Colombo handles 5.2 million TEUs, JNPT handles 4.5 million TEUs, all ports in India together handle just about 8 million TEU
Meanwhile Chinese ports occupy 7 spots in the top 10 list. These 7 together handle 131 million TEUs. The Colombo International Container Terminal (CICT)—a joint venture between China’ Merchant Holding International and the Sri Lanka Port Authority, in 85:15 proportion of equity sharing—has been a remarkable success
The Colombo International Container Terminal (CICT)—a joint venture between China’ Merchant Holding International and the Sri Lanka Port Authority, in 85:15 proportion of equity sharing—has been a remarkable success. On efficiency parameters, the port is now among the top 50 ports in the world, and is the leading port in the South Asia region. The key success of the port has been to develop as a major trans-shipment hub on the Indian Ocean. By being a deep-water terminal and with the capacity of handling the largest containers, the port has become a berthing favourite for ultra-large and very-large container carriers, which account for significant parts of container volumes in the port. The new port city will build on the success of the Colombo port. By creating new capacities, including on-land maritime real estate like a marina and new housing, the port city can well make Sri Lanka one of the busiest hubs on the Indian Ocean. The prospects have significant implications for the MSRI and India.
