Projects
FPS - the recently-established project forwarding and third-party logistics arm
of Famous Pacific Shipping Lanka – has cleared and delivered a 9000 cbm shipment
of outsize brewery equipment from Colombo Port to the site of a new brewery at
Meegoda, 35 km inland.
The
project – which included 37 stainless steel tanks, the largest of which measured
15m in length and 5m in diameter – arrived in Colombo aboard a chartered vessel
from Wallart, Denmark. 
Project
FPS transported the tanks inland over ten nights, using two
specially-constructed, 15m long low-loader trailers with rear steering to help
negotiate tight turns on the route.
The
route to the new Millers brewery site in Meegoda also involved passing under
many low-hanging telecoms and power cables; this required the assistance of
staff from Ceylon Electricity Board and Sri Lanka Telecom. All movements were
conducted with full Police escorts.
Project
FPS Manager Mohan Lazarus was on location throughout the entire operation. He
says: “This was a massive undertaking. Although the route was short, it included
many challenging  obstacles. But everything went very well, and the
customer was very pleased with the end result. We would like to thank the Police
and utilities staff for their invaluable help
throughout.”</DIV></BODY></HTML>
