The sheltered bay provides excellent conditions for berthing and ship-to-ship cargo transfers. The port was originally used as a naval base with naval berths and a naval airstrip. Today, the port handled 3.2 million tons in 2016 with the main commodities being dry bulk cargoes (wheat, clinker, gypsum and coal), liquid bulk (refined products) and breakbulk or general cargo (project cargo, steel products). The port of Trincomalee is an important port for Sri Lanka, with several dedicated port terminals - the Tokyo Cement facility, the Lanka IOC oil facility and SLPA oil berth, the Prima Flour grain facility, and the TTA tea facility - and a common berth for general cargo and dry bulks - the Ashroff jetty. Additionally, several old oil storage tanks, originating from WO-II, are situated on government land near the port. In 2016, the port handled 3.2 million tons, consisting mainly of dry bulks, such as cement, coal, gypsum, and grains; and liquid bulks, such as oil products. Additionally, the port offers auxiliary services, such as areas for ship-to-ship operations, layup facilities, crew change services, and other services to ships anchored in the bay. The table below indicates the main facilities in the port and their respective functions.

The following can be observed: • Dry bulk volumes account for the majority of throughput at the port. • In terms of absolute figures, clinker was the largest growth driver over the period from 2010 to 2016. The majority of the clinker volumes are destined for the Tokyo Cement facility in Trincomalee and Puttalam based Siam Cement. Additionally, some volumes are transhipped to smaller vessels hrough midstream operations, in order to serve Siam Cement facility in Galle. ‘000 Tons 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Discharged Wheat in bulk 911 1,090 901 676 825 868 714 760 Clinker in bulk 738 985 1,369 1,244 1,383 1,419 1,593 1,678 Gypsum in bulk 12 43 107 80 114 86 112 166 Coal in bulk 106 105 89 99 113 93 103 90 Other (slag) - - - 10 14 - 22 - Liquid bulk (fuel) 191 113 179 166 173 182 281 417 Total Discharged 1,960 2,337 2,646 2,276 2,621 2,649 2,825 3,120 Loaded Wheat bran pallets 139 - - 140 127 162 153 122 Clinker - - - - - 217 536 619 Other 55 237 213 20 - - - 37 Total Loaded 194 237 213 159 127 379 689 778 Cargo Handled 2,154 2,574 2,859 2,435 2,748 3,027 3,514 3,897 confidential Trincomalee Port Development Plan | March 2019 Supporting Processes & Activities IT The capabilities of SLPA’s current IT systems in Trincomalee are very limited. Some Oracle Financial system modules are implemented in the Port of Trincomalee, as an extension of the systems used by the SLPA Head Office in Colombo. However, due to poor internet connectivity, the system needs to be reset frequently to carry out data transactions. Additionally, the Trincomalee based SLPA facilities lack essential IT systems, such as (i) a Harbour Master Information Management System that is linked to a Vessel Traffic Management System; (ii) online cargo payment and clearance systems for clients; and (iii) port operations management systems that tracks and manages berth availability, scheduling, warehouse availability, and tug availability. Ship Repair Some ship repair services are provided at the Mud Cove facility, which features some workshops and a privately operated floating crane to lift vessels onto the quay. The facility mainly caters to SLPA vessels, but several private vessels are also moored alongside the quay waiting for repairs. Connectivity The access channel to Trincomalee port passes through the natural deep-water bay; as such, the channel has a minimum depth of CD -22.0m and a width of 1,554m. The depth of the navigable waters within the harbour vary between CD -11.0m and CD -30.0 m.
