Port
s
Colombo, the largest city and commercial capitol of Sri Lanka, situated in the West coast of the island. The port is near the mouth of the Kelani River. The original Sinhalese name, “Kelani Thota” (Kelani Ferry) was corrupted to “Kolambu” by the Arab traders and was changed to “Colombo” by the Portuguese. A 16th century Portuguese fort was transformed to a government and commercial center. The Port of Colombo is one of the world’s largest man made harbours and presently is the county’s major port for imports, exports and transshipment handling whether it is
container or conventional cargo. Having a history of centuries, the Colombo Port has become the live line of the heart of the islands’ commercial operations. Colombo was an open roadstead before the year 1875. The bay of Colombo had supplied a safe anchorage for the vessels especially during the Northeast monsoon form December to April. The natural harbours of Galle and Trincomalee were used during the South west monsoon. The Port of Galle was the principle port in the island at that time.
Historical evidence suggests that, in the 15th century Arab traders made Colombo, the centre of their trading activities in the Indian Ocean. A century later, the Portuguese fortified it and enhanced its importance as the most popular emporium in the East. During the Dutch period (1658-1796) a further enhancement of Colombo’s importance was seen. Nevertheless, it was under the British with the extension of their sovereignty over the whole island, that Colombo received the greatest impetus for its rise to eminence in the Indian Ocean region. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Colombo was the funnel through which almost all of the trade of the country flowed. In the later half of the 19th century, Colombo was an open and dangerous roadstead which provided some shelter to occasional ships. But by 1910, it became the third leading port in the British Empire and the seventh busiest port in the world. With the expansion of the British Empire and the growth in internal trade, the Port of Colombo became important not only from a commercial but also from a strategic point view. It commanded the gateway to the East. Part of the story of the Colombo port is straightforward. From the early 19th century Colombo had the main outlet for Ceylon’s exports and as these exports grew, so did the demands of
Historythe Port of Colombo. The reasons for Colombo’s pre-eminence in this respect are to be found in the internal geography of Ceylon. The major Ceylonese exports of coffee, tea and later rubber were grown in the wet zone area that was served more economically by Colombo than by either Galle or Trincomalee. During Portuguese times, cinnamon, then the main export, had been grown in the vicinity of Colombo and therefore Colombo became its chief outlet. Late 19th and the early 20th centuries so not only a dramatic growth I international trade but also technological changes in inland and maritime transportation. In Asian waters, this was signaled by a network of artificial ports. Although most of these ports performed a mixture of functions, each port assumed importance in one or two specialized functions. Bombay and Calcutta, for instance grew as inlets to and outlets from vast hinterlands. On the other hand, Hong Kong and Singapore developed as great entrepots. Colombo hardly had the necessary conditions to specialize in anyone of the functions mentioned above.

respect are to be found in the internal geography of Ceylon. The major Ceylonese exports of coffee, tea and later rubber were grown in the wet zone area that was served more economically by Colombo than by either Galle or Trincomalee. During Portuguese times, cinnamon, then the main export, had been grown in the vicinity of Colombo and therefore Colombo became its chief outlet.

