Yala National Park is the second largest national park in Sri Lanka and is one of the most visited national parks in the country. Yala is an ideal place to spot the “big four” of Sri Lankan wildlife; the leopard, the shaggy coated sloth bear, the Asian elephant and the wild buffalo. The vast areas of flooded grass land is also home to the spotted deer, sambar, wild boar, jackal, peacocks, crocodiles, mongoose and many other. The birdlife is fantastic too. Numerous species such as rosy starlings, paradise flycatcher, crested hawk eagle, blue-tailed bee-eater and common flora inhabit this natural wilderness.
Lush green carpets of grass, towering trees and exotic flowers welcome you at the Mirijjawila Botanical Gardens leaving a first-hand experience of nature. The prime purpose of setting up this botanical garden is to conserve the thinning number of trees specific to dry lands and plants of medicinal importance. One can hire a vehicle and even take a guided tour which would be more informative as the guides have thorough knowledge about the flora collection.
For a change you are the one in a cage; a covered coach lets you observe the animals as they appear to be in their natural habitat. The park area is divided into six zones with four zones dedicated to carnivorous animals and two zones dedicated to herbivores animals. African lions, Asian elephants, zebras, giraffes, Bactrian camels, Arabian Oryx, Lechwe, Indian blue bulls, African cape buffaloes and large birds such as ostriches are found in the park. The first ever open safari park in Sri Lanka.

For ships plying the East-West route, Hambantota International Port is located mid-way between Singapore and Fujaira, which supply over 60 million tonnes of fuel per year. Given the distance between these two ports, Hambantota is an ideal location for ships to make a bunkering call. In order to meet this demand, HIP is actively engaged in improving the quality and quantity of bunker fuel, as well as safe and efficient delivery.
HIP has also ensured that its bunkering operations conform to the International Maritime Organisation’s 2020 regulations on reducing sulphur oxide (SOx) emissions. The Bunkering Facility and Tank Farm at Hambantota consists of 14 tanks with a total storage capacity of 80,000 m3. This includes individual storage capacities of 51,000 m3 of VLSFO and 23,000 m3 of MDO/MGO and 6,000 m3 for LPG.
These facilities have been constructed approximately 1.2 km from the waterfront, and are connected to the oil terminal through a pipeline. The tank farm also consists of an oil blending facility, fuel testing facility, firefighting equipment, weigh bridge and truck loading facility. The two oil terminals at HIP have a total of 10 loading arms - 2 for LPG and 8 for bunkering, which facilitate ease of loading and unloading to and from the storage tanks. HIP can be considered a one-stop port to call, as vessels can refuel and load cargo, conduct repairs, clean and lay-by.
Hambantota International Port has great potential in energy services due to its location in the Indian Ocean rim, where 50% of the world’s maritime oil is traded. HIP’s LPG and future LNG operations are sure to cement the port’s position as an energy hub in the region. Some of the factors in our favour include:
- Availability of very low-sulfur fuel (VLSFO)
- A Lloyds certified Fuel Storage, Pumping, Firefighting & Jetty infrastructure facility
- Advance Fire Fighting Facility with dedicated firefighting team
- 14 tanks and 80,000 m3 capacity
- Oil Jetty: 610m
- Waste Oil Treatment Facility
- Bunker Capacity 74,000m3
- Oil Sample testing/laboratory services internationally accepted components and ingredients of the of MFO (VLSFO, MGO), LPG, LNG and fresh water
- Honeywell EPKS based redundant control system
- Each area has CCTV system with night vision, zooming function and longer period recording facilities
- We have invested and additional USD13M for the repair, renovation and upgrading of the oil and tank facilities. This has been carried out for the purpose of achieving the highest standard in safety and quality control

LSFO / HSFO Bunkering / De-bunkering and Shore Reception Facilities for Sludge and EGCS Residue
- 'Bunker fuel’ used by ships, is among the worst pollutants on earth. According to The Lancet, one of the world's oldest and best-known, peer-reviewed general medical journals, “… a study estimated that ship-related pollution is responsible globally for about 400 000 premature deaths from lung cancer and cardiovascular disease, and 14 million childhood asthma cases each year”. Hence, the implementation of the IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap, which restricts ship fuel to a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% is a step in the right direction. As a result, vessels are left with either of the following options.
- Use of fuel oil which is inherently low in its Sulphur contents (0.5% m/m)
- Limit the air pollution by installing a closed looped exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS)
- HIP is perfectly positioned as a one-stop-solution for both above options through our Energy Services which are being designed and developed for handling LSFO/HSFO bunkering and de-bunkering of HSFO. We also have shore reception facilities for Sludge and EGCS residue.
Supply of Fresh Water
Ships require frequent supplies of fresh water in large quantities, in order to avoid contamination and the resultant outbreaks of disease onboard. HIP receives high quality purified and treated potable water directly from the municipality. Special measures are in place for ensuring the quality of fresh water after it enters the port, and before it is supplied to ships.
Towage
Our fleet of modern tugs is manned by dedicated and experienced crew. The present fleet consists of 04 Azimuth Stern Drive tugs with bollard pull of 65 tons. These tugs are equipped with firefighting capabilities. HIP can assist ships with towage/NUC movements, standby tug duties and escorting of towage on an exclusive basis.
Ship Lay-up
It is important to maintain and repair vessels in order to ensure optimization of vessel efficiency, operational efficiency and safe passage. In this regard, we offer safe sites for hot or cold lay-ups, which will ensure crew safety, vessel security and protection to the environment, as well as preserving the vessel’s structure, by protecting against corrosive environment and machinery wear and tear.

Port Investment Services
The Port Investment Services responsibility lies with generating export oriented Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects for the port industrial park, encompassing an extent of 228 acres of land for industries to build and operate their business in addition to carrying out property management for the Maritime Center. Port Related businesses and industries benefit on time-savings and minimum logistic costs as they have easy access to the port services for those engaging in imports and exports for their business. We also offer corporate office spaces at the Hambantota Maritime Center for prospective tenants who wish to engage their business from the Hambantota Port.
The Industrial Park
The Port Industrial Park holds a little over two square kilometers of dedicated land, which is made available for the setup of business and industries. Having the Hambantota Port declared as a free-port, eases financial burdens in today’s fast moving day and age for shippers and manufacturers to manage their cargo movement on import, export and re-export. The Port Industrial Park follows and replicates the success of China Merchants Port’s strategic ‘PPC’ or Port, Park & City model, which was first effectively implemented in the renowned industrial zone - Shekou in Shenzhen, in the People’s Republic of China. This model has enabled investors to benefit from considerable savings in cost and time as a result of having the port within close proximity to their manufacturing plant
The industrial park has demarcated and classified 3 industry clusters such as Heavy Industries, Light Industries and Food processing industries. This demarcation is indicated on the diagram below and also shows the land area allocated for each cluster.
HIP welcomes the setting up of any manufacturing industry that’s geared towards exports in the Hambantota International port Industrial park, provided it conforms to the Investment, Environment Laws and Policies of the Government of Sri Lanka. Heavy polluting Industries such as coal and cement manufacturing will not be allowed.
