One of the biggest fears of shippers is for their shipment not to reach the destination on time. We eliminate this fear, said Prasantha Dissanayake, Liner Manager of Perma Container (UK) Line Ltd. "What makes this possible, is the availability of fast and reliable connections," he said.

The Agents in Sri Lanka for Perma Container (UK) Line are Sealiner Shipping and Logistics (Pvt) Ltd. "We have our own fleet of containers and agents in different locations in the Middle East and the Indian Sub-Continent with an efficient system to track our clients' cargo and protect their interests," he said. They have agents in Mumbai/Navasheva, New Delhi, Cochin, Colombo, Karachi, Iraq, Doha and Bahrain. On March 1, the company will also open its own Perma Container Liner office in Iran. The company ships mainly to Iraq, Iran, CIS destinations, Afghanistan and the Indian Sub-Continent.

Expansion plans to the Far East are under way. The company has experienced increased volumes last year, making them one of the largest carriers from Dubai to Iraq.

After opening the Colombo and Cochin markets last year, they have enjoyed more success in these areas.

In Colombo, they were the second-largest carrier in tonnage to Iraq, after entering the market for the first time.

"Iraq is a tricky market with a lot of United Nations documentation and clearances involved, but being there for such a long time and our agents keeping a track of all movements, have given us the edge over our competitors," he said.

"We are a one-stop-shop for our clients as we take care of all the documentation and other services such as transport. We offer integrated shipping solutions," Dissanayake said.

"With our own office in Iran shortly, we are adding the port of Khorram Shahr, in addition to Bandar Abbas in that area and we will offer all destinations in Iran."

"As our head office is based in Dubai, which is a shipping hub, we have priority connections to Iraq and Iran with fixed sailing times weekly.

"Within such a short span of time, the company has grown steadily and we are grateful to our clients for the success."
