Marine manufacturing

NorthWest Marine Lanka

NorthWest Marine fishing vessel at sea

Built at Dikkowita, sold beyond it

The company started in 2006 at the Industrial Development Board estate in Dankotuwa with a small team of craftsmen and the aim of building longline fibreglass hulls good enough to export. In 2023 it moved into a purpose built yard opposite Dikkowita International Fisheries Harbour.

Alongside the boats it provides marine engineering to the Sri Lankan fishing community: maintenance contracts, vessel operation contracts, longline advisory work, ice and fish processing plant installation, and supply of gear, engines, generators and spares.

  • Fishing, workboat, passenger and leisure hulls
  • Multi day longline vessels for offshore work
  • Ice plants and fish processing plants installed
  • Project planning for the fisheries sector

Working for the fleet that works the coast

Most of what leaves the yard goes to Sri Lankan owners running multi day trips out of harbours like this one. The engineering side of the business keeps those vessels at sea, with maintenance and operation contracts, gear and spares, and advisory work on longline methods.

The same capability builds the shore infrastructure behind the fleet, from ice plants and fish processing plants to project planning for the sector.

  • Company owned drill rigs, logged and sampled in house
  • Full geophysical suite from electrical to gravity
  • XRF and AAS analysis, field and laboratory
  • Technical reporting and environmental assessment

Capability

Ground to feasibility, in house.

A target can be mapped, drilled, assayed and modelled without handing the programme to anyone else.

Field mapping

Geological and structural mapping to identify new deposits and set drill targets.

Geophysical investigation

Electrical, electromagnetic, magnetic, ground penetrating radar and gravity surveys across prospective zones.

Drilling

Programmes run on owned or contracted rigs, with core and chips logged, sampled and modelled through to a block model.

Sample analysis

XRF for oxides in field and laboratory, AAS for elements, grain counting for heavy mineral sand assemblages.

Studies and permitting

Economic assessment, pre feasibility and feasibility studies, reserve estimation and environmental impact assessment.

Mine planning

Strategic mine planning and engineering for open pit deposits, active mining and operational audit.
