Based in Colombo, HS Lanka Pvt Ltd serves as a dedicated maritime support and logistics provider within the Sri Lankan shipping sector. Established in 2018, the company was formed to address the growing demand for responsive ship agency and chandling services across the Indian Ocean’s critical trade routes. It functions as a comprehensive marine service hub, catering to a diverse range of vessels, including commercial cargo ships, oil tankers, bulk carriers, and cruise liners that dock at Sri Lankan harbors or transit through nearby waters.
The company’s operational footprint covers all major seaports in the nation, specifically Colombo, Galle, Trincomalee, and Hambantota. Beyond port limits, HS Lanka Pvt Ltd extends its reach to Off Port Limits (OPL) anchorages, allowing it to service vessels that do not require full docking. This capability is central to its role as a ship chandler, where it manages the procurement and delivery of essential supplies. The company provisions vessels with a wide array of goods, ranging from fresh food and bonded stores to technical equipment such as deck, engine, and cabin stores. Its logistics teams also handle the clearing and forwarding of ship spares, ensuring that critical parts reach vessels efficiently to maintain operational continuity.
In addition to physical supplies, the company acts as a port agent and husbandry service provider. In this capacity, HS Lanka Pvt Ltd liaises with local authorities, including the Sri Lanka Ports Authority and customs officials, to facilitate smooth vessel turnarounds. Its administrative support encompasses crew change operations, immigration formalities, and medical assistance, as well as coordinating technical services like underwater hull inspections and cleaning. The organization is also involved in the bunker market, acting as a broker to arrange fuel supplies for visiting ships.
HS Lanka Pvt Ltd maintains professional affiliations with industry bodies such as the Sri Lanka Ship Suppliers Association (SLSSA) and the International Ship Supply Association (ISSA). These memberships reflect its adherence to standardized practices in the global maritime supply chain. Through its centralized operations in Colombo and presence across the island’s maritime infrastructure, the company supports the logistical needs of international ship owners and operators navigating the region.
