Hayleys launches modern Container Freight Station with ‘Logilink’

The Hayleys Group last week commissioned a modern Container Freight Station (CFS) to offer Sri Lanka’s importers, exporters and logistic service providers a comprehensive range of value added logistics services for their cargoes.

This facility has an added advantage as it will house a Customs Import Bond to facilitate the import and management of industrial inputs such as raw materials and components for the manufacture of finished products for export, the company said. Set up as a member of Hayleys Advantis, the Group’s Transportation business cluster, this modern complex named ‘Logilink (Pvt) Limited’ is located at Welisara and comprises 42,000 square feet of covered warehouse space with 10 container loading bays and a one acre yard. Speaking at its formal inauguration, Hayleys Chairman N.G. Wickremeratne said this latest investment in the Group’s portfolio of businesses in the Transportation sector would represent a standard of excellence comparable with the highest in the industry, and comply with all environmental, social, security and safety requirements.

According to Capt. Lasitha Cumaratunga, Executive Director of Logilink, the role of the company would be to manage a critical segment in the logistics of its customers bringing greater efficiency, direct and indirect cost savings and value additions that would enable these companies to better focus on their core operations.
