In celebration of International Seafarers Day (25th June), we proudly launched a meaningful CSR initiative at Bomiriya Central College — a school with over 3,500 students that has long faced challenges in accessing clean water.

As part of our commitment to community wellbeing, we were honoured to donate a fully functional tube well water system, providing a sustainable solution to this essential need.

Seaspan, a world-leading independent maritime asset owner and operator, continues to uphold its commitment not just to operational excellence, but to global and local communities.

We take this opportunity to thank the entire seafaring community for their unwavering service — and extend our heartfelt gratitude to all Seaspan seafarers for their trusted loyalty and dedication.

Together, we sail forward with purpose. 💧⚓🌍

Proud Moment for Sri Lanka at Sea! 🌊🚢

We are proud to announce that a Sri Lankan crew has successfully taken over the newly renamed vessel MV Lacerta (ex Twinkle Island). In a symbolic and heartfelt moment, our seafarers hoisted the Sri Lankan flag onboard, a true mark of pride, unity, and professionalism.
A heartfelt thank you to Orion Bulkers for entrusting us with this opportunity, and our deepest appreciation to the entire crew for their courage, commitment, and motivation in making this transition a success.
Here’s to many safe voyages ahead and more milestones for Sri Lankan seafarers across global waters! 🌍⚓️
