History

APL was originally registered as Lanka Trident Shipping Agencies (Private) Limited on the 14th of May, 1992, which was later changed to NOL Lanka (Private) Limited on the 20th of December, 1995. Our journey began on the 12th of November, 1997 when NOL-Singapore had acquired American President Lines. Not long after, APL Lanka (Private) Limited was established as a joint venture with 60% stake of Sri Lankan Origin – Mr. I. W. Senanayake who held 60% and the balance 40% held by APL Company (Pte) Ltd (Singapore). This 40% foreign shareholding was bought over by Mr. I. W. Senanayake on the 6th of November, 2015. He is now the sole shareholder of APL Lanka and this transaction is known to be the largest purchase of a foreign principal by a Sri Lankan individual.
