Lanka seeks USD 40 mln Chinese loan for port rock removal
August 24, 2011 08:08 am
Sri Lanka’s port authority on Tuesday said it has asked China for $40 million loan to demolish a massive seabed rock obstructing the entrance of its new $1.4 billion Hambantota port, due to start commercial operations this year.
The island nation launched the port in August 2010 with an initial target of handling 2,500 ships annually, as a cornerstone of a $6 billion drive to rebuild infrastructure that was neglected during a 25-year civil war.
But large ships are yet to call on the port and the country’s main opposition United National Party (UNP) has pointed to the rock as a sign of government mismanagement.
Cabinet spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella said yesterday that blasting and removing the granite blockade at the mouth of the harbour was a must to develop the Hambantota Harbour
“We actually do not know the extent of the rock and how long it would take to remove it. However, we have to do it sooner than later as its existence hampers the development of the Hambantota Harbour further,” Minister Rambukwella stressed.
Asked whether the feasibility study had not detected the said rock, he said that may be a failure on
the part of those who carried out the feasibility study and added that a huge amount of money would
have to be spent to blast and remove the rock.

Just to take you back to a News that was on media in March 2011
Lloyd's of London, the British insurance and reinsurance company has rejected maritime insurance related to Hambantota harbour.
Loyd’s have stated that the situation of the harbor would encourage forming sand dunes due to the large amount of sand that deposits in the harbor daily. They also point out ships could get damaged due to the number of rocks that exist in the sea nearby and also point out that the surf is rough throughout the year in the area.
The government of Sri Lanka has asked the Chinese company which is carrying out constructions of the harbour to remove the large rock at the entrance to it. However, the Chinese company has pointed out that removal of the rock would endanger the whole Hambantota town.
