$4 billion for Colombo

The majority of this would be spent on creating a breakwater, with some work to the quay.

A report on a planned $4 billion development of Colombo port is due to be published. The project, which is being promoted by the Sri Lanka Export Development Board, will add a further 13 berths to the current 12, with the majority of the new ones given over to container handling. This will boost throughput from 3m to 8mTEUs. The development, which is south of the existing port, will be taken forward with private sector investment.
