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.
