With its capacity doubled from 1.6 million to 3.2 million TEUs, the expansion will further CWIT’s ambition to handle nearly 25% of the Port of Colombo's 13 million TEU target by 2028. Building on its earlier record as the fastest terminal to handle 1 million TEUs within its inaugural year in 2024, CWIT has achieved yet another historic milestone in the Port of Colombo's history by handling 2 million TEUs within its first 18 months of operation. "The success of Colombo West International Terminal demonstrates what Sri Lanka can achieve when bold vision, trusted partnerships and modern infrastructure come together. Reaching 2 million TEUs in record time and commencing Phase II today is not just a milestone for the Port of Colombo, but a milestone for our nation's economic future. As Sri Lanka strengthens its position at the crossroads of global trade, investments such as CWIT are creating jobs, attracting international commerce, enhancing competitiveness, and reinforcing our ambition to become the leading maritime and logistics hub of the Indian Ocean,” Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Dr. Harini Amarasuriya said. With additional capacity, CWIT would be able to simultaneously berth three ultra-large container vessels, strengthening Colombo's position as a critical transshipment hub on the East-West trade route. "Doubling CWIT's capacity to 3.2 million TEUs with a USD 750 Mn investment is a direct statement of confidence from APSEZ and from the global shipping lines. Phase II is a landmark for APSEZ's international portfolio and sharpens our position across the Indian Ocean's key trade corridors. With expanded capacity, full automation and deep-water infrastructure, CWIT is built to be Colombo's premier transshipment gateway and contribute to EXIM cargo in Sri Lanka,” Mr. Ashwani Gupta, Whole-Time Director and CEO, APSEZ said. “This is an important milestone for CWIT and for the Port of Colombo. Reaching 2 million TEUs in just 18 months is a strong reflection of what this partnership has been able to achieve. With the expansion of the terminal, we see an even greater opportunity to strengthen Colombo’s position as a key transshipment hub and support Sri Lanka’s growth as an important centre for trade in the region. We are pleased to be part of this journey alongside APSEZ and the Sri Lanka Ports Authority.” Mr. Krishan Balendra, Chairperson, John Keells Group added BSE: 532921 | NSE: ADANIPORTS | Bloomberg: ADSEZ:IN | Reuters: APSE.NS CWIT is Sri Lanka's first fully automated deep-water container terminal.
