Questions about shipping agents in Sri Lanka
What does a shipping agent in Sri Lanka do?
A shipping agent books cargo space on vessels, issues the bill of lading, files the manifest, releases import cargo with a delivery order and looks after the containers while they are in Sri Lanka. Moundhan Shipping Lanka does all of this from Colombo for exporters, importers and overseas carriers.
Is Moundhan Shipping Lanka a shipping line?
No. We are an NVOCC and shipping agent. We book your cargo on the vessels of the lines and feeder operators that call at Colombo, issue our own documents where needed, and manage the shipment for you from booking to delivery.
Which ports can you ship to from Colombo?
Direct and relay services to the Gulf, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Southeast Asia, China and Russia. The weekly sailing schedule on this site shows the next vessels for each port.
How quickly can I get a rate?
Send the commodity, container size, volume and destination. We reply with a rate and the local charges by email within one working day, usually sooner.
Can you deliver the container to my factory or warehouse?
Yes. We run our own prime movers, so import and export containers move between Colombo port and your premises anywhere in Sri Lanka without a third-party haulier.
We are an overseas NVOCC. Can you be our agent in Colombo?
