Trincomalee Port

The Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) yesterday published the project proposal documents to private sector investors interested in setting up port related business ventures in the Trincomalee Port Industrial Park.

“Interested investors will be able to collect the project proposal documents at the Port Committee Building in Fort and the deadline for issuing the documents to investors will be April 10.

The Industrial Park which consists of 3,000 acres of land will have investment opportunities in various potential sectors. Each investor will be allocated five acres of land at the industrial park. However, investors are allowed to subdivide or amalgamate the land according to their preferences. The investors will have to comply with the requirements as requested in the project proposal document to get the SLPA approval to set up business ventures at the Trincomalee port vicinity, a SLPA senior official told Daily News Business.

The Trincomalee Port City Development Project mainly consists of the Industrial Park and the Tourism Zone. However, at the moment, relevant authorities have focused on developing the Industrial Park at first.

In addition, the government will provide the required infrastructure facilities such as water, electricity, internal roads and other amenities to the Industrial Park.
