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.

RO-RO refers to wheeled cargo such as cars, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers and railroad cars etc. Hambantota International Port offers RO-RO services for transshipment, as well as local vehicle imports. Operating as a transshipment hub for RO-RO, HIP doubled its volumes in 2018, and has continued its steady growth over 2019 and 2020. In order to ensure greater efficiency, environment-friendliness, safety and better service to clients, HIP has invested approximately USD 600,000 in equipment and machinery. We have also signed Terminal Service Agreements with leading shipping lines.

The Bulk Terminal Operating System (BTOS) assures efficient and real-time data sharing with our clients, thereby helping us reduce operational complexities, optimize terminal productivity and effectively collaborate with multiple stakeholders. This includes a real-time bar-code scanning system. Our E-Release system for Customs clearance is an effective step in minimizing paper usage and going green, which are on-going initiatives.

As the port & maritime industry embraces new technologies and best-practices, we are making sure that our staff are kept abreast of the latest developments. Staff trainings is carried out by Singaporean and Japanese port captains to ensure quality, productivity and efficiency.

Port security at HIP conforms to the latest international codes and conventions. Our investments in advanced security systems includes 24-hour surveillance and comprehensive insurance covering all aspects of the port operations and management.
