Sastry rebrands Arise Shipping & Logistics

Arise Shipping & Logistics has rebranded as Adhira Shipping and Logistics (ASL) following the full takeover of the company by its CEO, Pappu Sastry. 

ASL, best known for its African mining logistics expertise, offers a range of services including land logistics, project management, port management, barging and transshipment, shipping services and niche commodity trading.

“Many mining logistics operations are fragmented; these inherent inefficiencies add additional costs and time to the process. We have a holistic approach for each project and deliver effective project management and bespoke services as the way to manage and integrate logistics services from the mine to port. We can also offer shipping of the same commodity from port to smelters, refineries or processing plant if required,” said Sastry.
