Experienced at sea. Trusted on shore. Built for the world's most demanding maritime operations.
AIS - ACME International Shipping was founded in 2020 under the vision of Ch/Eng. W.A.D. Fernando (MCA Class Unlimited) — an idea born not in a boardroom, but at sea. Every director who joined from day one was an active sailing Master or Chief Engineer, united by a shared understanding of the real challenges modern seafarers face.
That experience is our edge. We don't learn about maritime problems from reports — we've navigated them ourselves. By working directly with ship managers and owners, we eliminate the communication gap that costs time, money, and opportunity.
Sri Lanka's strategic position in the Indian Ocean, at the heart of the world's busiest trade routes, makes it the ideal base for a maritime services partner of the future. ACME is that partner.
ACME was established by Ch/Eng. W.A.D. Fernando with a core team of marine engineers and master mariners near the Colombo WTC.
Expanded husbanding, recruitment, and crew support services across 15+ major global fleet operators.
Attained QMS ISO 9001:2015 certification, verifying quality, compliance, and safety standards at all levels.
Launched our real-time crew tracking and remote marine technical assistance dashboard, serving 20+ countries.
We supply only professionals who meet full qualification, medical fitness, and experience requirements under both international and national maritime law.
We systematically identify and mitigate risks across all processes, continuously improving our Quality Management System for greater reliability.
Our management and staff are bound to uphold ISO 9001:2015 standards and relentlessly improve the effectiveness of every service we provide.
