ASSOCIATION OF CONTAINER TRANSPORTERS

The association of container transporters which was founded 29 years ago, was initiated with the sole objective of ameliorating the standards of the container transport trade in Sri Lanka. During the early/ mid eighties the container transport trade was still relatively new and although exports and imports had developed significantly during this era, the all important commercial transport element was slow to develop due to the inadequacy of vehicles and usage of improper vehicles, which were not geared to cater to this segment of the trade. In the year 1985 a few major transport organizations banded themselves together, with the blessings of the Shipping Corporation, Export Development board and the Central Freight bureau and formed the "Association of Container Transporters". This association focused on the problems and the improvement of Container transport, in Sri Lanka.
