Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones during this difficult time. As Sri Lankans, all of us should work towards ensuring such tragedies are never repeated. Let us join hands as one nation and work for the advancement of all Sri Lankans. This year CILT is marking the centenary year. Over the last hundred years CILT has introduced and implemented many incredible initiatives that have revolutionised this industry and forever changed the way goods and people are moved around the world. This is indeed a proud moment for all CILT members, throughout the global fraternity. In commemorating this momentous occasion, this year’s CILT International Convention, to be held in Manchester, England from the 16th – 18th June, is expected to be truly remarkable. Whilst I encourage you to seriously consider being a part of the CILT International Convention, I humbly request all of you to join me in wishing CILT a Happy 100th Birthday! The focus of this edition of the LINK is on the Maritime Sector and its future. Two-thirds of our beloved planet Earth is covered in water, mainly comprising our vast oceans. For Sri Lanka particularly, being an island nation, the maritime sector is not only important from an economic perspective, it is part of our very existence. Therefore, understanding and harnessing its potential in a sustainable and efficient manner will determine how we progress as an industry, as a nation, Ashan Wickramasinghe, MILT and as a global citizen for generations to come.
