UCL Logistics (Pvt) Ltd will conduct logistic operations to transport
Prima wheat flour from Trincomalee to Colombo Port by train for the
first time in Sri Lanka.
UCL Logistics (Pvt) Ltd is a member company of Expo Lanka Holdings.
Its Sales and Marketing Manager Sajith de Mel said the railway is one of
the profitable transport services in Sri Lanka and plans are under way
to implement this service within the next six months.
He said they will be booking a separate train to transport Prima
wheat flour from Trincomalee to Colombo Port. At least 24 containers can
be accommodated at a time.
“With the conclusion of the war the business atmosphere is very good
which has prompted us to undertake this innovative operation,” he said.
“When we put this method into a full time operation it would bring us
very good returns and it would also help to boost the Government railway
as well,” he said.
“We should exploit every opportunity we have to better the industry
which is now booming and is very competitive. To withstand competition
we should look for innovations and that’s why we are trying these novel
ways,” he said. |
