Dubai-based Emirates Shipping Line offers the dedicated Africa - Far East Asia service linking East Asia to major ports on the Eastern African seaboard with calls at Colombo on the westbound leg.
The SLPA is trying to drum up new business as cargo volumes through Colombo have fallen owing to the slowdown in world trade caused by recession.
The SLPA last December struck a deal with Emirates Shipping Line to call at Colombo port with a long-term, exclusive Terminal Service Agreement.
