Tradekins (Pte) Ltd, a global compliance consultancy, and the Shippers’ Academy Colombo, a logistics and shipping education provider, have 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.
CEO of Tradekins, V. Jesudevan said, “This partnership with Shippers’ Academy Colombo represents a step forward in bridging the gap between regulatory compliance and operational efficiency in global trade. Together, we will equip industry leaders and organisations with the skills to adapt and thrive in a complex regulatory environment.”
Shippers’ Academy Colombo will leverage Tradekins’ expertise in compliance and risk management to create dynamic, industry-relevant training programs and workshops. This strategic collaboration will foster innovation, support regulatory adherence, and drive sustainable growth across the shipping and logistics sectors.
Shippers’ Academy Colombo, CEO, Rohan Masakorala said, “The academy was created nearly 15 years ago with the support of the Singapore Shippers’ Academy which was originally supported by IE Singapore. Our main objective is to support seamless global commerce with solutions by re-skilling and upskilling the industry with latest trends both in management and technology. Collectively with our new partnership with Tradekins, we believe South Asia can improve regional and global trade through supply chain optimisation”.
This agreement underscores both organisations’ commitment to driving excellence in global trade operations and building a resilient, compliant supply chain ecosystem.
