Shipping and container transport in Sri Lanka: common questions
Is Moundhan Shipping a freight forwarder in Sri Lanka?
Yes. Moundhan Shipping Lanka (Pvt) Ltd is a freight forwarder, NVOCC and shipping agent based at Ceylinco House, Colombo 01. We book sea and air freight, prepare the shipping documents, clear customs and deliver the cargo, and we have done this from Colombo since 2015.
Do you transport import and export containers in Sri Lanka?
Yes. Our own prime movers collect import containers from Colombo port and deliver them to your warehouse or factory anywhere in Sri Lanka, then return the empty to the depot. For exports we bring the empty to your premises, wait or drop while you load, and gate the laden container into the terminal before the vessel cut-off.
Which ports can you ship to from Colombo?
We book containers from Colombo to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Maldives, the Gulf, Southeast Asia, China and Russia. Our weekly sailing schedule on this website lists the next vessels to each port.
Can you clear customs and deliver the container as well?
Yes. Our customs desk prepares the CusDec and handles release at Colombo port and BIA, and our own trucks then deliver the container to your gate, so one company handles the whole job.
Do you handle dangerous goods, reefers and ISO tanks?
Yes, subject to approval from the vessel operator. Send us the MSDS, UN number and packing details for dangerous goods, or the temperature setting for reefer cargo, and we will confirm the booking.
