The National Logistics Awards 2024 (NLA) was held in Colombo and was hosted by the Sri Lanka Logistics and Freight Forwarders’ Association (SLFFA) to honour outstanding achievements to the logistics sector by bringing together leaders and participants in the business.

Over 40 prizes presented in ten main categories in freight forwarding, ocean carriers, airlines, warehousing and project logistics the evening was a huge success.

The awards ceremony, which was supported by 28 important organisations including Sri Lanka Customs and the Ports and Shipping Ministry, emphasised the value of cooperation and acknowledgement in the logistics industry.

The event received support from CL Synergy Ltd., as main sponsor while Aitken Spence Maritime, Freight and Integrated Logistic and Hayleys Advantis will join in as Gold Sponsors.

Expolanka Freight Ltd., Scanwell Logistics Colombo Ltd., and Transwing Logistics Ltd. have come aboard as Bronze Sponsors which helped power the event to success. SLFFA Chairmen Channa Gunawardena said, “This event not only celebrated excellence in the logistics sector but also showcased our collective resilience and commitment to driving innovation in Sri Lanka’s logistics industry.”

In addition, the NLA 2024 sought to encourage youth by bringing attention to the diverse sectors in the logistics industry.

The SLFFA feels that after overcoming many obstacles, including the pandemic and difficult economic conditions, this acknowledgement is long overdue for an industry that has demonstrated incredible tenacity and resilience.
