ACME International Shipping connects global operators with elite maritime services from the heart of the Indian Ocean, including crewing, chandelling, technical support, and beyond.
Our directors are active Masters and Chief Engineers. We know the sea, the operations, and the realities of vessel turnaround—not just the paperwork.
Crewing, provisions, safety inspections, underwater repairs, and bunker supply—every maritime requirement managed smoothly under one trusted contact.
Colombo sits at the absolute crossroads of global maritime trading lanes. We leverage this geography to streamline logistics and minimize vessel delay.
AIS was born from a simple insight: the people who best understand maritime challenges are the ones who've lived them. Founded in 2020 by active sailing Masters and Chief Engineers, we exist to bridge the gap between global operators and world-class services from Sri Lanka's emerging maritime hub.
We combine deep field expertise with rapid-response logistics, assuring ship operators that their assets are managed under highest safety standards, full compliance, and zero compromise.
