The Port of Colombo has been recognized as the top-performing port globally for the first quarter of 2024 by Alphaliner. With an impressive growth rate of 23.6%, it surpassed other leading ports, including the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Tanjung Pelepas.

Key drivers of this success include significant increases in domestic, transshipment, and total volumes.

The Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) terminals played a crucial role, with notable growth in volumes across all categories.

The port's strategic location and advanced facilities have solidified its status as a premier maritime hub in South Asia, attracting major global shipping lines.
