1 in South Asia/Indian Sub-Continent
3 among ports in the Indian Ocean Rim
22 among 370 ports Globally

The Port of Colombo has been ranked as the most efficient port in South Asia and the Indian Sub-Continent, 3^rd in the Indian Ocean rim and 22^nd among 370 ports globally, in the second edition of the Global Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) 2021, ranking developed by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence and Financial Services.

Summarising the report, the authors say, “…how a maritime port performs is a crucial element in the cost of international trade in a country. Unfortunately, ports and terminals, particularly for containers, can often be sources of shipment delays, supply chain disruptions, additional costs and reduced competitiveness”. They go on to state that “despite the centrality of the port to global value chains, one of the major challenges to stimulating improvement has been the lack of a reliable, consistent, and comparable basis on which to compare operational performance across different ports…. This technical report, which represents the second edition of the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI), has been produced by the Transport Global Practice of the World Bank in collaboration with the Maritime, Trade and Supply Chain division of S&P Global Market Intelligence”.

Commenting on the Port of Colombo’s ranking in the CPPI, Dr Prasantha Jayamanna, Chairman, Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA), who are also the operators of the Jaya Container Terminal (JCT) and the East Container Terminal (ECT), two of the four container terminals in the Port of Colombo, stated that “The World Bank/S&P Administrative (subjective/expert) and Statistical rankings of Colombo among the top 7% of the ports in the world and the best in South Asia, is a testament to the Port’s position as the primary transhipment hub in South Asia. In addition to the valuable contribution made by our own JCT, the ranking acknowledges the significant role played by our partner terminals, Colombo International Container Terminal (CICT) and South Asia Gateway Terminals (SAGT), who together have made the port what it is today”.

Dr Jayamanna went on to say that “Given SLPA’s role as Regulator and facilitator of port development of Sri Lanka, it is important to record that the Port of Colombo will continue to develop ahead of projected demand and towards this, construction has already begun on two new deep water terminals, the East Container Terminal (ECT) by the SLPA and the West Container Terminal (WCT), by a consortium led by Adani Ports and including John Keells Holdings. These developments will progressively add over 7 million TEU of throughput capacity over the next 2-5 years.”

Also commenting on the CPPI ranking, Jack Huang, Chief Executive Officer of CICT, a member of the China Merchant Port Holdings Group, said “As the first and currently only deep-water terminal in South Asia capable of handling the largest container ships in service, we are extremely pleased to have played a major role in achieving this ranking by the Port of Colombo. CICT has won multiple accolades for exceptional performance over the past five years and we continue to offer our customers who are the world’s leading container shipping lines, a best in class service for their transhipment and gateway requirements and are committed to uplifting this on a continuous basis”.

Romesh David, Chief Executive Officer of SAGT, a consortium led by John Keells Holdings and the AP Moller Maersk Group said, “SAGT has played a catalysing role in launching and contributing to maintain Colombo’s global standing as the preeminent transhipment hub in the region. Twenty two years since it was established as the first public private partnership in the port sector in Sri Lanka, SAGTs confidence in the potential of the Port of Colombo is undiminished and is borne out by our continuing investment in new and upgraded machinery on the wharf and in the yard”.

The Port of Colombo recorded an all-time high throughput of 7.25 million TEUs in 2021 and continues its growth story, recording a year on year growth of 2% for the first 5 months of 2022 ending in May. The present terminals in the Port offer almost 4,500 meters of quay with depths ranging from 12 – 18 meters, are served by 47 Ship-To-Shore Cranes and over 130Ha of yard space. The SLPA, in addition to its role as regulator and landlord also holds 15% equity stake in the two private terminals, CICT and SAGT.

Emirates SkyCentral DWC will resume full operations on 26 March 2022
Seamless connectivity between DXB & DWC hubs with 24*7 trucking

Emirates SkyCargo has announced that it will be reactivating its cargo hub in Dubai South, Emirates SkyCentral DWC, for dedicated freighter aircraft operations from 26 March 2022.

