AAL Freeport Group celebrates 30 years

The Pership Group is a company that has been in business for over 100 years and currently employs over 1200 staff and has offices in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Maldives and most recently New York and Chicago. Pership's primary vertical of choice is transportation and logistics in its many forms and variants.

During its 120 years evolution, the need for bundled solutions became more and more apparent with customers being more discerning and demanding due to the high competitiveness of the markets they are in. Pership being highly proactive, recognized this need and set up subsidiaries whose primary aim was to compliment and add value to the core business with the intention of providing bundled/value added services to its ever demanding and expanding customer base.

AAL Freeport was formed in the year of 1982, as the Pership Groups container terminal management and transportation arm catering to the operational needs and increasing demands of the international shipping lines the group represents.

In order to meet the needs and changing customer trends for quick response and dispatch, AAL Freeport is situated on a five acre block of land with storage capacity of 5000 twenty equivalent units and is ideally located 7km from the port, flanked on either side by the industrial and manufacturing hub and has its own stack enabling ECT to have the containers ready and waiting for fast dispatch.

Freeport Logistics has been involved with many projects, in both consultative roles as well as operational roles, since its creation. Freeport has not only been involved with local companies, but also multi nationals which gives credit to its strong capabilities in the arena of supply chain solutions.
