Under the first phase of the project, an industrial port with a 1,000 metre jetty and an oil refinery estimated to cost $1 billion would be constructed.Although the Hambantota port was initially planned as a service and industrial port, it is expected to be developed as a trans-shipment port at a later stage to handle 20 million containers per year.<a href="http://www.newkerala.com/one.php?action=fullnews&id=74997" target="_blank">newkerala</a></blockquote>
