Sri Lanka Ports Authority for a construction of a new deepwater container terminal.

The Chairman of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) Priyath Wickrama has said that the port was in the final stages of negotiations with a private investor consortium, led by China Merchant Holdings, for the construction of a new deepwater container terminal.

This year’s ice situation in China’s Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea has brought good tidings to the Port of Dalian. The port did not experience any ice and experienced a throughput increase of 21.7 percent year-on-year.

Congestion at Australian ports is expected to get worse within the next two weeks with the arrival of a further 153 vessels arriving, adding to the queue of 181 Capesize, Panamax and Handymax ships anchored off the country’s main coal and iron ore ports.
