Lanka Shipping & Logistics

Lanka Shipping & Logistics functions as a central hub for various vessel requirements across the major ports of Sri Lanka, including Colombo, Hambantota, Galle, and Trincomalee. The organization manages a wide spectrum of port agency services, catering to different vessel types such as tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships. These activities include coordinating berth allocations, handling documentation with local authorities, and ensuring that port stays are managed efficiently. Crew changes are a significant part of the portfolio, where the company facilitates visas, transport, and medical support for seafarers transitioning through the island. The scope of work extends to technical support and supplies, involving the delivery of spare parts, fresh water, and provisions directly to vessels. Assistance with bunker coordination and ship repairs is also provided, ensuring that technical needs are met while ships are in port or at anchorage. On the logistics side, the firm handles freight forwarding, project cargo movements, and customs brokerage, facilitating the movement of goods into and out of the country. This involves managing complex supply chain requirements and heavy-lift transport for specialized industries. In terms of industry recognition and compliance, the entity maintains international standards through ISO 9001:2015 certification. Professional affiliations are a key aspect of their operations, with memberships in the Ceylon Association of Shipping Agents and the Sri Lanka Association of Vessel Operators. Recognition by the Federation of National Associations of Ship Brokers and Agents further underscores their adherence to global industry practices. Lanka Shipping & Logistics continues to manage diverse maritime needs from its primary office in Colombo, supporting regional trade and international shipping lines through a comprehensive range of vessel and cargo management solutions.
