Tradekins Ltd., a leading global compliance consultancy, and Shippers’ Academy Colombo, a premier logistics and shipping education provider, have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on enhancing industry standards in trade compliance, logistics education, and supply chain best practices.

The partnership aims to develop and deliver capacity-building programs, compliance training, and thought leadership initiatives to empower industry professionals in South Asia with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the evolving global trade landscape.

TradeKins CEO V.

Together, we will equip industry leaders and organisations with the skills to adapt and thrive in a complex regulatory environment.”

Collectively with our new partnership with Tradekins, we believe South Asia can improve regional and global trade through supply chain optimisation.”
