General overview
• The Port is connected to the national rail network; however, virtually all cargo movements in and out of the port are by roadtransport
• Nationally rail based freight transport accounts for only 1% leading to poor productivity, high economic priced. Sri Lanka loosing competitive advantage
• High economic cost of road congestion
(estimated Rs. 40 Bn – 2007)
