more than 150 employment opportunities.

The fourth boat building factory of Dhanusha Marine located at Payagala, opened in September 2020. “Under these Rs. 300 million investments we hope to manufacture17 meter to 24 meter fishing and multipurpose vessels for the local as well as international markets and also create more than 100 new employment opportunities.”

Many infrastructural obstacles such as the narrow by-road leading to the factory and road way across the railway track and transportation to the Beruwala fishing harbour for launching were dealt with and overcome in launching this vessel”, an official from Dhanusha Marine said.
