| Summary |
Thanks to its location, Sri Lanka is well-suited to provide the facilities for urgent crew changes, medical evacuation, bunkering operations and the re-supply of provisions. The leased port will be able to handle dry cargo, roll-on roll-off (roro) vessels transporting trucks and automobiles, oil tankers, as well as gigantic 400-metre container ships. A billion oil refining facility is to be built and operated by either Sinopec or China Petroleum, while a large cement factory is also to be constructed, and Chinese manufacturing and logistics companies are already planning to begin operations on the island |
