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.
