Hambantota International Port, a Public Private Partnership project (PPP) between the Sri Lanka Ports Authority and China Merchant Port Holdings is currently evaluating the options of handling containers.In addition, the bunker facility at the port will be operated by China’s Sinopec Fuel Oil Sales Co. Limited (SFO).“We’re all saying that the port of Colombo is congested but there is more room for efforts to be made for the three terminals to cooperate and that cooperation can definitely create more capacity until such time the East Container Terminal (ECT) comes on track. I firmly believe that cooperation between the three terminals is a must,” Tissa Wickramasinghe, Chief Operating Officer at the Hambantota International Port Group (HIPG) told the German-Sri Lankan Logistic Conference held in Colombo yesterday.