The move will mark a return to dual hub cargo operations in Dubai for the air cargo carrier after a period of nearly two years. In April 2020, Emirates SkyCargo consolidated its freighter (main deck) and passenger (bellyhold) cargo operations at Dubai International Airport (DXB) in light of the suspension of passenger flights during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The consolidation was aimed at streamlining and expediting the transport of essential supplies and medical items across the world.

With the growth of Emirates’ passenger network and operations, as well as the progressive increase in cargo volumes, Emirates SkyCargo will once again structure its operations across two hubs in Dubai- with Emirates SkyCentral DXB handling cargo arriving or departing on passenger aircraft and Emirates SkyCentral DWC handling cargo on freighter aircraft.

Emirates SkyCentral DWC was inaugurated in 2015 and has a total cargo capacity of more than 1 million tonnes per annum. The state of the art terminal features extensive cool chain handling facilities as well as a dedication pharma handling zone certified for EU GDP standards. Dedicated aircraft parking stands in close proximity to the terminal allow for rapid and efficient transportation of cargo.

A fleet of dedicated trucks operating on a 24*7 basis will provide seamless connectivity for cargo between the two airports. For high priority cargo and urgently required commodities, Emirates SkyCargo will be able to connection time of under five hours from wheels down at DXB to wheels up at DWC and vice-versa.

Emirates SkyCargo is the air freight division of Emirates, offering cargo capacity to customers on its fleet of all widebody Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft over a global network of more than 140 destinations across six continents.

The Hambantota International Port (HIP) has declared 2022 as a ‘Year of Construction’, with several ongoing projects reaching different stages of building their respective plants in the Port’s Industrial park. HIP is fully concentrated on getting the projects off the ground so that the first phase of the park would be up and running by the end of this year.

The Port’s high speed productivity concept ‘HIP Speed’, is playing a key role in accelerating all aspects of the three main projects that are currently under construction. The luxury Yacht building plant, the Plug and play park-in-park facility and the tyre manufacturing plant that broke ground at a record speed with the port’s support, brings a total value of US $ 373 million in foreign direct investments to the country.

Johnson Liu, CEO of Hambantota International Port Group (HIPG) and the architect of HIP Speed says, “We have declared 2022 the ‘Year of Construction’ as our focus during these 12 months would be mainly on the construction of phase one of the port’s industrial park and allied sectors. It is not that construction for new projects will not continue in years to come, but we believe special emphasis is needed right now, in structuring the foundations of this multipurpose port. HIP, unlike any other port in Sri Lanka, includes an industrial park, which we will strongly push in our marketing and brand positioning, to attract further investment to our park and other areas of the Hambantota district. It is our intention to position not only HIP, but also the south of Sri Lanka, as a place for light, multi-purpose and heavy industry investments. The added advantage for investors would be the Hambantota Port, which we are positioning to be the gateway port to the hinterland.”

According to HIPG, there is an urgent need to speed up construction of these plants, as it would not only make already signed up projects a reality on the ground, but will also help in building momentum for further investment in the industrial park. The Port Investment Services Division says, this would act as a catalyst for attracting new FDIs into the country. Apart from the ongoing projects, the port has signed 40 sublease agreements both for the Hambantota Maritime Centre and the Industrial Park. HIP Speed, which has in its processes the ability to help investors understand the local terrain and expedite setting up operations, will provide support in obtaining approvals and cutting through red tape. The industrial park works in tandem with other operations in the port, including the establishing of a container yard, that would be vital for industries in terms of raw material imports and the export of finished domestic goods.

