Company Profile

Viewed from a broader perspective, its accomplishments    centre around the fact that Master
 Divers pioneered the  provision of marine services by local talent alone. After all, it has
 single-handedly lined up specialised maritime services for ships plying the Indian Ocean,
from Yemen to Singapore. Since its inception, Master Divers has engaged in many offshore
and harbour-based marine activities and maritime construction work in Thailand, the Maldives,
India and Singapore. In addition, it has provided services to the world’s longest container
 terminal at the Port of Dammam, in Saudi Arabia. Today, Master Divers is on call to offer its
 services in any part of the world and it is probably the only marine outfit in the Asian region
 with its own fleet of vessels, equipment and expertise. The Colombo Harbour (Jaya Container
 Terminal) was deepened by using the company’s expertise, as were repairs to the Victoria
Dam and Randenigala. Becoming firmly entrenched as the market leader and, at times, the sole
entity in the provision of a variety of marine services Master Divers was convinced that the
Hambantota harbour is the ideal location to set up a new port to service the increasing maritime
 traffic in the Indian Ocean. Not content to rely on gut instinct alone, Ariyaseela Wickramanayake
decided to take up the challenge of proving this. From then on, he dedicated his personal time
and resources to conducting the necessary scientific tests and surveys to convince the
 government to take on the Hambantota project. After a decade long campaign,this came to
fruition thanks to the strength of ckramanayake’spassion for and belief in the project.
Construction is now under way and the Port of Hambantota will become a reality in the near
future. Over the years, the company has been bestowed with a variety of international
awards recognising its services; but on the whole, it remains focussed on maritime related activities.
