The port that was rendered unusable due to the volatile situation that prevailed in the past is now being developed and it will be the first such deep water facility that is rebuilt in the northern peninsular. The port is a key in connecting the Jaffna peninsula with the regional destinations, particularly India. KKS will give the Northern peninsular a window to the world and restore both regional and domestic connectivity. The Port will significantly lower the transit time of goods from and to India, Bangladesh, and the neighbouring countries and propel economic activity in the northern region that is now trying to find its feet after three decades of terror. 22 Olluvil Harbour Project Profile Commercial Harbour Stage I 5000 DWT Breakwater Length 1320 M Quay wall Length 330 M Draft 8 M Total Water Area 10Ha Fisheries Harbour Quay Wall Length 220 M Draft 3 M Total Water Area 06 Ha 23 Growth – Container trade 24 Expected Growth Rates of Container Volume 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 North America 5.6% 4.9% 4.3% 4.1% 4.1% West Europe 4.9% 4.6% 4.5% 4.2% 3.3% Far East 10.0% 9.1% 9.0% 8.9% 9.5% South East Asia 8.5% 7.2% 7.1% 6.7% 7.0% South Asia 11.1% 8.9% 8.8% 8.7% 8.4% Middle East 7.3% 6.8% 6.5% 6.5% 7.2% Africa 7.4% 6.0% 4.9% 4.7% 6.3% Latin America 6.0% 5.4% 5.0% 6.2% 9.7% Oceania 6.1% 4.3% 4.1% 4.2% 4.1% Eastern Europe 11.5% 8.8% 9.0% 7.7% 7.8% World Total 8.0% 7.2% 7.0% 6.9% 7.5% 25 Growth – Sri Lanka’s Exports, 1H 26 Growth - Regional Activities Sri Lanka hosted the 13th conference of the International Network of Affiliated Ports (INAP) in Colombo in August 2011 under the theme “Bridging Global Regions through Affiliated Ports for Mutual Corporation”. International Association of Ports and harbors (IAPH), the apex international body for ports and harbours will hold the 12th Asia/Oceania regional meeting at Colombo In March 2012, hosted by SLPA. 27 Growth – Indian Sub Continent Having one of the worlds largest and fastest developing countries as neighbor is a prime advantage to Sri Lanka Sri Lanka will be a gateway to the Indian subcontinent with the rapid development of its ports especially with the deep draft ports and the close proximity to the East-West sea lane which will be better suited to act as a feeder port to the huge Indian market. Deep economic integration with a fast-moving economy like India could contribute to stimulate growth rates in Sri Lanka Sri Lanka views the Indian Sub continent as an opportunity and stands to benefit from the rapid growth that’s taking place It will propel a tremendous growth in the bunker market of Sri Lanka. 28 Growth – Tax incentives and duty wavers Foreign investment is an important element in Sri Lanka's economic growth and is therefore actively encouraged. Board of Investment (BOI) is an autonomous agency, government body overlooking the establishment of foreign business ventures in Sri Lanka and grants concessions to Investors with preferential tax rates, constitutional guarantees on investment agreements, exemptions from exchange control and 100% repatriation of profits & capital. Most of the Bunkering companies in Sri Lanka are BOI ventures. There are no import or export taxes imposed on bunkers Under the new Strategic Development Project act, projects which are likely to bring economic and social benefit to the country, which are also likely to change the landscape of the country primarily through the strategic importance are also given tax concession and duty waivers. Cairn Lanka (Oil exploration off Mannar basin) was the first such project approved and classified under this Act whilst the Colombo South Harbour project and Globally-renowned hotel chain Shangri La are a few examples. 29 Growth – New opportunities for Bunkering 30 Piracy 31 Piracy in the East coast of Africa 32 Increasing in calls of Naval vessels 33 Patrolling Naval Crafts Increase in Naval vessel calls to Colombo which has increased the MGO requirement 34 Sea Marshall Operation Latest statistics indicate that there are over 300 vessels per month calling in Galle and Colombo. 35 Fishing Trawlers Trawler Calls at Mutwal harbour has increased from 18 to 30 in the last 4 months Bunkers (MGO) supplies has increased in the corresponding period 36 Offshore Oil Exploration Presently the rig ‘Chikyu’ with its supportive Tugs and Boats has increased demands of MGO 37 Refinery Upgrade Sri Lanka is presently negotiating with Russia and South Korea to increase the capacity of the present refinery at Sapugaskanda and another at Hambantota. Russia too is becoming one of Sri Lanka’s strong trading partners and discussions are being held for Oil exploration with Gazprom. South Korea's Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co is already in Sri Lanka, involved in the port expansion, 38 38 Challenges in Bunkering The main challenge would be to successfully market Sri Lanka as a Hub for bunkering. Though prices of Bunker Fuels in Sri Lanka will be attractive for Vessels which are not calling Singapore and the AG, the challenge would be to break into the main liners and other vessels which are not calling Sri Lankan ports. Sourcing Storage Distribution Pricing strategy (the most critical element) Price Discrimination – Colombo Port vs Hambantota Monsoons 39 Challenges In the process of making Sri Lanka a “bunker hub” of South Asia, Sri Lanka needs to design an effective bunker market which is in line with global best practices. In this aspect appointment of a regulator with a comprehensive bunkering management covering the entire bunker supply chain is of paramount importance. 40 Challenges COST EFFECTIVENESS A good analogy for the different costs faced by the bunker operator is an iceberg. Above the line costs, or the visible part of the iceberg, are usually the most obvious and easiest to manage.

