Port of Colombo has gained high recognition during the first three months of this year in transshipment of vehicles manufactured in India, to other countries.
The Port is being used as the transshipment hub for vehicles manufactured in Maruti and Tata companies in India which are exported to South Africa, Ghana, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Malta and Alexandria.
Vehicles carried in small vessels from Mumbai in India are unloaded at the Port of Colombo and transhipped to other countries in huge vehicle carrier vessels.
In 2006, Colombo Port and India have transshipped 3018 vehicles. From January 1 to April 14 this year, there had been 2357 vehciles transshipped. Recently another 886 number of vehicles and 117 numbers of vehicles were transshipped via the vehicle carriers, "Bellong" and "Sagaterious Leader".
The security and efficient services offered by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority in transshipment of vehicles have also gained higher recognition of relevant agent institutions involved in vehicle transshipments enabling an increasing number of vehicle transshipments at the Port. Hence it has also contributed towards the growth of revenues of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority.
