Spectra CY for Colombo
Within the scope of their Spectra Logistics partnership, GAC Logistics Sri Lanka and Hemas Transportation have opened a new 30,000 m2 CY with a capacity of 6,000 TEU at their joint integrated logistics facility in the Muthurajawela Industrial Zone in Wattala.
Built on 15 acres of land within the logistics city designated in the government’s Western Region Megapolis Masterplan Project, the Spectra Logistics facility is strategically located between Port of Colombo and Bandaranaike International Airport, away from residential areas. It is said to be fully equipped for container repairs and other depot work.
Lars Bergström, GAC group VP, Asia Pacific and Indian subcontinent, said that the country’s demand for third-party logistics services has been bolstered by global trade growth, and Sri Lanka’s rising importance as a sourcing base for international buyers in South Asia. “With the Spectra Logistics facility and the gamut of freight and logistics services that we provide, we are well-placed to meet this growing demand,” he said.
Niranjan Nallaratnam, CEO of Spectra Logistics, said: “Once the DC is completed, Spectra Logistics will become one of Sri Lanka’s biggest integrated logistics providers, offering end-to-end logistics services to support a scalable and cost-effective supply chain for our customers.”