  • Galle Harbour Maritime Archaeological Impact Assessment Report for Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology
    Galle Harbour Maritime Archaeological Impact Assessment Report for Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology Ross Anderson, Jeremy Green and Corioli Souter Western Australian Museum, Department of Maritime Archaeology Report–Department of Maritime Archaeology, Western Australian Museum, No. 235. 2007 Background Following discussions between the Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology (SLDA) and Department of Maritime Archaeology, Western Australian Museum (WAM), WAM was engaged as a consultant to undertake a maritime archaeological survey of Galle Harbour as part of an Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) process. The scope of the consultancy was to carry out a maritime archaeological survey, and provide a report to the SLDA outlining the impact of the proposed Galle port development on the underwater cultural heritage of Galle Harbour. The survey took place between 14 November and 2 December 2007. WAM has been involved in maritime archaeological investigations in Galle Harbour since 1992. Previous work includes: remote sensing surveys, site inspections and excavation of shipwrecks. Remote sensing and diving search projects undertaken in 1992, 1993 and 1996 resulted in the location of a range of significant maritime heritage sites in the harbour including Arab-Indian stone anchors, the VOC wrecks of the Avondster (1659) and Hercules (1661) and 19th century iron steamship wrecks. Due to advances since 1997 in position-fixing and remote sensing techniques, it was necessary to resurvey the proposed port development area to accurately position and identify possible sites to be impacted by the development. Existing GPS positions were only accurate to 200 m as a result of GPS Selective Availability (decommissioned in 2000). As part of the contractual agreement between WAM and the Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology, this report is to be submitted to the Sri Lankan Department of Archaeology by 17 December 2007.

CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa, India, Email: [email protected] 3. Cultural Heritage Agency, Smallepad 5, 3811 MG Amersfoort, The Netherlands 4. Physical Research Laboratory, Navarangpura, Ahmedabad, India Abstract Investigations in 2010 by an international team of maritime archaeologists yielded a concentration of artefacts identified by the authors as the remains of a shipwreck off the southern coastal village of Godawaya, Sri Lanka. The major findings from this site include many quern stones, various types of ceramics, and glass ingots. The comparative study of the artefacts from the Godawaya site and terrestrial sites of Sri Lanka and India suggest that the ship might have been originated from the southern part of the Indian subcontinent. Based on analysis of the artefacts and radiocarbon dating of wood fragments from the site, a broad date of 2nd BCE to 2st centuries CE is assigned to the assemblage, assigning it to the early historical period. Thus, this is the earliest known and as yet investigated shipwreck in South Asia. Keywords: Sri Lanka, quern stones, Black and Red Ware, glass ingots, Early historic shipwreck 1.0 Introduction The strategic location of Sri Lanka in the northern centre of the Indian Ocean allowed it to develop to a great extent during the medieval period (8th to 14th centuries) as a centre of maritime commercial interfaces between East and West, from East Asia to the Persian Gulf, Arabian Peninsula and African continent (Hourani 1995, Tampoe 1990, Bopearachchi 1996).The island, however, played an important role in earlier and later periods (Ray 2003:117).

  • Development Plan for Greater Galle Area 2019 - 2030
    DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR GREATER GALLE AREA 2019 - 2030 Part I Urban Development Authority District office - Galle I Minister’s forward ii Local Authority Chairman’s Foreword iii Preface Cities are changing; therefore, the emerging trends of development requires to find innovative solutions to meet the changes well. The Urban Development itself also means responsibility for future generations through innovations. Galle as one of the rapidly growing cities in the region as well as in Sri Lanka, the spatial structure of the city also being subjected to changes over the time by expanding the growth towards outer city. This scenario has made significant changes in the city structure and the development. Therefore, in this context, Greater Galle Development Plan will be an instrument that offers visionary, intelligent solutions for the future-oriented development of Greater Galle to the questions arise today and that will arise in the future.
