Hayleys Advantis Ltd has partnered with Belgium-based Sarens Group to establish a Joint Venture (JV) in Sri Lanka, significantly boosting the nation's transportation and logistics capabilities for large-scale infrastructure and renewable energy projects. Key Highlights of the Partnership: • Strategic Focus: The JV combines Advantis’ local operational expertise with Sarens' global heavy-lift engineering to provide end-to-end solutions for out-of-gauge and overweight cargo. • Primary Project: The collaboration’s first major task is the 50MW Haywind wind power development in Mannar—Sri Lanka’s largest private-sector wind investment to date. • Logistics Scope: Advantis and Sarens will manage the specialized transport and erection of wind turbine generators from the Port of Trincomalee to Mannar. Infrastructure & Economic Impact: • Investment in Assets: Advantis has invested in specialized multi-axle hydraulic trailers, blade adaptors, and tower transport trailers to handle complex inland routes. • Energy Transition: By enabling the Haywind project, the JV supports a landmark tariff of US$ 0.0465 per unit (approx. Rs. 14.37), setting a new benchmark for low-cost clean energy in Sri Lanka. • Regional Ambition: The alliance aims to serve as a hub for engineered lifting and project logistics across the wider South Asian region. _Source: Based on official corporate disclosures (February 2026)._
