The new offering was created in response to demand for chartering which had in the past had to be met by external brokers. GAC Sri Lanka’s chartering service connects shippers with a network of trusted dry bulk vessel owners, enabling them to fix terms for dry and breakbulk cargo such as gypsum, coal, mineral ores, cement, steel, chemical, grain and project heavy lift shipments. It helps Sri Lankan importers and exporters expand their operations through a secure and independent operating platform, regardless of fluctuating market conditions.
