The present market has many players, at present there are 104 Registered freight forwarders, 329 Non vessel operator common carriers and 212 Main Line agents in Sri Lanka. With the establishment of the Merchant Shipping Authority (MSA), it is mandatory that all operators be registered with the MSA and also file in their charges / rates. However, this is a very encouraging to all importers and exporters as operators will not be able to charge anything extraordinary. On the other hand the small time operators will not survive in this market as these small timers were exploiting the unregulated system to their advantage.
It is an opportune time now to diversify into areas of interest connected with our present core business of Freight Forwarding. In diversification all avenues should be very carefully evaluated to have the right mix of operations ensuring that such operations are interlinked to each other and sustainable.
