Solutions adapted to your needs

Sea Freight

Perhaps the most environmentally friendly mode of transport?

We can help you organise sea freight regardless of destination: container transport, FCL, LCL, green transport.

Sea port- Colombo seaport

Air Freight

Since air freight is the fastest route to get your shipment to its destination hence in case of urgent shipments or emergencies,  we arrange air freight for the shipment. 

Airport- Colombo airport


How do we do it?

 

  • Direct shipment to EU
    Mostly, when goods are sent using a carrier that takes a direct route to the port of discharge in Europe, the port of departure is from Sri Lanka itself (port information mentioned in the section above). We offer direct routes to Gothenburg, Sweden, and Oslo, Norway, often the quickest way shipping goods to Europe. 


Transit times

Depending on whether the shipment is direct or indirect, the transit times vary. 

Direct Shipment
  • Sea freight- 4-5 days, for India
  • Air freight- 1 day for direct flight and 3-4 days for indirect flight
