Adani Ports Expands Colombo Terminal Capacity to 3.2 Million TEUs with $750 Million Investment
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has completed a $750 million expansion of its Colombo West International Terminal (CWIT), doubling its capacity from 1.6 million to 3.2 million TEUs. Inaugurated by Sri Lankan Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, the upgrade enables the terminal to berth three ultra-large container vessels simultaneously and aims to handle about 25% of Colombo Port's targeted 13 million TEU capacity by 2028. CWIT has rapidly handled 2 million TEUs within 18 months, reinforcing Colombo's role as a key transshipment hub on the East-West maritime trade route.
