Productivity and efficiency are two key things which Aitken Spence will focus on bringing to our ports here.
This was confirmed by Aitken Spence Maritime Limited chairman and Aitken Spence PLC director Parakrama Dissanayake.
The Sri Lankan firm, which acquired 51 per cent shares in Ports Terminal Limited earlier this year through a public-private partnership, took management control of operations on Wednesday.
Mr Dissanayake said at the moment their plan for our ports is primarily short term which is to “put the house in order”.
“The plan now we have is an urgent plan on increasing productivity and efficiency and we will take it from there,” he said.
