“CINEC will continue to uphold the tradition and provide the best education and training facilities as it has done for the past 25 years,” he further stated. The M.V. CINEC MARINER was designed and built by CINEC’s very own staff with so much of hard work, dedication and passion. 

With this new facility, it further assures that CINEC not only offers extensive, specialised programs and training but also provides a much deserved environment where students can identify career goals and chart their long-term career path. It also gives the attendees new tools to ‘sharpen the saw’ in their daily work environment and ongoing opportunities for career development. 

As the demand for a workforce with high skills continues to grow, the high level training curriculum offered by CINEC provides students with an ongoing mechanism to enhance their skills and knowledge, which leads to mastering their jobs and added professional development; with the ultimate result being better productivity in the workplace. 

Colombo International Nautical and Engineering College (CINEC) established in 1989 is Sri Lanka’s largest maritime education and training facility. Over 14,000 students have followed CINEC courses to date and new recruits annually follow over 175 educational and training programs.
