OUR HISTORY

Established in 1956, Sri Lanka Shipping Company (SLSC) first comprised of Sri Lankan and German nationals who chartered, owned, and operated small cargo vessels on short sea routes to the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East.

This heritage is still symbolized in SLSC’s logo; the lion of Sri Lanka and the keys of Bremerhaven, Germany. This private entity, launched by the brother of the first Sri Lankan Prime Minister, holds the country’s name because when it was incorporated, Sri Lanka was still called Ceylon.

In 2017, the company was acquired by Hayleys Advantis, the transportation and logistics arm of Hayleys PLC. Established in 1878, Hayleys PLC is the largest, most diversified company listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange.
