New MSC–SLPA deal boosts Colombo throughput
The Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has reaffirmed its commitment to Sri Lanka with a new Terminal Service Agreement signed with the Sri Lanka Ports Authority.

The agreement sets out a clearer operational framework, sharpening service efficiency and capacity planning to accommodate anticipated throughput growth.

Both parties regard it as “a practical step” that will reinforce daily coordination and underpin the port’s long-term performance.

Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Geneva, MSC has grown from a single vessel into the global leader in container shipping, serving all major trade routes.

Its sustained commitment, scale and network reach have been instrumental in Colombo’s rise as a premier regional transshipment hub, consistently delivering the port’s highest annual volumes and driving both operational and commercial progress.

Recently, MSC announced that it will strengthen its transatlantic offering with a new connection from Northern Spain to Canada – the Canada Express Service.
