Demurrage Freeze Period

In light of the Sri Lanka Customs recommencing the release of vehicles, the Hambantota International Port has implemented the following guidelines to ease our customers’ requirements during this difficult time.

• Any demurrage costs incurred from the 16 March 2020 to the 30 April 2020 will be frozen and waived off.
• The above concession will lapse on the 30 April and the recommencing of demurrage charges will be on 1 May 2020.
• The standard default 10 days free period is applicable for all the vehicles from the date of discharge irrespective of the demurrage freeze (waiver).
