Following the popularity and success of its initial Six-A-Side Cricket Carnival held in 2009/2010, and the follow up in 2011 and 2013, the Sri Lanka Logistics and Freight Forwarders’ Association (SLFFA) has once again scheduled a softball six-a side cricket tournament for Saturday, October 24, 2015, at the Colts Cricket grounds, Colombo.
The SLFFA Cricket Carnival is expected to draw a crowd of approximately 1000 participants, guests and spectators, whilst those in attendance would include the top officials such as chairmen, managing directors, directors and CEOs of leading logistics and freight forwarding companies in Sri Lanka. Forty eight teams, comprising of member companies, have enthusiastically registered to take part in this event.
The carnival atmosphere at the grounds is ideal for the whole family as there will be a kid’s corner, food stalls and a live band with Papare along with popular musicians to entertain all in attendance. As always, the association has also organised various prizes and surprises for all.
The main sponsor for this event is Janashakthi Insurance PLC while the co-sponsor is Mobitel. Generous sponsorships have also been contributed by airlines, shipping lines and the SLFFA members organisations.
The SLFFA was established in 1981 with the objective of bringing all freight forwarders under one umbrella, and with a view of institutionalizing and professionalizing the trade. Today the government, relevant government agencies and the trade have recognized the SLFFA as the apex body representing the freight forwarders in Sri Lanka.
The SLFFA currently has 110 leading freight forwarding companies in its membership. The SLFFA is a member of the regional freight forwarding body the Federation of Asia Pacific Air cargo Associations (FAPAA) and the International Freight Forwarding
body FIATA.
The association has been working towards maximizing the benefits to the freight forwarding industry by exploiting to the maximum the potential of Sri Lanka’s strategic geographical location. It has identified the need for greater investment for the development of air and sea freight facilities, infrastructure and in the development of human resources to sustain the fruition of Sri Lanka becoming the hub port in the region.