The projects that are currently in construction include the US$ 58 million state-of-the-art yacht building facility, by SeaHorse Yachts (Pvt) Ltd., which will complete land levelling this April, and begin construction by mid 2022. The US$ 15 million plug and play park-in-park facility by Shenzhen Xinji Group, is currently at foundation level. Once completed, it will attract light industry manufacturers and traders who would set up in Sri Lanka with a view to discovering new markets in South Asia. The US$ 300 million tire manufacturing plant by Shandong Haohua Tire Co. Ltd, has completed levelling work and will commence construction between the second and third quarters of this year. The plant, which will be built in 2 phases, has an annual production commitment of 20,000 container units.

The 3 projects are expected to complete construction of their plants within their given project implementation period and HIP Speed is working as a primary factor in ensuring that the deadlines are met. The port operator together with state organisations, is providing all support necessary to accelerate the manufacturing projects and realise their investments, so that they can contribute to the country’s export economy, at the earliest opportunity.

The Hambantota International Port is promoting its Industrial park to diverse industries from across the globe with a view to creating an international investor community. Currently investors from Sri Lanka, the UK, Japan, China, Singapore and the Maldives have projects in the pipeline. The port is also paving the way for projects in different sectors such as warehousing & logistics, home appliances, energy and value added services.

First MGO supply vessel calls at the port

Hambantota, 24th January 2022: Oil tanker ‘Sunny Bay’ carrying 15,000 metric tons of Marine Gas Oil (MGO), called at the Hambantota International Port (HIP) on the 23rd January. The vessel was the first to discharge MGO for storage at the port’s tank farm.

HIP, with its global partner Sinopec, launched bunkering operations for VLSFO last year. Now, with the tank farm along with its oil jetties fully refurbished and FSS certified for safety by the Lloyd’s Register, HIP is ready to utilise the storage facility allocated for MGO and MDO (Marine Diesel Oil). The port which received their first MGO shipment is now capable of providing a full complement of bunkering fuels to its customers, positioning as a strategic bunker operator in the region.

Benchmarking international standards, HIP has also set up a state of the art Petroleum Testing laboratory in partnership with leading global independent inspection service provider Intertek Lanka, to provide innovative and bespoke assurance, testing, inspection and certification services for bunker fuels, LPG, LNG and other petrochemical products. The laboratory located within the port premises, is classified as a truly international facility capable of testing IMO 2020 global Sulphur protocol.

CEO of HIPG Johnson Liu says, “With our Lloyds certified oil storage facility and state of the art testing capabilities, HIP has the overall capacity to add great value to customers. With our location in the Indian Ocean rim, where 50% of the world’s maritime oil is traded, our oil fuel bunker, LPG and future LNG operations, we are securing the Hambantota Port’s rightful place as a global maritime location.”

The lab testing facility will enable HIP clients to get their products such as fuel oil, marine diesel and marine gas oils tested efficiently and with ease, at the bunker terminal site, ensuring that products meet the required international quality standards. The port’s dedicated professional team ensures safe operations of the oil tank network, ancillary pipelines, oil berth jetties, and control systems, which are on par with international standards. All supporting facilities for operational safety are in place such as a wholly functional firefighting system and wastewater treatment facility.

HIP’s location in close proximity to one of the busiest sea routes coupled with the port’s partnership with top global player Sinopec to provide IMO 2020 compliant high quality fuel oils, makes Sri Lanka’s energy market more competitive while benefiting Sri Lankan players supplying bunkers for vessels. Once commenced HIP will cater to the second highest demand in the maritime industry. The MGO supplied by the port is of very high quality, compliant with ISO 8271 standard and can also be provided to overseas locations such as the Maldives.

The Sinopec group, the port’s bunker partner, was ranked 2nd in the Fortune Global 500 list in 2020, and a global leader in the fields of oil exploration, production, refining, marketing, and distribution. The partnership between SINOPEC International Petroleum Services Corporation and HIPG, will not only benefit the two parties and their international clientele, but will boost the Sri Lankan oil and gas industry, which will see the highest standards in terms of quality, knowledge and expertise.
