Ships need so much services such as crew changes, Bunkering (Re-fueling), Provision (Food), Spare parts/Stores supply & etc. These services are not cheap. All these are mainly supplied in this region by Singapore ( a country smaller than ours & with limited resources). All these ship pass Sri Lanka before reaching high traffic area of Singapore. The reason why shipping companies not reaching our country for these services is we did not manage to build a good reputation.Reasons;- When they ask for quotations our people give higher prices. (We have to think about long term instead of thinking for short term profits)- Quality of services are poor (Specially the boats).- Galle port infrastructures has to be improved.- No proper bunkering arrangements available.If we can invest on the above matters work for it, this will contribute significantly on our country's economy.</blockquote>
