Queens Radio Marine Electronics celebrates 70 years of engineering excellence

Queens Radio Marine Electronics (Pvt) Ltd celebrates 70 years in Sri Lanka’s marine electronics industry, earning valuable foreign exchange for the country through services delivered by skilled Sri Lankan engineers and technicians. The company supports international vessels with specialised marine electronics services, ship repairs, maintenance and technical support, helping strengthen Sri Lanka’s ports as maritime service centres. Founded in 1956 by the late C. B. Motha, MBE, as Queens Radio & Teleආvision Corporation, the company has grown over three generations into an established name in marine electronics and specialised engineering. A. Dinesh Motha, who has led Queens Group of Companies for the past 32 years, continues the family legacy while guiding its growth in marine electronics, aviation systems, fire and safety, and specialised engineering.

Queens supplies and services marine navigation, communication and safety equipment. Its major projects include the Vessel Traffic Management System at the Port of Trincomalee, implemented under a programme supported by JICA, and the corresponding system at the Port of Colombo, delivered in engineering collaboration with Signalis, a French Airbus company. In aviation, Queens has delivered ground communication systems at Bandaranaike and Mattala international airports, HF transmitters for air traffic control, Doppler VOR navigation systems and Instrument Landing Systems. Certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Bureau Veritas, France, Queens represents established Japanese and European manufacturers. Its Sri Lankan engineers receive factory training overseas and use that expertise to serve local and international shipowners. With well-equipped workshops and seven decades of experience, the company is positioned to expand its services to international vessels and increase its contribution to Sri Lanka’s foreign exchange earnings.
