Hambantota Port Addresses Vehicle Storage Congestion Amid RORO Volume Growth
Hambantota International Port (HIP) is experiencing reduced operational capacity due to over 1,200 vehicles being stored long-term, some for several years, which impedes the handling of new RORO cargo. The port operator, HIPG, clarified that its storage charges are an operational tool to encourage timely clearance and maintain cargo flow, not a primary revenue stream. These legacy storage issues stem from past import restrictions and administrative delays beyond the port's control, affecting Sri Lanka's automotive logistics efficiency.
