Sri Lanka’s Hambantota Port will start fertilizer and cement storage and handling services, according to Bloomberg, citing Nishantha Gamage, Senior Manager at the China-backed port.
Expectations are that a 10,000 square meter bonded cargo warehouse will serve the fertilizer market in first-quarter 2023. It will cater to Sri Lanka and regional markets. Cement raw materials will get a 17,000 square meter dry-bulk warehouse in fourth-quarter 2022.