Bombay and Calcutta, for instance grew as inlets to and outlets from vast hinterlands. On the other hand, Hong Kong and Singapore developed as great entrepots. Colombo hardly had the necessary conditions to specialize in anyone of the functions mentioned above. Colombo’s claimed to eminence; however, lay in the strategic positions that she
enjoyed in the sea routes in the Indian Ocean, to serve as a Port of Call for fuelling and other shipping services. But to take advantage of this position Colombo had to provide the port facilities and shipping services in such a manner so as to conform to the basic economic dictum that a ship in the harbour earns no income to the owner. Thus from the very inception, a quick turnaround of ships was the guiding principal in the port improvement programmes at Colombo. However, during the inter-war years, the coming of the faster oil burners and competition from the neighboring ports threatened to undermine the premier position that Colombo thus attained as a Port of Call. It is said tat the shipping at Colombo was more affected by the ebb and flow of shipping passing through the Suez Canal than by the vicissitudes of Ceylon’s commodity trade. Thanks to some huge investments, made by Japan, Port of Colombo, by 1993 had reached the 28th position among the world league of container ports from the 138th position it occupied in 1979 and latterly to 26th position.
BreakwatersUnder the colonial system of exports, demanded more safe and secure cargo operation and the demand of the cargo berths were the major obstacle during the decade of 1860 to 1870. Finally the legislative council of Ceylon has approved the construction of a breakwater to shelter the vessels during the Southwest monsoon too. The construction of Southwest breakwater commenced in 1875 and took almost ten years to complete. “THE FIRST STONE OF THIS BREAKWATER WAS LAID BY H. R. H. PRINCE OF WALES K. G. 8TH DECEMBER 1875”
The project was treated as a great piece of engineering work at that time. 4212 feet long South West Breakwater and pilot station was completed in 1885. “THIS GREAT WORK PROJECTED BY GOVERNOR SIR HERCULES ROBINSON K.C.M.C AND DESIGNED BY SIR JOHN COODE M.I.C.E. WAS EXECUTED BY JOHN KYLE Esq. M.I.C.E AND BY HIM COMPLETED APRIL-1885.”
The construction of the island Breakwater was started in 1894 and completed in 1898.The North East breakwater was completed in 1904 and with two entrances and breakwater light houses. The extension arm of the South West break water commenced in 1906 and completed in 1912. “THIS STONE WAS LAID BY H.E. COLONAL SIR HENRY EDWARD McCALLUM G.C.M.C. GOVERNOR OF CEYLON ON MAY 01ST 1912 TO COMMEMORATE THE COMPLETION OF THE HARBOUR WORK WHICH MESSRS COODE SON & MATHEWS WERE THE ENGINEERS”
The original depth was 6.0 meters and by 1906 it was dredged up to 9.0 meters keeping the depth requirement of Suez Canal authorities. There were 53 stream berths with buoy moorings were available for safe berthing. But no alongside berths were available. Cargo was loaded and
discharged using the deck barges and lowed alongside vessels at mid-stream/buoy berths. The Colombo Port Commission was set up in 1913. And by the year of 1925 the depth was dredged up to 11.0 meters. During the decade of 1950 to 1960, five main alongside berths were constructed.
QEQ - Queen Elizabeth QuayBQ - Bandaranayake QuayPVQ - Prince Vijaya QuayNP/SP - North and South PierCB - Coaster Berths
The Port Cargo Corporation was established in 1958. Finally the Port Commission and Port Cargo Corporation transformed in to Sri Lanka Ports Authority by an act of Parliament of Sri Lanka in 1979. All the commercial ports (Colombo, Galle, Trincomalee, Kankasanturei and Point Pedro) were brought under the preview of SLPA.
JCT 1 Jaye container terminal stage 1 was constructed during 1980 to 1985.
JCT 2 Stage 2 completed in 1987. JCT 3 and JCT 4 berths were completed during 1991 to
1993 with the depth of 14.0 meters.The main access channel was dredged up to 15.0 meters.SAGT Formally QEQ/QCT was transformed to South Asia
Gateway Terminal and three berths were completed in 2003.
UCT Unity Container Terminal and a feeder berth also completed in 2004.
PresentToday The Port of Colombo handles more than 4000 vessels 3.0 million containers and over 40 million Metric tons of bulk cargo per annum. Having work force more than 13,500 professional and skilled personnel, the SLPA boasts of the quickest and fastest turnaround of vessels in the Indian Ocean Region ports. There are 38 alongside berths and 04 dry docks available within the Port of Colombo. The maximum depth
is 16.0 meters while allowable draft is 14.0 meters for the vessels alongside the piers. The longest vessel called Port of Colombo was “Arnold Maersk” to SAGT 2 on 15/01/2007 with the length overall 352.0 m and to JCT 4, “Ever Chivalry” on 22/03/2006 with the length over all of 334.0 meters. But can accommodate any larger vessel, provided the maximum draught is less than 14.0 meters and depend on the turning basin.
The Port of Colombo is already reaching to its maximum capacity very soon. Especially with the new generation ships carrying more than 8000 TEU’s having the draught of more than 16 meters. At present Port of Colombo that was encircled with three break waters 130 years ago would find difficulty to handle bigger ships due to inability to deepen the basin beyond 14.0 m, particular orientation of breakwaters, width of entrance, basin size etc.
Presently Port of Colombo is handling Post-Panamax vessels up to 16 TEU across on deck. The present
Futurefifth generation of container carriers comes with a capacity of more than 8,000 with 22 containers across on deck need 18.0m draught and next generation (Malacca Max) with 18,000 TEU with a length of 411.0 m and breadth of 61.0 m need a draught of 22.0 m. To face the future challenges, the SLPA has already commenced planning for a bigger port adjoining to the existing with the draft of more than 19.0 meters. The “South Port of Colombo” will accommodate the fifth generation cargo vessels and beyond to bring Colombo “The Mega port in Asia” or the “Hub Port in Asia” status.

Competitive Route AnalysisThe following table lists the estimated deviation costs of a mainline vessel with a 4,000 TEU capacity calling at selected hub ports in the region. Should a major carrier make several calls per week at its hub port, the annual costs can be substantial, however, as it is representative on the length of the round voyage, the savings on time could provide the ability to reduce the number of ships deployed.
