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 onthe 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. <a href="http://hambantotazone.com/huge-rock-layer-was-preventing-further-dredging-of-the-new-hambantota-harbour/" target="_blank">http://hambantotazone.com/huge-rock-layer-was-preventing-further-dredging-of-the-new-hambantota-harbour/</a>   Just to take you back to a News that was on media in March 2011Lloyd'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. </blockquote>
